Although it isn't required, I do recommend removing your wheels when you install the Front # SSF-170-40-2 and Rear # SSR-185-40-1 SumoSprings on your 2001 Winnebago. I spoke with my contact at SumoSprings who said that they have heard of people installing the kits without removing the wheels but the wheels do restrict the amount of room you have to operate quite a bit so it would be much easier without the wheels in the way.

Attached are the installation instructions for you to check out as well.
