The best option you have to improve and soften the ride on your 2018 Fleetwood Bounder 36D would be to use the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-187-54-1. These springs install between the frame and leaf spring pack. They will work to absorb shock, minimize sway, and improve the wear life of your existing suspension components.

The springs are made in the U.S.A. and come with a 2-year warranty. If you would like to get a better idea of how they work you can take a look at the install video I have attached for you.

For the front of your motorhome, I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-170-40-2. The front springs will have all of the same attributes and qualities as the rear set.
