The SumoSprings I recommend for your 2020 Thor Axis, which is built on a Ford E-450 chassis are:

- Rear Axle: SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-130-54
- Front Axle: SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-106-47

These will fit any of the floorplans for a '20 Axis, the 24.1, 25.6 and 27.7. The SumoSprings are a great addition to your rig because they reduce the amount of sway and body roll you will experience, which is all too common on any size motorhome. The SumoSprings work so well because they are made of a microcellular urethane which compress independently based on the amount of weight being transferred, like you experience when making a tight turn or encounter crosswinds.

I've added links to a couple video reviews of the SumoSprings for you to check out.
