2015-2026 Sprinter 3500/3500XD 4x4 Suspension Leveling Kit (7053-3500-M)

Built for the heaviest Sprinter 3500 builds, the Van Compass Stage 3 system tightens up loose handling on vans running at or near GVWR full time. A four-corner Falcon 2.1 monotube shock upgrade, an Opti-Rate rear leaf spring pack and progressive foam bump stops combine to control sway, soak up impacts and restore the ride height lost to a heavy conversion. Vehicle control and suspension compliance were the two priorities behind the design, and the payoff is confident performance over any terrain.

Features

• VC-tuned Falcon 2.1 monotube shocks, front and rear, for dramatically improved handling
• Innovative Opti-Rate rear leaf spring pack restores ride height and corrects sag, typically yielding 1.25" of rear lift for a leveled stance
• Larger, more effective damper piston reduces body lean, violent sway and jarring impacts
• Progressive foam Bump Buddy jounce bumpers replace hard factory rubber for smoother spring progression and added bottom-out resistance
• Ideal for adventure vans at GVWR, heavy Class B and C RVs, and heavy passenger vans seeking a handling upgrade
