Question:
Hello, i have a 2017 f150 - stock truck. I haul a 4500 lb trailer 6 times per year. It really makes my truck squat in the rear end. I am looking for a product that maintains factory ride when not hauling, but helps the truck sit level when hauling. THinking either the Sumo or the TImbren stop kits but am not sure which one is for me. Help would be appreciated. Thanks,

The main difference between SumoSprings part # SSR-117-47 and Timbrens part # TFR1504E for a 2017 Ford F-150 is ride quality and support. The Timbrens are stiffer so they provide more support but this also means there is not as much give so the ride quality will be a bit harsher while loaded. The Timbrens are more popular and what I recommend.
I have attached an install video I did a on a newer model below.
