Jounce style suspension enhancement like the Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1094F or Timbrens # TFRTT1504E will physically fit with the onboard scale of your 2021 Ford F-150 (per my contact at SumoSprings) but since the leveling and reporting system has to do with how level the back of your truck is I think it would be naïve to assume these won't have an impact on the system.

Suspension enhancement is designed to help level towing and hauling applications so if something is put in place that helps mitigate the level then it will definitely throw the sensors for a loop so you won't be able to rely on the numbers all the way.

Attached are some videos for you to check out!
