Will RoadActive Suspension for Ford F-150 Work with Weight Distribution WDH

Question

Question:

I recently order the RAS for my 2021 F150 and currently using the Curt 17500 WDH with sway control. Will the two systems and the trucks builtin electronic sway control system work together or oppose one another? I’m wondering should I just use a WDH without sway control.

Yes, you can use the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS3611-YHD with a weight distribution system on a Ford F-150. The spring bar tension won't be as high with the RAS as it woud be without but aside from that there won't be any negative affects. In regards to the integrated on-board trailer sway control, we don't typically hear of adverse affects with this and a weight distribution system.
