Improve the ride quality and stance of your Ford Transit RWD with the Stage 3 Topo 2.0 package. This tuned suspension system will dramatically improve your ride quality and our Topo kit was developed specifically to work around the packaging and front CV shaft constraints presented by the 2020+ AWD Transit platform.
Our Topo 2" lift kit includes a precision engineered 0.75" lift camber correction plate, with a tuned coil spring. By engineering the spring length and rate to our specifications we gain 1.25" of lift, with a corresponding increase in compression travel. A 5 leaf mini pack works in conjunction with the factory leaf pack to provide a 10-15% spring rate increase in the rear while lifting the back of the van anywhere from 2.0" to 2.5" depending on vehicle weight. Friction reducing tips on our leaves ensure a smooth, quiet ride. Included rear shock relocation brackets allow for the low hanging factory brackets to be trimmed, resulting in better overall ground clearance under the axle tube.
Falcon 2.1 Monotube Shocks dramatically improve handling. With superior construction and a larger, more effective damper piston, these shocks will completely change the driving dynamic of your van. A more effective damper reduces leaning in corners, violent swaying, and smooths out jarring impacts.
(Bilstein B6 strut are not included with AWD systems, their added length can cause CV boot failure)

The Stage 3 Topo 2.0 looks and more importantly drives great on my '23 Transit awd. The install was smooth, only thing I would add to the install process is to pull the interior dash panels to access the top of the struts ( I used the explorist life video as a guide with the paper guide). That sped the process up a bunch. Total install time was about 3-1/2 hours for the front end.
We installed multiple VC products on our 2020 T350 AWD simultaneously, so this is a bit of a combined review. Everything was top notch with excellent instructions. The 2" front lift, 1000lb Sumo Springs, Shock Bracket shortening kit, leaf springs, and 1/2" drop shackles went in nearly flawlessly in our driveway with hand tools. 245/70R16 BFG All-Terrain K02 tires with stock wheels and the VC 3/16" front spacers fit perfectly with no rubbing lock-to-lock.
The overall ride is equal to or better than stock (my wife says the same, I think it's improved especially on rough roads). As a note, I installed 3 of 5 leaves of the spring pack and used the drop shackles to achieve a balance in ride quality. We now have 11.5" of front ground clearance under our VC skid plate!
I highly recommend all of the VC products we used on our van. Awesome sales interaction and exceptional quality.
