Sprinter Suspension Package A and B for 3500 and 2500 Feedback - Reviews
"Mark, Just writing to thank you for all of your help and guidance on how to handle the suspension 'rocking' issue on my new Navion RV. I purchased the suspension Package A for 3500 series. Let me tell you, it's a night and day difference that I would recommend to anyone who owns one of these vehicles. You'll wonder how you drove without it. I went from feeling like I'm driving an old stage coach to a sports car and the ride is no harder than factory. Thanks again, Rob"
"The Koni struts and shocks I purchased from you did wonders for the crosswind handling" - 2015 Interstate 3500 - Dave in Indiana. (Vehicle also has SumosSprings in all 4 corners.)
"WHAT A TRANSFORMATION!!! The new sway bar and rear shocks make it feel like a completely different vehicle. Where I used to "gingerly" take curves and creep out of driveways now I can drive with confidence. I think I should have opted for the front shocks too since the rear now finally feels stable but the front while fine does not feel as tight as the rear suspension. However I think I will get the Sumo Springs mounted first before adding Konis on the front.
I want to tell you that you have a great product package and service. Thanks much for your assistance. The little RV feels like a completely different van now."
"I am a "true car guy".....I have 8 Italian sports cars. I understand suspension dynamics and how it affects handling. Your package made a significant improvement to the Sprinter handling giving me more confidence when driving the curvy mountain roads in NC. My passengers also benefited from the better ride in the rear when we tailgated to the NCAA National Championship game in Tampa a couple of weeks ago. I should have found you years ago when I bought the van!! " Steve - 2011 3500 Pleasure Way Package B
"Mark, Picked the Ascent up yesterday with the new and improved suspension system. Made the drive from Va Beach to the OBX in fairly gusty cross winds and noticed a wonderful change. The coach no longer wanders/floats down the road and even the strongest gusts did not make driving uncomfortable. Handling through exit/on ramps was also much better. Thanks again for your assistance in getting the proper parts to me." Rob - 2017 Ascent - Sprinter 2500 Package A with front Sumos and rear steel SuperSprings
"Had the kit installed and just drove the Itasca Reyo. Completely different ride. No more sway. Drives like a car." John in NY - 2011 Reyo Class A on Sprinter 3500 chassis - Suspension Upgrade Package A
"I want to let you know I finally was able to get my suspension package installed. I cannot believe the difference in the ride and handling. I have taken it on a 350 mile trip and will soon be leaving for a 2,000 mile trip and am anxious to get it on the road for a longer trip. So far, everything is better and I am really enjoying the added comfort along with my van not rattling to pieces with every bump and crack in the road. The side to side swaying reduction is a whole new experience. I had no idea how bad it was until now when I can actually feel the difference. It was a huge improvement and thank you for working with me to get it right. Your help is much appreciated." Matt in CO - 2006 Sprinter 2500 158" - Suspension Upgrade Package A - 3-1-2019
"Hey Mark, Just installed the whole package, wanted to say thank you for your help and the much improved ride! Heading out on a road trip shortly, can't wait!! Thank again Steve" NCV3 2007 to 2018 Sprinter 3500 - Suspension Upgrade Package B - 3/14/19
"Just wanted to circle back to let you know MB of Plano, TX did a great job installing your suspension package, and the ride in our coach is great! Hope you had a good holiday break – wishing you all the best for a happy new year 2021!" Bernd in TX - 2019 to 2020 3500 2wd - Suspension Upgrade Package A

"Got the Sprinter Upgrade Kit for my Sprinter 3500. This is a Tiffin Class C RV. WOW what a difference this made on the handling and ride. 70mph was a dream and now it is normal. The ride, oh wow what a nice ride now and bumps are not as exciting as before. Great product!" Webster in SC - 2007-2018 Class C - Suspension Upgrade Package A with front Sumos

"The suspension upgrade really makes a difference. Glad I purchased it, thanks. Cornering has much less roll and the bounce over bumps is eliminated." Tom in TX - 2019 to 2020 3500 - Suspension Upgrade Package B - 8-17-2020
"I received the sway bar on Monday, and installed it yesterday. I already had the rear shocks and Sumo Springs installed. It was all really easy to do myself. I couldn’t believe the difference when I took it for a test drive around the neighborhood, and I can’t wait to get it out on the road again. I also shared the info with my neighbor, who will likely be getting a kit for his Sprinter as well. I was really pleased that it didn’t change the ride comfort and smoothness, but provided a lot more stability and control." Tim in NM - 2019 up 3500 - Suspension Upgrade Package B - 4-13-2021
"Mark, I can't thank you enough. The B package components are now installed and it improved the ride by 100%. I have owned two diesel pushers before this sprinter, and one was equipped with an air ride system. The ride with the upgraded package rides better than the air ride. My sprinter no longer feels top heavy and it holds the road better. It does not have that "tender" feel on the open road when traveling in heavy big truck traffic at higher speeds. Thanks again" Roy in FL - 2019 up 3500 Sprinter - Suspension Upgrade Package B - 6-2-21

Over the years I have sold hundreds of sway bars for trucks and Sprinters. I have never had a Sprinter customer call me back with anything other than great things to say about adding a beefier sway bar.

Article on how to determine the correct year of your Sprinter or Sprinter bases RV Chassis
There are basically three models of Sprinter on the road in the US at this time. The early year model 2002 to 2006; the mid model from 2007 to 2018 and the the newest model or late model 2019 and up. Some RV's built in 2007, 2008 and 2009 were built on the early model 2006 chassis. You may also see this with the 2019 model RV's being built on a 2018 Chassis.
