Traditional leaf spring upgrades force owners to choose a specific spring rate or lift height based on estimated final weight, often requiring guesswork or last-minute changes once a build is complete. The Opti-Rate system eliminates that limitation entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"1229\"\u003eDesigned as a truly \u003cstrong data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"812\"\u003etunable, one-size-fits-all solution\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Opti-Rate spring pack allows you to adjust both spring rate and ride height without removing the springs from the van. Each pack uses a multi-stage approach consisting of a \u003cstrong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1014\"\u003eprimary main spring\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1048\"\u003ethree-leaf secondary stage\u003c\/strong\u003e, and our industry-first \u003cstrong data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1115\"\u003eAdjustable Preload Spacer (APS) system\u003c\/strong\u003e, which allows the secondary stage to be progressively engaged based on vehicle weight and performance preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003eUsing machined aluminum spacer blocks with stackable Delrin glide pads, the APS system preloads the secondary stage into the primary spring as needed. The result is a customizable suspension solution suitable for everything from empty passenger vans to fully built overland conversions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1610\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1610\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003eLight vans\u003c\/strong\u003e benefit from the softest, most compliant ride by running no APS preload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1717\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1717\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003eMid-weight vans\u003c\/strong\u003e can install the APS with a single pad for a firmer rate and increased ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003eHeavy vans\u003c\/strong\u003e or those seeking maximum support can stack two pads for the highest rate and maximum lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003eAdjustments can be made with the springs installed using simple hand tools, making this an ideal system for DIY builders, professional upfitters, or installers working with incomplete or evolving van builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2243\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2045\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vans equipped with a rear sway bar require extended rear sway bar links (available separately).
