Talking towing and stabilization roadster active suspension

Hello all,
I've been towing travel trailers for about 10 years now, I have never had to upgrade the rear of my truck before but am considering it now, I've recently purchased a longer heaver travel trailer still within the half ton towing realm.(2021 jay feather 24bh) my old trailer actually had much more tongue weight then this one however this new one is longer. im interested in the roadmaster active suspension to pair with my equalizer hitch for sway control. im just wondering if anyone has had this system installed on their half ton. my tow vehicle is a 2015 ford f150 with 5.0 max tow package. thanks

Not farmilar with this Roadmaster suspension kit.

By chance have you run over a cat scale and taken the three measurements yet?

My parent's last tt (SOB) design was really bad, and had an inherently low tongue weight. This caused issues with poor handling.

I had RAS on my first truck (1/2 ton) and loved it. It didn't do much for sway control, but did help with squat. I also tried it with my current truck, but ended up with air bags as with the RAS there was still too much squat for my liking.
