Can RoadActive Suspension Be Used on a 2019 Ford F-350 With Top Overload Springs?

Question

Question:

I am towing a 5th-wheel trailer using a 2019 F350 Super Duty King Ranch. The truck has OEM Factory Overload Springs. I am interested in RAS3611-SHD RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty. However, I do not want to remove the factory overload springs. I there a kit that allows me to keep the OEM overload springs but also add the RoadActive Suspension?

Due to the design of the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-SLHD you would have to remove the upper overload spring on your 2019 Ford F-350 to use their system. As an alternative if you wish to keep the top overload spring this will depend on if you have the 3" block between the leaf spring and the top overload spring. If you do have this block you will want to look at the SuperSprings SuperSway Stops # SS65GR. Otherwise the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-128-40-2 would be a good option if you do not have the 3" block.
