    Really appreciate your videos Levi. I have the same system on my 2017 Sprinter and it's hands down the best upgrade we did to our van, and we did a lot with our conversion! Thank you for making this video. I agree with you that it was the upgrade I wish I had done much earlier.

    Cool van. I installed the V.C. 2.5" lift on my 2015 3.2 liter HR Transit. Installed 265/75R16 Trail Country EXPs on 16x8 Black Rhino Wheels. The van rides great. The V.C. lift is top notch. The weld beads on the brackets give me a stiffy.

    Levi, this is awesome. Been dreaming of doing the same conversion on my T1n. Do you have any added concern for roll over? Also have you considered or talked with anyone about adding spacers to widen the stance? Would maybe add stability on turns and lower roll over potential, or is that bad stress on the axels? Thanks! And stay healthy!

    • @Levi_Allen

      My new rims add a slight offset. I wouldn’t want it to be more. I’m not worried at all about filing over because of the lift. If I am actually gonna tip I don’t think that 2” higher would be the difference maker to be honest.
