Hello Everyone,

I'm curious if anyone has tried the RoadActive Suspension on their Powerboost yet? Is it worth it? Can you notice a difference?

Ford F-150 Question about RoadActive Suspension on PowerBoost 1695858254212


I'm pulling a 33' travel trailer with a GVWR of 7700 lbs and a tongue weight of 750 lbs not including the weight distribution hitch. My 23 Powerboost XLT has a payload capacity of 1551 lbs and a rear GAWR of 4150 lbs and a GVWR of 7350 lbs. I'm also debating adding E rated tires to assist me in towing.
So far we have taken two trips from San Diego to Lake Elsinore and San Diego to Malibu.

I put RAS on my 2022 PowerBoost and it has been great. Install was easy and just raised the rear by about a half inch. I tow a 9000 pound boat and it tows great. I also have a 400 pound motorcycle that I put on a hitch mounted carrier and the truck doesn't squat a bit. I put RAS on right away, so I don't really know what it would have been like without it, I just knew I wanted some additional help and liked the reviews I read about it.

Installed it this spring after adding the cap to add a little extra support for towing the boat on our wonderful Michigan roads. Paired it with some Bilstein 5100 dampers and I've been pretty happy with it.

Rear end doesn't sag any more, doesn't bottom out on expansion joints, and overall is much more comfortable and composed.

My 21 PB I installed. It definitely helps both unloaded and pulling my 31 ft RV. I noticed it rebounds on bumps better and doesn't roll around as bad unloaded. I like mine. I have it on the 25% setting and have the heavy duty version. I'd wait until they have a sale though. I got mine 100$off for 4th of July sale.
