Expert Reply:
I do have some recommendations to help improve your overall ride quality when driving unloaded, but I would not recommend the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611 as it will add additional support to the springs when the truck is unloaded. Instead I recommend adding the Front # SSF-111-40 and Rear # SSR-114-47 SumoSprings to your 2006 Ford F-250. These are proportional springs which are designed to have a a small air gap or only just start to make contact when unloaded. That will help the truck absorb bumps and vibrations transferred from the roadway.
You can also consider adding sway bars if you are noticing a lot of body roll. We have the 2WD Front # RM-1139-156, 4WD Front # RM-1139-158 and Rear # RM-1139-170 sway bars from Roadmaster.
