Product Details

Why we install Agile suspension

We install Agile suspension at our San Diego shop. Once a Sprinter carries a full build, the factory suspension sways, bottoms out and floats. The Premium RIP Kit fixes that without turning the van into a rough-riding truck.

What's in the Premium kit

  • FOX 2.5 commercial rear shocks that hold up to the heat of a heavy van on long dirt roads
  • Bilstein B6 front struts for precise steering and stable braking
  • Front auxiliary shock kit that adds rebound control and cuts sway when you hit a dip
  • Custom leaf springs matched to your rear axle weight, with upgraded U-bolts
  • Coil assist kit, coil covers, brake line cover and wheel spacer kit

Picking a spring rate

The spring rate is matched to your rear axle weight. The 5400 lb package is the one we put on most Sprinters. If you carry more weight, go up to the 6000. Call us and we'll spec it with you.

Fitment & Compatibility

Fits: Mercedes Sprinter 2500 4WD/AWD, 2007+

The Premium RIP Kit is a professional-level install: the van comes off the ground on jack stands, the front struts come out, and the rear springs get swapped. Plan on 9 to 10 hours of shop time. Agile's installation guide covers each step.

Before you start

  • Measure ride height front and rear first so you can see the change.
  • The install requires trimming the plastic fender well liners.
  • Factory rear A/C: per Agile, the RIP Kit fits vans with factory rear A/C, but the auxiliary shocks and brackets can't be installed because they interfere with the rear A/C lines.

After install

Re-torque the suspension after the first miles and check it at service intervals. Ask our team for the torque specs.

Want us to install it? Reach out to our team at products@sandyvans.com or (619) 812-1903. We can often do same-week service.

Tools You'll Need

  • Floor jacks and jack stands
  • Torque wrench
  • Metric and SAE sockets and wrenches
  • T25 Torx and 3/16 in Allen drivers
  • Pry bar and dead-blow hammer
  • Panel clip tool
  • Anti-seize and thread locker

How to choose a suspension kit for your Sprinter

1. Which Sprinter do you have?

How to choose: Kits are specific to 2500 or 3500 and 2WD or 4WD/AWD. This kit is for the 2500 4WD/AWD.

2. How heavy is your build?

How to choose: Weigh your rear axle loaded. Pick the spring rate that matches. The 5400 lb rate is the most common on built Sprinters.

3. How much off-road driving?

How to choose: If you run washboard and dirt roads often, step up to commercial-grade rear shocks and front auxiliary shocks.

4. Do you have factory rear A/C?

How to choose: The kit fits, but the auxiliary shocks can't go on with factory rear A/C lines. Call us to plan around it.

Will it fit my Sprinter?
It fits the Sprinter 2500 4WD/AWD, 2007 and newer. Agile makes separate kits for 2WD and 3500 vans. Reach out to our team at products@sandyvans.com or (619) 812-1903 if you're not sure.
Which spring rate do I need?
It depends on your rear axle weight. The 5400 lb rate is the one we install most on built Sprinters; heavier builds go to 6000. Call us at (619) 812-1903 and we'll spec it with you.
Does it lift the van?
It's built for ride quality, not lift. Depending on load you may see 1 to 2 in of rear lift, and Agile offers a 4200 lb spring option with a 1 in lift.
I have factory rear A/C. Will it fit?
Per Agile, the RIP Kit fits, but the auxiliary shocks and brackets can't be installed because they interfere with the rear A/C lines.
