The correct SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs for a 2015 Jayco Alante 31L are part # SSR-184-40-1 and the correct Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs are part # AL57344. That said, they both mount outside of the frame in the same spot so you would not be able to use both. Normally, I tend to like air bags better because of their adjustability but for applications like this where you pretty much have the same load every time, I recommend the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs which are also maintenance free so there's no messing with air leaks or filling/deflating the air bags. They are also one of the most popular options out there as far as suspension upgrades go.
