For a great rear-suspension option for your 2022 Ford F-350 4x4 when towing your 35-foot gooseneck horse trailer, I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SSR-128-47-2. These springs offer 4600lbs of load-leveling support which will be perfect for providing stability to the rear suspension of your F-350 when towing.

These springs are progressive rate meaning the first bit of the spring is soft so your unloaded ride quality is not affected, but then stiffens up the more it is compressed.

I included a video of the # SSR-128-47-2 for you to take a look at.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
