The Stage 6.3 system fills out the top tier of our Sprinter 4x4 suspension kits. This apex offering combines adjustability and adaptability, stability and compliance, clearance and performance. Our innovative Striker 2" lift kit includes all the necessary components to properly increase the ride height on your Sprinter. By paying careful attention to the shock tuning and preserving the original suspension geometry, we can deliver all the gains a lifted vehicle offers without any penalty to handling, stability or comfort. The added ride height allows room for larger tires, delivering a more aggressive stance, and improving overall ground clearance.
The cornerstone of this handling upgrade kit is the 4-corner, adjustable Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks with their huge range of compression adjustment available at the simple flip of a large, easily accessed Fast Adjust knob. This allows you to quickly adjust from the softest to firmest settings over a significantly larger range than the competition's smaller adjusters. A larger range of adjustment means the shocks are more effective and adaptable to multiple modes of use.
The Mini Leaf Spring pack offers a cost effective way to increase spring rate in the rear of your Sprinter, adds 2" of rear lift and restore lost ride height. Our mini spring is tuned to work perfectly with the OEM spring, maintaining factory wheel position and leaf spring geometry while restoring suspension up-travel on a heavy van. Included U-bolts ensure a quick and easy installation, and glide pads on the tips ensure quiet operation, just like your OEM springs.
Our progressive foam Bump Buddy replacement jounce bumpers replace your hard factory rubber bump stops, adding improved spring curve progression, reducing sway, and increasing bottom out resistance without any unnecessary clunking or harshness.

I was actually surprised that the stock Revel suspension was not horrible given the heft of the Winnebago build. It's actually decent for on highway driving in most conditions. However, in atypical situations, the stock suspension is lacking - offroad, windy conditions, and on uneven surfaces. This is where I found the upgraded suspension really shines. In addition to making day to day driving much more compliant, wind buffeting is significantly reduced, but off road is where it really shines. It really tames the gyrations from uneven, rocky, and steep surfaces greatly reducing the seesaw/rocking/jolting.
I opted, after much internal back and forth, to go with the 6.3 which includes the 2 inch lift. I was concerned that the lift would make the van less entry/exit friendly, but I, and my 5'2" wife are perfectly happy with the lift. Although the lift obviously does not change the height of the drive components including the rear differential, I do like having the carriage mounted equipment (liquid tanks, exhaust pipe, etc) a little more out of harms way.
I'm very pleased with the Stage 6.3 suspension and lift.
We've been anxious and finally got this lift kit installed. Currently working on a few Kinks. The ride and handling has improved tremendously. Also on rough and bumpy roads a huge difference in the smoothness of the ride. We're super impressed with the quality of the shocks and all the mounting hardware. Instructions are pretty straightforward and easy to follow. On the rear bump stop a C-clamp was used to compress and make it fit into the bracket easier. We would definitely recommend any of the Van Compass' has lift kits and look forward to install more in the future.
