According to my research your 2019 Jayco Alante 29S is built on a Ford F-53 chassis with a GVWR of 18,000 lbs. Since this is the case the correct SumoSprings for your front axle is part # SSF-170-40-2.

Attached is an installation video of these being installed on a 2018 F-53 chassis that you can reference.

If you are just starting to add suspension enhancement to your Jayco Alante then I actually recommend installing SumoSprings on the rear first with part # SSR-184-40-1 because you will see more improvement with rear suspension before front suspension.
