Question:

Hello. I have a 2019 Ford F150 Raptor and I am looking on ways on how to reduce sagging in the rear when towing. I am stuck between the RAS3611 and Sumo SS52GR. I am wondering which one of these would least affect the unloaded ride since the truck is my daily. I also noticed that the RAS system has a higher weight capacity so it should be more useful, right? Thank you!

The extra tongue weight capacity won't matter because your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor's is below the 1,500 lbs of the SumoSprings item # SS52GR. Having a higher rated system won't increase your truck's capacity.

Since you are concerned about daily driving, I strongly recommend the SumoSprings item # SS52GR over the RAS item # RAS3611. While the RAS system is adjustable the SumoSprings have a built in progressive load control. This means the more weight you put on the rear end of your truck the more the springs engage to offer support. When you're driving around without your trailer you won't notice them at all.

I have linked a review video below for the SumoSprings.
