Why This Sprinter Suspension Kit Costs So Much — And Why It Works
Key takeaways
- The Factory Race Series is a complete Fox and Agile package, not just a set of shocks: it combines coilover struts, auxiliary front bypass shocks, rear internal-bypass reservoir shocks, progressive leaf packs, and the required mounting hardware.
- The suspension is valved and sprung around the van's actual axle weight and intended use.
- High-speed and low-speed compression refer to shock-shaft speed, not vehicle speed.
- Small clicker changes can noticeably alter ride quality, but most owners dial in a setting and leave it there.
- Correct spring rate matters more than over-springing the van simply to gain ride height.
- Rear leaf packs must be selected by measured rear axle weight, and AHQ generally recommends retaining the factory sway bar.
- Double-shear rear shock brackets address the risk of sheared shock bolts.
