Suspension enhancement is a very good idea for your 2021 Ford F-350, even with just occasional towing, but especially for longer trips as your truck will be easier to handle with a more level ride. What I highly recommend for your F-350 is the RoadActive Suspension, with the correct option depending on if you have top overload springs or not:
- WITH Top Overload Springs: RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-SLHD
- WITHOUT Top Overload Springs: RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-SHD
You mentioned minimal maintenance, and these will not require any at all, as you'll just install them and that's that. Apart from that, the reason I really like the RoadActive is because it actively reinforces your original leaf spring suspension, so it does help ensure longevity of your original leaf spring suspension.
What this kit does is install on top of your factory leaf springs and takes the brunt of the weight that would be placed on those springs, so your current suspension works normally. So your springs won't flatten out when there is extra weight on the back end of your truck as you are towing.
