Good eye Andy
2" lift. Running custom valved Fox shocks up front in conjunction with the stock struts with Fox custom tuned adjustable Reservoirs in the rear and a new leaf pack.
I've blown out three front struts on two Sprinters over the last three years and said enough is enough. With this set-up, and running Cooper ST Maxx's in 255/85/16 @ 25 psi I can run washboards in comfort and the on road side the ride difference is night and day over factory set up.
How is your build going??

My Sprinter has become my daily driver with graphics advertising my business.😉 I did just install a U-line shelving unit. I've also insulated and installed windows and a fan.
We've decided to keep the Tundra/Hawk, and wait to build out the 2016 4x4 Sprinter for now. I'm running seven projects right now and don't have the time.
However, I'm interested in outsourcing expensive upgrades that can improve the ride. I'm still using stock factory Coopers for rubber. I know I'll want to upgrade suspension.
