Major Benefits:
-
Significantly increased load bearing surface area for long service life
- Damper shaft and seal surfaces are protected inside lower housing
- Much larger damping piston vs OEM
- Greater clamping force for alignment specs
- 10 position adjustable compression adjustment
The pinnacle of suspension performance is being shifted to a new apex with our new inverted front struts, co-developed with Falcon. Using proven damper technology from Falcon, along with our expertise in chassis tuning, the result is a truly phenomenal increase in damping performance, which translates to more stable and predictable handling, greater control across all conditions, and the ability to actually use the suspension to its full potential on and off road. Further, the struts ideal location near the wheel makes the 3.3 Fast Adjust compression adjustment even more effective.
Inverted dampers flip the idea of the conventional strut upside down, and use the damper body as the upper strut shaft, with the load bearing unit contained in a massive lower housing that connects to the steering knuckle. This is the same application of technologies you will find on Dakar and World Rally Championship cars, which see some of the harshest driving conditions imaginable.
Our proprietary 'Rate Cup' retains the OEM strut bushing for easy installation and retention of OEM NVH characteristics by preloading the bushing for tighter road feel. This dispersing the damping forces over the entire surface area of the bushing to prevent annoying clunks and premature bushing wear common with competing solutions.

LABOR TIMES
Recommended Shop Labor Time: 1.5 Hour
I had the same 4x4 shop that installed my VC 4.3 three + years ago install the Rally Struts for me. I am as impressed with the improvement both on and off road with the new struts as I was with the 4.3 install. I highly recommend these, if you're on the fence and can afford them you will not be disappointed. High wind, fast sweeping curved pavement, washboard forestry roads and uneven curbs on parking lot entries are all vastly improved with the Rally Struts. I followed VC's advice and had the OEM upper bushing mounts replaced at the same time since my van has just over 50k miles on it. We were not prepared with the older shock mounts and the shop had to cut some material to allow the struts to fit.
With these Rally Struts, you take what was already a great suspension system with VC 4.3 and make an 8000+ lbs Sprinter van even more capable. I feel way more confidant around turns and corners, and so much fun to drive, even on highway roads. Van Compass knocked it out of the park with this piece of tech!
