Description
4X4 Sprinters are very capable and versatile vehicles, however many owners have now experienced the stiff factory ride over small bumps and extreme swaying on uneven ruts. Van Compass has developed a custom tuned Falcon shock kit to improve the Sprinters handling both on and off the trail.
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 to your van weight range.
Aluminum bodied, 2.315 Inch diameter piggy back reservoir shocks offer a huge range of adjustment. The 3.3 fast adjust knob offer quick and easy compression adjustment when the shock is installed.
Position one is the lightest setting, great for blasting down washboard roads or rough city streets. Position 2 is a mid-setting with 8 micro adjustments, a great way to dial in the ride and handling setting for driver preference.
Position 3 is the firmest setting, used for occasional heavy loads or when driving conditions require the most control. The shocks are manufactured as left and right pairs.
The 3.3 fast adjust knob is placed in a spot that is easy to see and adjust.

Associated Comments:
Recommended Wheel Size: 17 Inch x 8.5 Inch, +45MM offset
Wheel Fitment Note: AWD vans require fitment of a wheel with 6 Inch backspacing or less. For a 17 Inch x8 Inch wheel, this corresponds with a +38MM offset. Wheels with a greater offset like +52MM, or more backspacing like 6.5 Inch, will rub the tire on the shock reservoir when the steering is turned.
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.
