Based on my research, it looks like your 2007 Thor Hurricane 33H on the Ford F-53 Chassis has a gross vehicle weight of 20,500 pounds.
With this in mind, the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSF-171-40-2 for the front axle and # SSR-187-54-1 for the rear axle will work great. They are designed for vehicles that have a GVWR between 20,000 and 26,000 pounds. These springs will help to cushion bumps and support heavy loads to level your ride and minimize sway when traveling. The SumoSprings provide progressive load control, which means they will compress according to the weight of your cargo.
I have attached an installation video on an RV that has an F-53 chassis like yours for you to check out.
