Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2020 Ford F350 FX4
Question:
I have a Ford F350 FX4 and Im pulling a 5th wheel trailer. With the trailer on I do experience some squat in the rear end. Im debating between the Timbrens TFR350SDJ and the Firestone Ride Rite F89ZR but Im just not sure which would be best for my situation. How do I determine which would work best for me to level out my truck when pulling the 5th wheel? Thank you,

Though it will depend on how often you tow the trailer, either will definitely help with the squatting you are experiencing. That being said, I prefer the Firestone # F35FV. This is due to them being able to be deflated down to 5 psi when not towing. This will make them nearly, if not completely, unnoticeable when not towing. They can also adjust up to 100 psi giving them very good support when needed.
The Timbren # TFR350SDJ will be the more heavy duty option. It is not adjustable, but also will not need to be adjusted after installed. If you are towing most of the time, this is a good option. But, if you do not tow that often, this will affect the ride. It replaces the factory jounces and stiffen the ride quite a bit.
