I prefer the rubber spring style of suspension enhancement as it does not require you to inflate air bags at any point which makes it much more convenient. Since the Timbrens have a reputation as being somewhat harsh when the truck is unloaded I really like the SumoSprings like the part # SSR-117-47 which is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ford F-150.
