Which Roadactive Suspension Kit for 2022 Ford F-150 4WD  

Douglas, I used the HD version of the Roadactive kit on my 2020 F150 and I would not change a thing. It makes my ride much more enjoyable when towing my travel trailer. I highly recommend it. Even with the trailer attached, I think that the ride is improved. It's very easy to install. Good luck.

I purchased the heavy duty one for my 2018 F150 crew cab with 6.5 bed and wished I had purchased the regular one. I was looking for a more controlled feel when hitching up the used travel trailer we purchased - Grand Design Imagine 2400BH - about 6000 lbs typical loading. The HD Road Active suspension did help. It also raised the tailgate at least an inch even when at a minimal tension setting. It is my guess that the regular version would have been better for my situation. The ride was noticeably stiffer. Not bad but stiffer. It did make the truck feel more like a sports car around turns such as driving in the mountains - good. Daily driving on the expressway, a little more stiff over bumps. I am also a sales rep and have a bed full of heavy samples often under a fiberglass cap. The Road Active helped with that. Not long after adding the Road Active, I needed to change shocks (leaking). I went with an upgraded shock and that offered more control and stiffened a touch more. At the same time did the front struts which leveled the truck but raised the entire thing a little over an inch. At that point the daily ride was stiffer than I liked but it did handle loads better and less body roll. If I could re-design the Road Active, I would make it possible to click it on when towing the travel trailer which I do just a few times a year. Then be able to remove it when I am not towing. It was shortly after doing all of this to the suspension that the transmission started acting funny again (about 150k miles). I traded the Ford for a Toyota Tundra. It has coil springs. The suspension on the Tundra is quite soft. Tried the Timbren. When the trailer had the truck sitting on the Timbren, then more stable. But when unloaded the suspension sat just off of the Timbren and going over a bump led to a jolt and sometimes a donkey kick. I returned the Timbren. I then tried Rough Country (think called Vertex) variable shocks and like them. Increase the damping when towing or loading the truck bed and lighten when not. It is subtle and even the lowest setting is more firm than the original shocks. What made the biggest difference in stability of the travel trailer was upgrading the suspension on the trailer. The original leaf springs were not completely flat or W, but they did not have a great smiley face. I went with a slightly stronger leaf spring and Morryde CRE3000 equalizer. This greatly reduced the body roll of the trailer and made towing much easier. Hope all of this helps you make your decision.

Imstalled the HD version on my 2017 F150 towing an Airstream Flying Cloud 27FBT with an Equalizer WDH. Improved any sag and actually improved the ride even when not towing. Shop that installed for me said they had installed one other similar system and got a similar response from that owner. Highly recommend.
