There is suspension enhancement for a 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 3500, assuming you have a 2-wheel drive and standard suspension (as opposed to the option air-ride suspension on some Weekenders), although there are no air bags or air suspension enhancements that fit. Instead, what you can use are SumoSprings, which help reduce sway, keep your vehicle level and give you a smoother ride.

The correct fit for a 2018 Sprinter 3500 RV is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-338-54.

I have added links below to a couple video reviews of these springs for you to check out as well.
