Product Details

Why we install the Standard RIP Kit

Once a Sprinter carries a full build, the factory suspension sways, bottoms out and floats. The Agile Standard RIP Kit for the 3500 4WD/AWD the entry point: FOX 2.0 rear shocks, custom leaf springs and a coil assist kit, and it's tuned to your van's weight rather than sold one-size-fits-all.

What's in the kit

  • FOX 2.0 rear shocks
  • Custom leaf springs (your rate)
  • Coil assist kit
  • Coil covers
  • Lift block kit

Picking your options

The leaf springs are built to your loaded rear axle weight, so weigh the van first. Reach out and we'll help you choose the spring rate and the rest of the options.

Before you start

  • Measure ride height front and rear first so you can see the change.
  • Weigh your rear axle loaded to confirm the spring rate.
  • Re-torque the suspension after the first miles and at service intervals.

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

2. How heavy is your build?

How to choose: Weigh your rear axle loaded and pick the spring rate that matches.

3. How much rough-road driving?

How to choose: Mostly pavement and graded dirt: the Standard kit covers it. Frequent washboard and trails: step up to FOX 2.5 shocks and front auxiliary shocks. Racing pace or full-time overland: look at the adjustable FOX kits.

4. Do you have factory rear A/C?

How to choose: Front auxiliary shocks don't fit with factory rear A/C, so pick a kit or option without them.
