Towing with squat
Hi. I have a 2010 F150, GVWR 7350 lb, with payload capacity of 1540 lbs. I currently am pulling a 2003 jayco 272 camper, dry weight 6710 lbs, hitch weight of 1120 lbs.
I know my camper is way to heavy for my truck, I plan on getting a different one in the future, but for right now it’s what I have. When loaded with weight distribution hitch, I still have a really good squat, maybe 2-2.5 inches. I’ve been researching Roadmaster Active Suspension, SuperSprings, and even SumoSprings to help battle the squat and make my towing safer on the road.
Any suggestions on what might be best for my current situation? Thanks!

I don’t know your trailer, but for starters, are the propane tanks in the tongue? Batteries? Do you have, like most, a cargo compartment in the front of the TT?, if yes, unload it and move all that cargo closer or behind the axles. I would look at everything from the axles to the front and see if it can be repositioned, even if it is just during transportation.

Timbrens are simple and easy to install and work pretty good, I use them on my 2008 sierra RCSB and on my 17 f150 RCSB for a nice level ride wile loaded up and or towing.
