Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend using the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E for trailer towing with your 2020 Ford F-150 because this is rated to help out with 6,000 lbs, but it won't be feeling the full weight of your 7K trailer. Timbren's have a reputation for making the unloaded ride of a truck a bit more stiff which is why I recommend the lightest weight rating.
The other thing to keep in mind is that a properly rated weight distribution system will have a better effect on your setup than suspension enhancement will because the Timbren kit basically adds a space while a weight distribution will level your towing rig by redistributing the tongue weight among all axles so you get a better performance (plus most weight distribution kits have built in sway control now).
If you don't already have a weight distribution kit then I recommend trying out the 8K Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU47FR prior to installing a Timbren kit.

Hey Patrick, how did things go with the Timbren rear suspension on your F-150 when towing your 7K trailer? Did it help reduce the squat as you hoped? Your update could make it easier for others setting up similar towing rigs.
