The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-180-54-1 for the rear axle on your 2016 Fleetwood Bounder 35K do not require drilling. SumoSprings are an excellent choice for suspension enhancement because there is no maintenance. You install them and then do not have to worry about them!

If you are putting suspension enhancement on your RV I also recommend putting it on the front axle as well. A great no-drill option from Super Springs would be the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 which replace your factory bump stops.
