Product Description
Overview: Suspension is the number one upgrade we recommend for both new and experienced van owners. It is one of those changes that immediately makes you wonder how you ever drove your van without it. With multiple King of Hammers and Baja 1000 wins on our team, we do not just sell suspension, we live it. For 4x4 and AWD vans only.
Why your van needs it
Unlike most vehicles, Sprinters leave the factory with suspension designed for an empty cargo van. Once converted into an adventure van, the added weight, especially over the rear axle, overloads the factory system. The result is collapsed leaf springs, reduced travel, and a van that is effectively riding on the bump stops. That means a harsh ride, poor control, and compromised safety.
One of the most noticeable side effects is the factory wind assist system triggering during crosswinds. When the suspension is out of its proper operating range, the van becomes unstable, often activating ABS in a way that feels abrupt and unsettling. Bringing the suspension back into its proper window solves this.
Introducing Owl Arrow Suspension
We have installed more Sprinter suspension systems than anyone, and that experience led to a simple conclusion. None of the existing options fully met our standards. So we built our own.
The Arrow Suspension was developed in partnership with Falcon, combining their shock engineering expertise with real world testing from our drivers and team. While many systems focus on external appearance, true performance comes from internal valving. That is where we invested the time. Months of testing, tuning, and refinement resulted in what we believe is the most balanced and capable Sprinter suspension available today.
Adjustable performance
On road and off road performance require very different characteristics. On pavement, you want control, feedback, and confidence. Off road, you need compliance, articulation, and traction.
The Arrow system features adjustable dampers that allow you to quickly tune the ride with a few clicks. From highway stability to dirt road comfort, the system adapts to how and where you drive.
Arrow Shocks - 4x adjustable Falcon piggyback reservoir aux dampers with three adjustment modes.
Optional Upgrade - Arrow Pro Struts upgrade the OEM shocks for even better performance. Massive 3" inverted tube struts are also adjustable, giving you even better control of all that front end weight
Deaver Springs
The foundation of any great suspension is the spring, and getting it right on a Sprinter is critical.
We partnered with Deaver Spring, the industry leader in leaf spring technology. Their springs are designed to operate in the correct load range for your van, restoring proper ride height, improving control, and dramatically enhancing comfort. It is the kind of difference you feel the moment you pull out of the driveway.
Like all Owl products, these are built in the USA. No shortcuts. No overseas components.
Upgrade: If you have a heavier build or simply want your entire spring system by Deaver, you can upgrade to two brand new leaf packs tuned to your vehicle's weight.
The result
The Arrow and Arrow Pro systems are the result of decades of off road experience combined with best in class components. The transformation is immediate. Improved ride quality, better control, and the confidence to keep going when the road ends.
This is not just a suspension upgrade. It is what turns your van into a mile hungry platform that keeps asking what is over the next hill.
** Some images may show optional equipment
The Arrow Trail kit utilizes front and rear fully adjustable piggyback Owl x Falcon custom-tuned Sprinter adjustable shocks.
Bracket components are powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance, with high-quality hardware.
Includes full pack for 3500.
Note: 170 EXT vans may require a full spring pack replacement due to the possibility of weight being distributed behind the rear axle.
Features & Benefits:
-
Tire & Ground Clearance
For customers who crave a higher stance and larger tires, for either function or aesthetics. Stock Sprinters have about 9" of clearance—enough for most, but not for every trail. With a 2" lift and 35" tires, our Trail Lifted kit delivers up to 14" of total clearance for those who go all-in when traveling off-road. -
Fully Adjustable Shocks
The Owl x Falcon shocks feature three adjustable settings, providing full control over your van in any environment. You can dial in the perfect ride for your adventure.1 - Full Soft: For off-road, rain, snow, or other inclement conditions.
2 - Adjustable: Adjust from full stiff to full soft. We prefer to keep our shocks on 4 or 5 for everyday driving around town.
3 - Full Stiff: Highway driving and trailering. This is ideal for long trips, especially those with wind.
