For your 2018 Thor Vegas built on a Ford E-450 van chassis you can use front SumoSprings # SSF-106-40 or # SSF-106-47 if the vehicle is 2-wheel drive. There is no SumoSpring option for 4-wheel drive models but if you have a 4x4 then you can instead use Timbren springs # TUMDF70.

The difference between the 2 SumoSpring options is capacity. Set # SSF-106-40 is rated at 500 pounds at 50 percent compression whereas # SSF-106-47 is rated for 1,000 pounds at 50 percent compression which would make for a little bit stiffer ride.
