Famvan, a Sprinter 170 AWD with an Agile Offroad RIP lift kit, on the beach

Van suspension and lift kits

Agile Off-Road, Van Compass and King suspension that makes a loaded camper van ride, handle and climb better, installed by the Beachside team in Atlantic Beach.

Suspension and lift kits at Beachside

A finished camper van carries a lot more weight than the factory suspension was tuned for. An upgraded suspension controls body roll on the highway, smooths out washboard roads and, with a lift, adds ground clearance for bigger tires.

Beachside installs Agile Off-Road kits from the STS kit on factory suspension up to the Standard, Premium and Pro RIP kits, Van Compass lift kits for Sprinter and Transit, Juggernaut USA suspension, King shocks and coilovers, and SumoSprings bump stops. The shop puts the same suspension on its own 2027 models.

What the shop installs

  • Agile Off-Road STS and RIP kits
  • Van Compass lift kits for Sprinter and Transit
  • King shocks and coilovers
  • Juggernaut USA suspension
  • SumoSprings bump stops

How an install is booked

Four steps from the first message to pickup.

  1. Ask for an estimate

    Tell the team your van's year, model and length and what you want installed. Photos help.

  2. Approve and order the parts

    If the estimate works for you, a deposit covers the materials and the shop orders the parts. Small jobs are usually booked about a month out.

  3. Install at the shop

    The in-house team that builds the 2027 models does the work at the shop in Atlantic Beach.

  4. Pickup and warranty

    Labor is billed when the job is done. The team walks you through the install, and the work carries a 1-year warranty.

Questions

Labor from $1,000. Agile STS kit $1,000. Agile RIP kits $1,500 to $3,000. Van Compass Stage 4.3 $2,500. Parts are quoted separately. Beachside sends an estimate before any work starts.

It depends on how you drive. For mostly highway miles with some dirt roads, a kit on the factory suspension is often enough. For regular off-road travel or bigger tires, a RIP kit or a lift makes more sense. The team will talk it through when it quotes the job.
