The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks # RM-2470-2580 is a great option for your 2020 Vanleigh 385RD8K axles and will do a phenomenal job at giving you a better ride quality.
The correct MORryde X-Factor Crossmember for your standard axle setup is the part # MR33WR but you'll need to install this on the front-most and rear-most hangers since this won't fit with the main body of the Comfort Ride system as it completely covers the middle spring hanger that the X-Factor installs on.
Then for disc brakes I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR89AE if you have 9/16" wheel studs or the kit # K2HR858AE if you have 5/8" wheel studs instead. These kits are exactly the same with the only difference being the stud size.
Keep in mind that you also need the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit # HBA16-252-82 which allows you to operate the hydraulic disc brakes using your electric brake controller.
