Van Compass STAGE 2.3 SYSTEM - SPRINTER 2500 & 3500 4X4 - 2015 to 2022 - LIGHT/MID TUNE - MID/HEAVY TUNE

Upgrade your Sprinter's suspension to meet the demands of heavier builds with the Van Compass STAGE 2.3 SYSTEM - SPRINTER 2500 4X4, 2015-2022 - MID/HEAVY TUNE (7071-MH). Designed for adventure vans and camper builds closer to or at GVWR, this system delivers optimized ride quality, improved handling, and enhanced control on and off the pavement.

The foundation of the Stage 2.3 kit is our 4-corner VC-tuned Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks, offering 10 intuitive damping settings. Whether you're cruising highways or exploring off-road trails, these shocks give you the flexibility to adapt your ride—firm up for high-speed stability or soften things up for comfort and compliance over rough terrain.
