Helpful Expert Reply:

I recommend using the Sumo Springs Rebel # SSF-170-40-2 on your 2018 Newmar Bay Sport on the Ford F-53 chassis. You mentioned the GVWR of 22,500-lbs, which is right at the edge of these springs, but they are still the correct ones according to my contact at SuperSprings.

I've linked an installation video of these springs on a similar Class A for you to check out.
