Question:
I need some help selecting the correct system. 2017 F150 XLT 4WD #7000 GWRV #1900 Payload I will be picking up my new Travel Trailer in May. My new trailer will bring me to @ 600 lbs shy of my payload, completely loaded with gear. I will be using a WDH also. And I want to make sure I have that load in control and dont sag. Questions: 1. Which kit? Standard or HD 2. Do I set the trailer up 1st then install the kit? Note I am not over my payload or Towable limits Thanks

For your 2017 Ford F-150 towing a trailer the RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS94FR which is the HD kit is the best option as it gives the best support that is adjustable, the easiest install, and improves the ride quality when towing and not towing.
You'll need to setup the amount of support you want from the RAS kit before setting up your weight distribution system spring bar tension.
