2020 F-150 w/ HD package update:

 

Started with ICON front & rear with an add-a-leaf and sumo stops. After 45k miles the ride on the road has been fine but was unhappy with the off road ride. I am no expert on suspension issues, we just want to enjoy camping away from the glamping crowd. I really appreciate all the info available on this site - THANKS! Checked with a local shop who told me the shocks did not have enough travel. After reading about Deaver Off Road Suspension (Santa Ana Ca.) on WTW and a talk with Jeff, I made an appointment to have them take a look. They installed two additional leafs and cut down the sumo. Scott helped me, he is a great guy who is very knowledgeable & while that's nice what mattered was a improved ride. I was unsure if it would make much of a difference but it was noticeable immediately and after a fire road test - I am very happy.

Glad you got the solution that worked for you! 

I have a 2016 F-150 HDPP also.. 

I added Biltstein 5100's (1 1/4 leveling up front) and it definitely improved the ride.. 

 

Without camper the truck is still very stiff and not great to drive but fortunately, its mostly a recreational vehicle at this point..

You definitely got the right advice. I'm not a fan of Sumo Springs, but at least cutting them down should help.
