Description
xStrengthen the rear suspension of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the Baja Bracket Rear Shock Mount from Van Compass. Designed specifically for 2007+ Sprinter 2500 models, this heavy-duty reinforcement kit eliminates a known weak point in the factory rear suspension — the single-shear upper shock bolt.
Under demanding off-road use, washboard roads, and heavy loads, the factory upper shock mounting bolt can experience excessive cyclical stress. Over time, this can lead to bolt stretching, loosening, or failure at the chassis mounting point. The Baja Bracket solves this issue by capturing both sides of the upper shock bushing, eliminating the dangerous fulcrum effect that can cause bolt shear.
Precision laser-cut and CNC-formed from 3/16" steel, the bracket is fixture welded for strength and powder coated for long-term corrosion resistance. A machined tubular brace helps distribute shock loads safely into the frame rail, dramatically increasing durability in harsh driving conditions.
Compatible with stock or aftermarket shocks and designed to work on both factory-height and lifted vans, this reinforcement kit is a must-have upgrade for serious off-road, overland, and heavy-use Sprinter builds.
