Ford Transit AWD Lift Install

Follow
EXPLORIST life Mobile Marine & Off-Grid Electrical

In this video, we will be showing you how we installed a lift kit on our AWG Ford Transit Camper Van Conversion.

The suspension upgrade package that we went with is the Van Compass STAGE 4 TOPO 2.0 SYSTEM TRANSIT AWD which includes adjustable rear Falcon 3.3 SP2 shocks, with 2.0" of lift for improved ground clearance. The Topo Front Lift kit combines a precision engineered 0.75" lift camber correction plate, with a tuned coil spring while the rear lift is accomplished by a 5 leaf mini spring pack: https://vancompass.com/products/copy...

We also show how to install bigger tires and wheels on the camper van after we installed our lift kit. The video has been broken up into chapters for easy navigation.

Thank you again to Van Compass for sending us this kit! Now our van is ready for offroad adventures with the ground clearance we have gained from adding this lift kit to the van.
