As a vehicle approaches its GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), the rear suspension will naturally begin to sag and ride quality will begin to suffer. The Sprinter van is no different. Our 3-leaf Sprinter 4x4 mini leaf spring pack installs under the factory leaf springs and can increase ride height from 1" to 1.5" (25mm to 33mm) depending on the vehicle's weight distribution. The increase in spring rate gained by this leaf pack along with the additional clearance between the bumpstop and axle will reduce the chances of bottoming out enhance vehicle stability, ride comfort and restore the factory look of the van. This product is designed to improve ride and handling while at or near GVWR, however we do not recommend exceeding the manufacturer's GVWR.
*Compatible on 4wd vans that have a factory 2-leaf spring pack. Not compatible with the factory 'mono leaf' or the 3500 spring pack with a third 'overload' spring.


perfect
Adding these leafs brought the rear back up 2”. Mostly because it adds that thickness but it makes it more rigid. Took me 2 hours to install them. If you’re going to do this yourself you’ll need big jack stands and 2 jacks.
Well packed, easy install, great install instructions. I purchased a cheaper solution first and this is much higher quality addition that matches the OEM setup much better. Thanks VC!
We installed the Van Compass 3-leaf rear mini spring pack on our 2023 AWD Sprinter 2500 passenger van to correct rear sag. The van now sits higher in the back, looks much better, and drives great. We paired it with Agile 2.0 rear shocks. I’m very happy with the result.
Boxed/packed very well, Scott @ VC answered my questions well. Installed in advance of a buildout, 170 EXT. Installation was straightforward for two guys with the right tools, two floor jacks and TALL jackstands + three C-Clamps. Instructions were good. FYI, the OEM spring U-Bolt nut's are SUPER tight. Required a LONG breaker bar, with pipe extension to break loose, just FYI, not a VC fault. The spring centering U's (aiming up) 3/8 bolt spacer sleeves began to crush before the specified torque, so I stopped there. I would recommend sending with lock-nuts or Nylok. I'll likely replace the stock nuts with Nylok. You'll also see the round nylon wear pads between the new leafs are lubed, so I cleaned the lower/bottom side of the 2nd OEM spring where these new spring wear pucks will touch, and put a very light film of waterproof super-slick grease at that spot.
Empty weight (not built yet) ride felt very good, NO stiffer nor any increased freeway expansion strip or pothole jarring than stock. Crosswind lean felt much better. The true evaluation test will be after the buildout weight drive, so I cannot judge that yet. Overall, installed and peform as expected for an empty van that already had a bit of rear-end sag. Yes, it added height from the bottoming bumper to it's seat almost exactly as stated (1.25"), now the rear wheelwell "tire-fill" matches the front. Will follow up.
