• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for Mercedes Sprinter 2500 RV
• In general, you could go one of two directions on this, but I think your best option is going to be with a leaf spring assist type solution, since they're going to provide the best sway control because they create an added layer to your existing leaf springs.

• Can I Use the Roadmaster Tire Carrier with a Stowaway Cargo Box Attached to RV
• We may have an alternate solution for you on this, but the long story short here is that we don't have anything that will make this work in the manner you're looking for.

In looking at the calculations, the weight of the tire would also need to...

• As long as you've got an existing roof rack system with crossbars then you can use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 84" Long x 62" Wide # Y05049-39 since this comes with the hardware to mount to most factory and aftermarket crossbars.
