Question:
I have a 2013 F-150 super cab FX4 61/2foot bed. Factory tow package. I plan to tow a 30foot travel trailer with a 6200# dry weight and a 900# tongue weight. I was looking at installing the RAS 3611-YHD but my research says that it might be overkill. I guess I dont understand what the different weight capacities refer to. Your recommendations?

Expert Reply:
The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit item # RAS3611-YHD you were looking is going to be over rated for your travel trailer's 900 lbs tongue weight. It would be better to go with one of the 2,000 lbs systems. This adds 2,000 lbs of strength to your leaf springs without compromising ride quality. I have listed them below.

4WD - RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit item # RAS3611-Y
The RAS works by applying an additional set of springs to your Ford's rear leaf springs. These springs apply corrective counter assistance to the existing leaf springs to reduce sag or prevent bottoming out. This system easily installs over your leaf springs to improve the stability and control of your factory suspension.
I have linked an installation video below.
