Question:
Have a 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 Max Tow and going to purchase an Airstream 25foot trailer. The hitch weight is advertised at ~850lbs. Will also have a weight distribution hitch. Is it better to get close to the actual hitch weight or have a bit extra? … Will the unloaded ride suffer very much with the extra capability? Note: being an Airstream I will have to carry more in the truck bed Thanks

Expert Reply:
I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-117-47 instead of part # SSR-117-40 for your 2019 Ford F-150. In regards to the SumoSprings, you will always want to have a safety margin and the above will be perfect for your setup. The springs have a progressive load rate so the 1,500 model with 850+ lbs will have a smoother ride than the 1,000 lb model with 850+ lbs.
In regards to unloaded ride quality, there should be no affect on this for the exception of going over large bumps.
