### 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.

## Questions answered on this page

**How much does a suspension upgrade cost?**
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.

**Which suspension kit is right for my van?**
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.

**Will my van need an alignment?**
Yes. Any suspension change needs an alignment afterward, and the shop will tell you where to have it done.

**Which vans does the shop work on?**
Installs are done on any make of van, including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster. Full camper van builds are Sprinter only.

**Can I bring my own parts?**
No. Beachside supplies the parts for every install, from brands it is an authorized dealer or installer for.

**How far out is the shop booking, and is the work under warranty?**
Small jobs are usually booked about a month out. Every install carries a 1-year warranty.

**Where is the shop?**
At 1545 Main St #100, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233, just east of Jacksonville. Beachside works on vans from across Florida and Georgia, including St. Augustine, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale.
