It appears Ford is using self-leveling shocks like Nivomat. It's a completely self-contained unit with no additional external hardware needed.
I think this is correct. Thanks for the link. I had never heard of this referred to as a mechanical load level device, but this is probably what Ford uses. Chrysler used this same shock on vans with the trailer tow package.
Interesting here that most of the responders here were quick to bring up WDH, but actually the OP never made a reference to WDH at all. When you use a vehicle as a daily driver during the 90-95% of the time when you are not towing, having a level vehicle can be a good thing. That's why I have Timbrens on my old Ford van.
