Both the SumoSprings Helper Springs, # SSR-184-40-1 and # SSR-187-40-1, are confirmed to fit the F-53 Ford Chassis of your 2016 Thor Ace RV.

The difference between the two sets of helper springs is the # SSR-184-40-1 helper springs has a weigh capacity of 3,000 lbs at 50 percent compression, while the # SSR-187-40-1 springs have a 2,600 lbs capacity. Other than the weight capacity difference, both of these helper springs sets are identical in construction and installation.

I have attached a couple of videos for you to review for added information on these two SumoSprings helper springs kits.
