🏔️ Conquer Any Trail: Agile Off Road RIP Kit Suspension Installation in San Diego
September 25, 2026
📋 Key Takeaways
📋 Key Takeaways
- The Ultimate Fix: The Agile Off Road 2.5 Performance Elite RIP Kit is universally recognized as the best suspension upgrade to cure the heavy, swaying, and bottoming-out characteristics of a built Sprinter van.
- Fox Racing Pedigree: Features massive, custom-tuned FOX 2.5-inch shocks with external reservoirs for unmatched thermal capacity and off-road damping.
- True Lift & Level: Heavy-duty rear leaf springs and front coil-overs provide a true 2-inch lift, restoring ground clearance lost to the weight of your camper build.
- Authorized Facility: Sprinter Van Solutions is a premier supplier and professional installation facility for all Agile Off Road components right here in San Diego.
You’ve invested thousands into a beautiful 4x4 or AWD Mercedes Sprinter camper build, but the moment you pull out of your driveway, it drives like a top-heavy boat. You hit a small dip on the 5 Freeway and the rear end violently slams into the bump stops. You take it out to Anza-Borrego, and the side-to-side sway makes you feel like the van is going to tip over.
The factory Mercedes-Benz suspension was simply not designed to carry a permanent, 9,000-pound camper load over rough terrain. If you want your rig to drive like a luxury off-road vehicle, you need the Agile Off Road 2.5 Performance Elite RIP (Ride Improvement Package) Kit. At Sprinter Van Solutions, we don't just recommend this kit—we are a dedicated supplier and expert installation facility for it in San Diego.
What is the Agile Off Road RIP Kit for Sprinters?
The Agile Off Road RIP Kit is a comprehensive suspension overhaul designed specifically for heavy Mercedes Sprinter vans. It replaces the weak factory shocks and leaf springs with custom-tuned FOX 2.5-inch reservoir shocks, heavy-duty rear leaf packs, and upgraded front coil-overs to completely eliminate highway sway, prevent bottoming out, and increase ground clearance.
This is not a generic "lift kit." Every single shock is custom-valved by Agile based on the exact permanent weight of your specific van build.

The Game-Changing Benefits of the 2.5 Performance Elite Kit
When we install this kit on a 2019–2026 Sprinter 2500 4WD or the new AWD chassis, the transformation is immediate and dramatic. Here is why the Agile RIP kit is the absolute gold standard for VanLife suspension:
- Massive Damping Power (FOX 2.5 Shocks)The factory shocks are tiny and overheat rapidly under the immense weight of a camper van. The FOX 2.5-inch shock bodies hold significantly more hydraulic fluid. Paired with remote aluminum reservoirs, these shocks dissipate heat incredibly fast. This prevents "shock fade," allowing you to drive over miles of punishing desert washboards without losing damping performance.True Load-Bearing Leaf SpringsAdding heavy blocks to stock leaf springs is a terrible idea. The RIP kit includes entirely new, heavy-duty rear leaf spring packs engineered to carry the permanent weight of your bed, water tanks, and cabinetry. This perfectly levels the van, restores your lost suspension travel, and ensures you never violently slam into your bump stops again.Front Coil-Over ConversionWe remove the anemic factory front struts and replace them with massive FOX coil-overs. This drastically stiffens the front end, eliminating the terrifying "nose dive" when braking hard and stopping the extreme lateral body roll when taking mountain corners up to Julian.
Our Professional Installation Process
Installing a complete suspension system with external reservoirs and heavy leaf springs requires precision and heavy-duty equipment. We are an authorized installation facility because we do it right:Weight Diagnostic:Before ordering or installing, we assess your van's actual payload. The FOX shocks are custom-valved by Agile specifically for your rig's weight (e.g., 7,500 lbs vs. 9,000 lbs).Teardown:We safely hoist your Sprinter on our heavy-duty commercial lifts, extract the factory leaf springs, and remove the OEM front struts.Hardware Mounting:We install the new heavy-duty leaf springs and route the FOX remote reservoirs to safe, protected locations inside the wheel wells using precision-machined aluminum brackets.Torque & Alignment:Every single suspension bolt is torqued exactly to Mercedes-Benz factory specifications while the van's weight is resting on the ground. Finally, we perform a strict laser wheel alignment to accommodate the new 2-inch lift.

The Agile Off Road 2.5 Performance Elite RIP Kit is fully compatible with the new 2023–2026 Mercedes Sprinter AWD chassis, as well as the older 2019-2022 4x4 models. We source the exact correct hardware for your specific drivetrain.No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, installing bolt-on aftermarket suspension components does not void your overarching vehicle warranty, as you are not altering the engine, emissions, or powertrain control systems.External reservoirs provide extra capacity for hydraulic oil and pressurized nitrogen gas. This allows the shock to dissipate heat much faster than a standard shock, preventing the oil from boiling (cavitation) during hours of heavy off-road driving.Absolutely. Because the RIP kit lifts the van approximately 2 inches and replaces the front struts, your factory camber, caster, and toe geometry will be drastically altered. We perform a mandatory precision wheel alignment after every installation to prevent rapid tire wear.
