Question:

Have 2021 F250 6.7TD FX4 CC SB that will tow our 5th wheel weighing in at 14000. Which would work best the Sumo 2800, the two piece rebel 3000 or other option similar to jounce style helpers?

For your 2021 Ford F-250 FX4 Crew Cab Short Bed with the 6.7L Turbo Diesel towing a 5th wheel weighing 14000lbs I recommend going with the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SSR-128-40-2 you were looking at.

The reason for this is they have a 3000lb rating which will be perfect for the pin weight of your trailer without being overly stiff, and will be a great maintenance free rear suspension enhancement option that is easy to install while being compatible with your 5th wheel hitch..

These helper springs will not only fight sagging due to the pin weight of your trailer, but will also absorb road shock giving you a smoother ride, and will also help to minimize sway.

I included a video of the # SSR-128-40-2 for you to take a look at.
