Best Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Ford F-150 Towing Trailer

Question

Question:

I’m looking for something to reduce the sag on my 2018 f150 short bed with 4x4 when towing. I have a BandW in bed gooseneck hitch so I realize my choices are limited. I also have a 2” lift on the truck. I was eyeing the sumo springs for the ease of install and low maintenance. Any advice would be appreciated.

This also will work with a 2 inch lift as well.
