How To Help Stop Bouncing While Towing With a 2020 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 2020 F150, 3.5 Ecoboost, FX4, max towing package installed. I have upgraded my tires to Cooper AT3 XLT. I also use a Hensley Hitch to assist with sway and weight distribution. I am trying to minimize the bounce of the truck/trailer when going over bumps and dips in the road. I have been looking at this product, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Item # TFR1504E, or upgrading the rear shocks. Which direction would you recommend? I am towing a 2021 Surveyor Legend 203RKLE with about 600 pounds tongue weight.

Expert Reply:
The best option we can offer to help cut down on excessive bounce while towing is with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-117-47. The SumoSprings will do a great job of helping to reduce road shock while towing or hauling. They provide support as they but due to the softer material, they have a smoother ride with less bouncing than say the comparable Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR1504E.
