Since your 2016 Thor A.C.E 29.3 RV utilizes a Ford F-53 chassis, you can use suspension enhancements designed for this chassis. I recommend using the following products depending on the GVWR of your RV.

Front:

SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-170-40-2 (16,000 and 22,000 lbs)

SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-173-40-2 (24,000 and 26,000 lbs)

Rear:

SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-184-40-1 (16,000 and 18,000 lbs)

SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-183-54-1 (24,000 and 26,000 lbs)

I have included an installation and review video of the rear axle springs for you as well.
