I recommend using the 1,000LB SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS88UV on your 2023 Ford F-150. Since your weight distribution hitch is redistributing most of the tongue weight from your trailer across your truck they will not have as much weight to support. While they do offer the 1,500LB Springs # SS28UV, I only recommend using these on trucks which will regularly carry heavy loads.

You will be able to use either the SumoSprings Solo #SS88UV or Rebel #SS53UV on your 2021 Ford F-150 4x4 since you only have a leveling kit installed. The leveling kit only raises the front suspension and leaves the rear at stock ride height.…
