If you don't presently tow, you can use the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TMBRSP35A on your 2016 MB Sprinter 3500 but they may be a little stiff. They will reduce body roll, but they make the ride a little stiff for most people when they are not towing.

For a similar support but a softer ride, I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-338-47 instead.

In either case, I do recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-106-47 to minimize sway and body roll, absorb bumps/shock, and improve your overall comfort in driving.
