The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-183-54-1 can be installed without removing the wheels on your 2014 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 36LA, but it will be more complicated because of restriction working room. I've attached a video to show you the installation which will require mounting the upper bracket to the frame which will require drilling a few holes.

It is possible to install without removing the wheel, but having the equipment for drilling holes in close proximity to the inner wheel will be required for 2 of the 8 holes. I've attached a photo to help as that front lower hole will be the only issue.
