For the rear axle of your 2020 Ford F-150 I highly recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582. These durable, long-lasting air springs (which feature a unique double-convoluted construction for an extremely long lifespan) will do a great job of providing additional support for the heavy cargo or hooked-up trailer on your F-150.
The air springs themselves can be adjusted from 5 psi to 100 psi to maintain a comfortable ride regardless of your application and they're made right here in the USA. This system features a 4,800 pound load-leveling capacity. The included custom brackets allow for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation on your truck as well.
I have attached an installation video along with the written manual below that you can check out.
To go along with an air spring system like this I do recommend also adding a compressor kit, such as the Firestone Air Command # F2158, which lets you adjust the bags from the comfort of your cab. I have included a short video review on this kit as well.
