Upgrading your Mercedes Sprinter with tuned shock absorbers is one of the most impactful investments you can make to dramatically improve ride comfort and vehicle control. Factory shock absorbers often fall short when challenged by diverse driving conditions. Falcon Shocks represent a significant leap forward in intelligent shock design. Engineered to our precise specifications and tuning, these 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks incorporate years of expertise in custom and modified vehicle dynamics, bringing unparalleled levels of comfort, stability, and handling to your adventure van or RV. Experience superior damping that effectively minimizes sway caused by wind and uneven road surfaces, while expertly managing both large impacts and minor vibrations far more effectively than your stock shocks.
Key Benefits of Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks for Mercedes Sprinter
- Enhanced Ride Comfort: Featuring 10 distinct compression damping settings adjustable via the 3.3 fast adjust knob, these shocks allow you to fine-tune your ride for optimal comfort, whether you’re navigating rough city streets or cruising on the highway.
- Superior Vehicle Control: Gain confidence and command behind the wheel. Falcon shocks deliver enhanced control, ensuring your Sprinter responds predictably and stably in various driving scenarios.
- Improved Cornering Stability: Experience noticeably reduced body roll and enhanced stability when cornering. These shocks provide the support needed for confident maneuvering, especially in top-heavy vans like the Sprinter.
- Minimized Sway and Wind Buffeting: Side winds and uneven road surfaces are no longer a major concern. Falcon shocks effectively reduce sway and wind buffeting, leading to a more relaxed and stable driving experience.
- Effective Bump Management: From large potholes to small road imperfections, these shocks are designed to handle them all. They offer superior control over both large and small bumps, providing a smoother and more composed ride compared to factory shocks.
- Customizable Tune Profiles: The internal SP2 free bleed adjustment offers two distinct tune profiles within one shock. This allows for a customized setup based on your Sprinter’s weight and your personal driving preferences, ensuring optimal performance in various load conditions.
- Direct Bolt-On Installation: Designed for ease of installation, these shocks are 100% bolt-on replacements for your factory units. Basic tools are all you need to upgrade your Sprinter’s suspension.
Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks: Technical Features
- Robust 2.3″ Aluminum Body: The substantial 2.3″ aluminum shock body effectively dissipates heat, preventing performance fade during demanding use and ensuring long-term corrosion resistance.
- Oversized 2″ Damper Piston: Featuring a full 2″ damper piston, a 238% increase over stock, these shocks provide significantly enhanced damping force and responsiveness, crucial for controlling a heavier vehicle like the Sprinter.
- Heavy-Duty 3/4″ Hard Chrome Shaft: The robust 3/4″ diameter hard chromed shaft is engineered to withstand impacts and resist corrosion, ensuring durability and reliable performance in all conditions.
- High-Pressure Nitrogen Charge: A high-pressure nitrogen charge within the shocks prevents cavitation (the formation of air bubbles in the oil), ensuring consistent, fade-free damping performance even under strenuous conditions.
The user-friendly red 3.3 fast adjust knob offers an industry-leading range of adjustment, allowing for quick and intuitive compression tuning even after installation. Position 1 provides the softest setting, ideal for maximizing comfort on washboard roads or rough urban streets. Position 2 offers a mid-range setting with 8 micro-adjustments, perfect for fine-tuning your Sprinter’s ride and handling characteristics for everyday driving. Position 3 delivers the firmest setting, best suited for carrying heavy loads or when driving conditions demand maximum control. The SP2 mode adjust feature, an internal bypass port, is configured during installation. By closing off this port, the shock’s rebound and compression characteristics are significantly altered, effectively providing two distinct performance profiles within a single shock. This setting is selected during installation based on your vehicle’s weight and desired ride quality. Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust Shocks are manufactured as dedicated left and right pairs, and the conveniently positioned 3.3 fast adjust knob is designed for easy access and adjustment.
