Would Two Suspension Enhancement Kits Help 2018 Ford F-150 Towing a Trailer
Updated 07/30/2019 | Published 07/29/2019 >
Question:
I have air bags to help level my truck when towing. Is there any advantage to add the RAS kit to my truck

Helpful Expert Reply:
In general you don't really need two sets of suspension enhancement on a truck like yours. The RAS kit part # RAS3611-Y will help give you more suspension support but if you are finding that even with the air bag kit you need more support you probably are towing beyond the capacity of the truck.
A bigger advantage would be achieved with a weight distribution system as it takes and distributes some of the trailer tongue weight up to the front axle of the tow vehicle which helps with braking, handling, and suspension sag.
I attached a help article on the systems for you to check out as well.
