Best Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2021 Ford F-350 Towing Gooseneck Trailer
Question:
Id like a little bit of lift to level things out just a touch when towing my 20,000lb gooseneck with my SRW 2021 F350. I dont need too much of a change but it would be nice to level things out a little bit because the SRW F350s squat so much while towing and it makes the trailer unlevel. Im considering adding the rear 2,800 lb sumo spring because it sounds like an easy install but am wondering if thats the best option. I read that one guy who towed his fifth wheel with these got some porpoising when going over bumps with it but I dont know how common this is. My other options are the Supersprings but I dont know if this is the right application for them. Or of course going with airbags though I dont want to install that myself so Im sure the install costs would be a lot higher and I dont really like adding all of that weight to the trailer. Basically if Im just looking to boost the rear of the pickup up 1-2 inches when fully loaded with 3,500 lbs of pin weight and maybe adding a bit of cushioning while towing fully loaded which we do often, without wrecking the drive quality while unloaded, whats the best option?

The best suspension enhancement solution we have for your 2021 Ford F-350 is the RoadActive Systems like the part # RAS3611-SHD for if you do not have factory overload springs or # RAS3611-SLHD for if you do have them.
Unlike other kits this one provides adjustable support that reduces sag like you are wanting but also does the best job at cushioning the ride quality and improving stability and handling. This by far is exactly what you are looking for based on what you described.
