Duallyvalve Kits for Class B or C - Sprinter Trucks
DL1SP "should be" the correct model.
You must check the steel wheel's hole shape. My M.Y. 14 and your 16 Sprinter 3500 should have OVAL holes in the wheel. You need to know because there is a rubber grommet that positions the stem in the center of the oval hole.
You need to take your View to a tire shop specializing in big trucks and Class A RVs. They have the heavy duty jacks and tire equipment to safely jack & demount the tires & install the new valves. Should take about an hour.
I didn't do the fronts as they are accessible.
Another thought.... Once installed, it will be a circus trying to "rotate" the tires as the stems are going to be in all the wrong places. Considering the expense of rotating 6 doughnuts and messing with the stems, I decided to run them all in place till they wear out or become damaged.
So far @ 14K+ & using the placard pressure all tires look really good. No discernable wear.
If you weigh out and are under the GVWR, you can reduce the pressure a tiny bit. (placard = 61 psi @ 11,030 lbs GVWR. Usually, all up I'm ~ 10,100ish and I back off to 58-59 psi.)
