The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-187-54-1 which are a fit for the 2018 Ford F-53 chassis that your 2018 Fleetwood Bounder 36D is on will not require you to remove the rear wheels for installation. If you need help with installation you can take a look at the video I have attached for you. The wheels were removed in the video to give a clear picture of how to install them but this is not a requirement.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
