The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F35FV you were looking at for your 2020 Ford F-250 does not have a tongue weight rating, but instead has a 5000lb load leveling capacity. This is any weight in the bed of your truck and/or the tongue weight of your trailer.

For the majority of trucks, 5000lbs is more than enough as that is more than most trucks on the market can handle. If you would rather go with a heavier duty option there is the # F95FV which has a 7500lb load leveling capacity.

With either of these options I recommend adding an on-board air compressor like the # F2219 which will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the helper springs from the comfort of your driver seat, instead of having to manually inflate the air bags each time.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
