Nick, re: the timbrens.
So far Timbrens are the only suspension "add on" i've done to my F150. If you tow anything with the bed empty the Timbrens will provide a fairly harsh/bumpy ride. I frequently tow a ~2700lb sailboat and it's tongue weight is just enough to begin to load up the Timbrens, and I can see the boat bouncing all around in back in those instances as the suspension is pretty stiff at that point.
With the camper on though, the timbrens are fantastic, and the boat pulls nice and smooth and isn't too jarring back there.
With no weight in the bed, the timbrens don't ever "load up", unless you hit a really large bump, and the ride is pretty much the same as stock.
I like the timbrens as they were pretty cheap comparatively speaking to airbags, etc. But, for dual/multi use of my truck I might go with airbags and see if I can find a shorter timbren to use more as a true "overload" type of bumpstop.
