I just confirmed the SumoSprings you will want for 2017 Ford F-53 Chassis on Winnebago Vista LX at 18,000 lbs GVWR are the following:

For the front you will want the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2 which is a fit for your Winnebago and designed for vehicles with GVWR between 16,000 and 22,000 lbs.

For the rear you will want the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-184-40-1 rated for 16,000 and 18,000 lbs GVWR and they confirm the fit to include Winnebago models like your Vista LX.

The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-187-40-1 was fitguided for your chassis at one time and the manufacturer has now added a note that it is NOT a confirmed fit for the Winnebago models on that chassis. I'm glad you asked again because the manufacturer has made that change in their fit guide.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
