Hi Vernon,
For the front axle of your 2016 Itasca Sunova 36Z motorhome, we don't offer any air bag options. However, we do have the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Coil Springs for Front Axle part # SSF-170-40-2. SumoSprings are great because they'll replace the front bump stops, so once they're installed you can forget they're even there. This kit is rated for 3,000lbs of load support and is specially designed for your Ford F-53 motorhome chassis.
For the rear axle, if you prefer air bags, I suggest going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs Part # AL88344. This kit is rated for 5,000lbs of support and the air bags contain internal jounce bumpers, so if the air bag were to ever lose pressure the jounce will keep it from bottoming out. The air pressure in each air can be independently adjusted between 5 and 100 psi so you can adjust your springs to the load.
For an air compressor, if you prefer an in-cab gauge I suggest using the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Dual Path part # AL25856. This compressor can maintain a pressure of 120 psi, which is more than the air bags, and will automatically reinflate the bags if pressure gets too low. The in-cab gauge comes with its own stand to mount on the dash and lets you inflate or deflate the air bags with a one-touch control on it. This lets you watch the pressure in the air bags change in real time.
Or if you prefer a digital approach, the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount Part # AL74000EZ uses the Air Lift mobile app so you can adjust the pressure from your phone. It also comes with a remote as well in case you don't have service. It has the same 120 psi max pressure, keeps the air bags inflated, and dual path for setting different pressures in each bag like the other compressor as well.
Do you tow or haul anything behind your Sunova motorhome?
