Good question, and I can help you out with the best option for Timbrens for your 2020 Ford F-250 for towing your gooseneck trailer, which are the 250SDJ:

- Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ

The reason why the # TFR250SDJ are the best option for your F-250 is because they are designed for your application, which is to add support to your truck as you are towing, and are double-convoluted, so they won't affect the comfort of your ride;

On the other hand, the Timbren # TFRTT350J are designed for service vehicles, or if you use a slide-in camper with constant weight. They are single-convoluted, which means they are more aggressive, stiffer, and will make the ride of your F-250 less comfortable. The Timbrens are a really smart choice for your F-250 to improve your truck's handling and performance when you are towing because they take the brunt of the weight and help level and stabilize your truck, just make sure to go with the best kit, the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ.

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…
