What would be better to raise truck up a little to haul travel trailer?
Hello, my question is about when I hook up to my RV it squats my truck 2010 F150- V8, a little more than I'd like. What would be better- a lift kit, bigger tires or some other suggestion? (Possibly a load leveler on my trailer? The RV is a 21 ft Jayco feather weight- dry weight weighs around 4,000 pounds).
I'd appreciate any tips : )

Mine I believe was this one. It worked well for me for what I used it for.

My dad's hitch for his 28' camper is more like this one. He bought his from an area camper sales business quite a few years ago.

He also uses an anti sway bar on his. I don't believe I ever did as my camper was pretty small and the weight distribution seemed to be enough.

how much have you towed the trailer?
Do you have any problem with sway? Like when a semi blows past you or if you get hit by a crosswind?
If you are buying a new WD hitch, then I would recommend adding the sway control at the same time. Your trailer is smaller so maybe its not needed.... but it can make it more comfortable and safer to tow.
I run a setup similar to the links posted above... my WD bars are separate from the sway control. It is easy to hook up and works well.
You can also get WD bars that double as sway control. I've seen them but have no experience with them so I can't comment on them. Maybe someone else can.
