STAGE 6.3 - EKKO + 3500 AWD Sprinter 2" LIFT (2023-Present) VAN COMPASS

• 
  These are IN STOCK. Buy today, ships in less than a week.
  

The Stage 6.3 kit combines Van Compass's Stage 2.3 suspension package with their Striker 4x4 Sprinter 2.0” suspension lift system. 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. The 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 the 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!

• Take your suspension to the next level by adding the Rally Strut in place of the factory stock shock. This is an add-on to the Van Compass suspensions and massively enhances the performance!

With this lift kit, 315/75/16 (35”) tires can be fitted with the following conditions met:

• Owl Super Single Wheels
• Removal of the front mudflaps
• Slight trimming of the rear of the front fender
• Trimming of the front bumper and front inner fender well liner.

Mini-Leaf pack vs Opti-Rate

Recently Van Compass developed a solid new offering for those that want the ultimate in adjustability as they modify their van. With the Mini-Leaf Pack you are going to be able to increase the spring rate of your van and drastically increase the ride. That said, you have to choose your sprint rate upfront. Now with the option of the Opti-Rate Full Spring Pack, you are able to use the Adjustable Preload Spacers (APS) to increase the spring rate if your increase the weight of your van. This means you can order your suspension and continue to add accessories and simply tune your suspension to support the new vehicle weight. More on Opti-Rate below

Opti-Rate Full Spring Pack:

Van Compass's Opti-Rate spring pack represents the culmination of over a decade spent tuning leaf springs for various ride heights, payloads, applications and uses. Built-out vans often suffer from harsh bottom-out due to the constant weight being carried and will drive very poorly overall. Previously, leaf springs had to be ordered to a specific weight range and lift height, which meant either guessing or waiting until completion to order parts. The Opti-rate spring gives new flexibility in tuning both your spring rate and ride height, all in one package.

With an industry-first tunable preload system, they have developed a spring that truly is a 'one size fits all' solution, perfect for van builders, kit installers, and DIY'ers building their vans step by step on their own. The Opti-rate spring is made up of 3 distinct parts: the main springs in the primary stage, a 3-leaf secondary stage, and the Adjustable Preload Spacers (APS). The Adjustable Preload Spacers are machined blocks with stackable delrin glide pads that preload the secondary stage into the main stage. The springs are designed in a way that there is a gap between the 2 stages, perfect for adding our billet machined APS. When the main spring is weighted, the APS are able to engage the primary and secondary stages together. Changing the preload spacers requires little more than a floor jack, socket wrench, and a mallet; the springs can stay in the vehicle.

For light vans, or customers wanting the softest ride, no APS is needed and the spring works in its softest configuration. Middle weight vans, or customers wanting a firmer rear spring rate and increased ride height can add the APS with 1 delrin spacer pad. Heavy vans, or customers wanting the maximum spring rate and ride height can install the APS with 2 Delrin spacer pads.

This spring is designed as a tunable solution, and as a way to correct spring rate. They have designed this spring to return the lost ride height without adding excessive lift. These springs are fully compatible with lift blocks and existing rear geometry correction components to allow for our 2" lift kits to work perfectly for those that want increased clearance and a more aggressive stance.

Lead-Time: In Stock (Ships in 1-2 weeks). This is an estimate, and stock levels can change quickly.

**Note - 170 EXT vans may require a full spring pack replacement due to the possibility of weight being distributed behind the rear axle.
