2015 Ford Transit lift kit in the works
Posted by Mark Hesser on
Van Compass plans to offer a lift kit for the 2015+ Ford Transit. The lift kit will retain the factory ride characteristics by spacing the bump stops, shocks, sway bar links, and struts back to the stock location. Lift will be achieved with spacers on top of the front suspension sub-frame and rear axle spring pads. Suspension travel will remain in the stock position with the additional ground clearance the lift kit provides. Optional larger tires can be fitted to gain clearance under the front suspension and rear axle. Stay tuned for updates.
