The Fast Adjust shocks allow you to easily soften up the suspension for extended dirt road travel or firm it up for windy days and long highway stretches for sports car like handling. This is the perfect kit for stock Revels, light weight adventure vans, and most passenger vans weighing over 7800lbs to smooth out the harshness experienced on washboard roads and sharp, abrupt impacts. Our Stage 2.3 suspension package transforms the Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 from a violently swaying and lumbering cargo van into a vehicle with true German luxury car feeling and control both on and offroad. Vehicle control and suspension compliance are the two areas of ride quality we focused on when we engineered this kit, and each shock is packed full of our knowledge tuning suspensions to work perfectly for the intended purposes of these adventure vans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cornerstone of our Stage 4.3 kit is the fully adjustable Falcon Piggyback Reservoir 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks. These shocks have a MASSIVE range of compression adjustment at the simple flip of a knob. With the large, red Fast Adjust knob, placed in an easy to access spot, you will definitely take advantage of the adjustment features of these shocks. Position 1, the softest setting, is optimized for rough dirt road travel. Setting the knob to position 2, and utilizing the micro dial to fine tune, sets the shocks for everyday comfort and is the preferred setting for everyday road going travel. This is your van’s every day normal running around town setting. Position 3, the firmest setting, will engage maximum stability for loaded highway travel and treacherous cross wind conditions. Cross wind sway, poor cornering stability, low speed rocking and harshness are a thing of the past with the Van Compass Stage 4.3 kit installed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Stage 4.3 kit retains the factory suspension geometry which is critical for safe emergency lane change procedures as well as off-road performance, and corrects sagging rear suspension but adding the tuned mini pack add a leaf system. This spring pack increases your spring rate, netting roughly 1.25\" of lift and helping to preserve ride height in heavily loaded vans. While other kits on the market force the van up 2” in ride height and sacrifice critical down travel in order to gain front spring rate, our Stage 2.3 kit utilizes a front sumo spring to accomplish the same thing without maxing out the limits of your van’s front suspension. This means control arm angles, axle shaft and steering angles stay neutral and your van retains it’s ability to articulate and keep it’s tires planted on the ground while traversing rough forest roads. The front sumo spring greatly helps with front stability and reducing harsh bottoming of the front suspension without sacrificing suspension travel. It optimizes your van’s front suspension and properly loads the chassis in an area designed to hold a spring load. Paired with a tuned Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust front shock and the original Van Compass secondary shock mounting bracketry, your Sprinter will have a sporty but compliant feeling the way a Mercedes Benz vehicle should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Compass","offers":[{"title":"SHOCK TUNE \/ SHOCK TUNE","offer_id":41417414377611,"sku":"","price":3415.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/8392\/2315\/products\/FreedomVanGo_Dorsay23_1800x1800_adfc1382-2c76-402f-b4e2-1c278474293a.webp?v=1682002191"},{"product_id":"van-compass-stage-1-4x4-mercedes-sprinter-2019-2500","title":"Van Compass Stage 1 Suspension — Sprinter 4x4 2019+ 2500","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sprinter 4x4 was built capable but soft — stiff over small bumps, swingy on highway sweepers, and prone to porpoising over washboard at speed.

The kit improves the ride quality of the van, provides clearance for larger tires and offers additional ground clearance. The Striker system retains the stock vehicle suspension geometry, payload rating and ride quality. All of the suspension lift system components are constructed of high quality materials here in the USA and are powder coated for durability and corrosion resistance. Our custom tuned Falcon shocks smooth out the harshness experienced on washboard roads and sharp, abrupt impacts. The bounce experienced over large bumps is reduced and the side to side sway over uneven surfaces is minimized. Each set of Falcon shocks are specifically tuned per application. We have added a set of front sumo springs to increase spring rate, stability and bottoming out. This is our top kit for Revels, Storytellers, adventure vans, and passenger vans looking to increase their capabilities with added ground clearance, the smoother ride and clearance offered by larger tires and the un-matched adaptability and handling of our Falcon 3.3 shocks!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ReadMore\" class=\"product-details__description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrue 2\" of lift, front and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePreserves factory CV shaft angles, suspension geometry and handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4-corner shock adjustment with 10 compression settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReduces the back and forth sway over obstacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnhances cornering stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls large and small bumps more efficiently than the factory shocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReduces cross wind sway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith this lift kit, 315\/75\/16 (35”) tires can be fitted with the following conditions met:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemoval of the front mudflaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlight trimming of the rear of the front fender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrimming of the front bumper and front inner fender well liner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMinimum of a 9\/16” (14mm) wheel spacer be installed on factory steel wheels with 54mm of offset or any other wheel that has comparable offset.
