@mikelaan61970 Excellent question. Here's our/VC's advice; --For 4WD...if you already have a front adj aux shock installed, then go with the non-adj (Monotube) Rally strut once you feel the need for more front end control and/or when your factory strut starts getting more miles on it (all depending on how much it's been abused of course). If you don't have any upgraded susp, then go with the adj Rally strut and probably no need for the front aux shock. Having both a front adj aux shock AND the adj Rally strut is too many adjustments for most to make good sense of. --For RWD, since they have no room up front for a front aux shock, and the van is loaded heavier, varies terrain between pavement and off-pavement, or drives in strong winds, then go with the front adj Rally strut. If little/none of the above, then the non-adj front Rally strut will still be worlds better than OEM or even the good Bilstein B6.
I have a 2018 sprinter 4x4 170 wheelbase. I don’t go hard-core off-road with it but I do want to get the bigger tires 18 inch and raise the backend a little bit because I think it’s sags. What do you suggest? I will put rhino rims on it as well.
Fantastic job I love your channel😊
Thx much!
Beefy. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes sir! :)
I’ve seen both the new strut and the VC shock on the front, is that shock no longer needed with this setup or is there an advantage to having both?

We can certainly help. We'd need more specific info from you; email jeremy@matrixintegrated.cc
So you could use the rally strut without an aux shock and be fine?
@Joe-nx7nj Yes for sure. And adjustable or non-adjustable Rally Strut would depend on your use case.
Does anyone have install instructions?
@geoffelsing1283 Instructions are on the VC product page.
$500? each side?
$1050 per side.
What’s the cost for shocks and install?
