Hey Bill, thanks for the information. The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs item # SS26MV are compatible with those Dexter U-bolt brackets. We've had customers send in a few pics of their installs in the past and I've attached them below.
The one thing you'll want to check though is that you have 5-5/16" - 6-1/2" between the top of the spring plate and the bottom of the trailer frame. If you have that spacing then the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs item # SS26MV will indeed fit your 5th wheel trailer. These are sold as a pair. You'll need one set per axle.
Do you drive over bumpy roads regularly or just typical highway and flat top?
