For my 2017 F150 I threw two 70 lb sandbags in the box behind the wheel wells and it helped, I transferred the sandbags to my 2021. Both F150's came with the 18" wheels. Have noticed that when I added an extra spare tire the ride improved somewhat more. Driving with no weight in the box results in a jittery ride, in my experience adding a little weight smooths things out somewhat.
I bought some workbenchs for my garage and they weighed ~300lbs total and while I was driving them home, I was thinking about how nice the truck felt overall with that weight in the back! It was a nice discovery for sure.

I've wondered about this - does the Powerboost ride better because of the extra 500(ish)lbs of hybrid system & battery sitting between the frame rails?

I’m planning on installing Fox 2.0 system. I’ve heard the ride is a bit firmer but gets better after break in.
