Major Benefits:
- Larger load-bearing surface for long service life
- Shaft and seal surfaces protected inside lower housing
- Oversized damping piston vs OEM
- 10-position compression adjustment
Co-developed with Falcon, these inverted front struts combine Falcon's proven damper technology with our chassis tuning expertise for dramatically improved damping performance — delivering more stable, predictable handling and full suspension capability on and off road. The strut's wheel-proximate location also maximizes effectiveness of the 3.3 Fast Adjust compression adjustment.
Inverted dampers use the damper body as the upper strut shaft, with load-bearing components housed in a massive lower housing at the steering knuckle — the same technology found on Dakar and WRC cars built for the world's harshest conditions.
Our proprietary 'Rate Cup' retains the OEM strut bushing for easy installation and OEM-matched NVH characteristics, distributing damping forces across the full bushing surface to eliminate clunks and premature wear common in competing solutions.

I started out with the Falcon 3.3 suspension kit with front, rear shocks and added rear leaf springs. That was a great improvement. I just had the Falcon rally struts installed and it finished the job. I can now drive through windy conditions without it feeling like I can’t take my eyes off the road for one second. I still feel the wind, but it is much, much easier to navigate. Thanks, VanCompass! This is the icing on the cake!
True performance struts, easily adjustable, mated them with FRONT SHOCK KIT - FALCON 3.3 FAST ADJUST - SPRINTER 4x4, and my sprinter StoryTeller Stealth is handling like a Cadillac, tamping out the bumps and sways. These struts truly are the king of suspension.
I had the same 4x4 shop that installed my VC 4.3 three + years ago install the Rally Struts for me. I am as impressed with the improvement both on and off road with the new struts as I was with the 4.3 install. I highly recommend these, if you're on the fence and can afford them you will not be disappointed. High wind, fast sweeping curved pavement, washboard forestry roads and uneven curbs on parking lot entries are all vastly improved with the Rally Struts. I followed VC's advice and had the OEM upper bushing mounts replaced at the same time since my van has just over 50k miles on it. We were not prepared with the older shock mounts and the shop had to cut some material to allow the struts to fit.
With these Rally Struts, you take what was already a great suspension system with VC 4.3 and make an 8000+ lbs Sprinter van even more capable. I feel way more confidant around turns and corners, and so much fun to drive, even on highway roads. Van Compass knocked it out of the park with this piece of tech!
