Need a suspension upgrade for your Mercedes Sprinter AWD or 4x4? The Mercedes Sprinter AWD/4x4 (2015-Present 2500 Only) Stage 4.3 System Suspension Package by Van Compass delivers exceptional stability, comfort, and control specifically designed for heavy adventure vans, conversion vans, Class B RVs, and passenger vans frequently operating near or above GVWR. Proven as best-selling suspension kit, the Stage 4.3 addresses common handling issues, significantly enhancing your Sprinter's ride quality both on and off the pavement.
At the heart of the Stage 4.3 system are the VC-tuned Falcon 3.3 Adjustable Shocks, featuring 10 intuitive firmness settings easily controlled by an accessible Fast Adjust knob. Quickly adjust the shocks from soft, compliant settings ideal for rough terrain, to firm, stable control suited for highway driving and windy conditions. This wider range of adjustability far exceeds typical competitors, dramatically improving handling flexibility.
The included rear mini leaf spring pack seamlessly integrates with your factory leaf springs, restoring approximately 1.25 inches of lost ride height and correcting rear sag due to heavy loads. This provides your Sprinter with a balanced, level stance, while preserving the smooth, quiet ride characteristics of factory components.
Additionally, the progressive foam Bump Buddy replacement jounce bumpers significantly improve spring progression, effectively reducing sway and increasing bottom-out resistance without harshness, noise, or clunking common with standard factory rubber stops.
Recommended Wheel Size: 17" x 8.5", +45mm offset
NOTE: Wheels with 6.5" backspacing, or +52mm offset on an 8" wheel, require a minimum 14 mm wheel spacer to prevent tire contact with auxiliary shocks at full steering angle. EX: Black Rhino Warlord, Method 701
NOTE: Vans equipped with HD Rear AC Package require extra care when mounting front shocks, refrigerant lines may need to be slightly bent and re-secured.
NOTE: NOT compatible with Sumo Spring Rebel series of springs, specifically Sumo Spring part numbers: SSR-327-47-2 and SSR-327-40-2 There is a Sumo Spring bracket associated with those kits which makes contact with the shock body.
