While the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y will have enough capacity to help reduce the sag from your 26' travel trailer a weight distribution hitch is a much better option.
A weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET will provide you with a far safer ride. It uses weight distribution spring bars to move some of the weight to the front axle of your 2019 Ford F-150 providing you with a better distribution across your entire F-150 rather than still carrying all the tongue weight on the rear end. The Equal-i-zer also has a built in sway control system that will reduce the sway of your trailer caused by wind and turbulence from large trucks on the roads. This weight distribution system is rated for trailers with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs with a maximum trailer weight of 10,000lbs. If you can tell me exactly what travel trailer you have I can confirm the right kit for your trailer.
If your trailer meets these weight specifications you will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the included 2-5/16" hitch ball. The Sway Bracket Jackets # EQ95-01-5150 can be used to help reduce the amount of noise the hitch produces from the steel spring bars dragging on the steel trailer frame brackets while you drive.
