For a standard 2006 Ford F-150 you want the 6,000 lb Timbren Set # TFR150D. The 7,000 lb Set # TFRTT150D is a Severe Service kit and is designed for vehicles that will have a pretty constant heavy load like if you use a slide-in camper or salt spreader frequently - or even if you used your truck with a crane or aerial device like what you see with a tow truck.

Attached is an installation video of the 6K Timbren kit being installed on a 2004 F-150 for you to check out.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
