There are two possible options from Air Lift for your 2009 Tioga 31M. They are as follows:

-Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57242

-Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88242

The difference between these two kits is the jounce bumpers. Since you're putting these on a motorhome I would choose the option that has them. This will add extra support and help prevent any bottoming out. Drilling will be required for installation.

If you want to avoid the drilling you could install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F22ZR instead. These also have a superior construction and are more reliable when compared lift.
