Falcon shocks for towing. Any good?

Hello,

I am thinking of adding the Falcon adjustable Tow Shocks to my 2021 F150 Powerboost crewcab. 

I tow a 7400lbs trailer. The problems I am trying to solve are slow bounce recovery when driving on roads with small bumps and a little bit of front end floating when driving in 20mph winds. I use an equimizer and it is set properly to distribute weight front and back. The truck just bounces and floats a little in windy and road imperfections. 

Would the Falcon shocks help?
Would adjustable airbags do better? 

They are priced about the same. I just need to make a choice if they both make any difference at all.

    Shocks won't fix frontend floating. You need to shift more weight.

    I'll say not enough to cover the cost of the shocks. Plus you would need to enquire how they are valved. In my experience, most off the shelf high $ remote res/rebuildable shocks are designed for quick compliant valving on small bumps and big resistance on ground out type bumps. Aka high speed off road driving.
    That said, a properly valved set of big shocks could help.
    I just don't see needing to put new shocks on a brand new top of the line pickup to tow a modest load.
