Comparing Timbrens and SumoSprings for a 2017 Ford F-250

Question:

Would it be better to use SumoSprings or Timbrens for a 2017 F250 6.7L CCSB pulling a 5th wheel that is 11.2k dry, 14k fully loaded?

The main difference between the Timbrens part # TFR250SDJ and SumoSprings part # SSR-127-54 is that the Timbrens provide more support but have a stiffer ride whereas the SumoSprings provide less support but a more comfortable ride. If you value a reduction in sag/squat most then go with the Timbrens but if you value ride quality most then go with the SumoSprings.

If you're looking for the best of both worlds, support/comfort then go with a set of airbags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F35FV. The air can be adjusted inside the bags so you can get the perfect mix of support/comfort for each load.
