Since you have three different things you are using your truck for with your camper and two different trailers, the best suspension upgrade for your 2020 Ford F-250 4x4 is definitely going to be air bags. They would still be my recommendation even if you were only towing one trailer, but for three different applications, because you can adjust the amount of pressure you need, you'll get the best support from air bags. And for your '20 F-250 the best option is from Firestone:

- Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV

These air bags will give your truck the most support to help with the squat you are experiencing, and also improve your truck's handling when you are towing or have your camper on the back. The reason for that is the air bags will take the brunt of the weight to level you out, and this allows your front wheels to make more contact with the ground, as opposed to being slightly raised like they are with a heavy load at the rear of the truck.

The Firestone # F89ZR are the best air bags you can get because they are the most well-constructed; the Ride-Rite air bags are made with four layers of reinforced rubber, which is a thicker, more reliable construction than other air bags which have just two layers of rubber. The quality of their build means not only are they going to provide your F-250 with the best support, they are also the most dependable.

During the installation of these air bags, you are going to want to ensure your air lines are cut perfectly straight, and the best way to do this is by using the Air Hose Cutter # AL10530. Also, I do highly recommend adding a compressor so you can much more easily control and monitor the air pressure of the bags, the Air Command Compressor System - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled # F2610.

I have added links below to a number of video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
