Good morning John! So we actually don't have replacement leaf springs for vehicles, so if your 2015 F150xl needs new suspension, you'll want to do that before going the route of upgrading with suspension enhancement items that we are able to provide.

It really sounds like you need some suspension work and possibly some steering parts/bushing etc. I'd take it to a local shop and get it checked out. If you still need suspension enhancement after checking to make sure everything is safe for the road, I'd recommend adding something like Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E on the rear to keep it from squatting. I have this on my old Nissan Titan, and it stays level when towing anything. If you have a level/lift on the rear then you'll also need Spacer Kit # T68MR.

I wouldn't waste money on front end suspension enhancement unless you plan to add a snow plow or something heavy on the front.
