Titang9 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Greetings , I'm an auto technician (not Ford) . After 5 years and just 23,000 miles, my client is complaining about the rear end SAGGING (maybe front also) . It has a rear entry wheel chair with automatic lift installed . Any upgrade available ? 2013 Ford Transit XLT (VIN : NM0KS9CN8DT150258 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Your options are not going to be OEM. The weight of the lift has worn the OEM suspension. The aftermarket, and custom fabrication is where the solution will be found. Larger coil springs, heavy duty shocks, air bags, and custom mounts. Perhaps even fabricating a heavy crossmember between the structural subframe components to support the extra weight and provide mounting points for dampeners.

Fifty150 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It does not look like you have much room to work with. It looks like a little fabrication will allow for installing airbags. Air may be the best way to go. Air will support more weight, and give a better ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtn Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 You might want to get T220 Connect springs. The van model has significantly lower payload. Mine was 825 kg / 1818 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G B L Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If the TC you are working on is a Gen 1 it has leaf springs in the back . This kit for a Ranger could be adapted and would help the Sag. MN-282_59516 Air lift ford ranger.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titang9 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Thanks, is that the correct part number? I found this one: Part Number 59569 Edited August 31, 2018 by Titang9 Adding info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The setup I picked looked like it Could be adapted to your purpose. There is no direct listing for a Transit Connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
