Hey Kerry! I mean you can cut the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SS47PV but if you do you'll void the warranty and they're going to deteriorate pretty quickly. I recommend using the lighter capacity set item # SS97PV. These only have a 1,400 lbs capacity and are confirmed to fit your 2017 Nissan Frontier.

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…
