Wow I didn’t open the link. My bad. Are you able to fit that in the spring without pulling the strut?

 

[trhoppe]

Nope, I did it at the same time as I put the Konis on.

Couple more spring and spacer options... http://www.promasterforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79041

Was this option discussed already?

That looks like a great option to replace the OEM struts with...

Here’s the link. They might be expensive, and I’m not sure how much lift it provides. I was looking at independent rear air suspension and noticed the aftermarket strut assembly, which reminded me of this thread.

Sounds nice, but I found this info that states, in the last line, it has no lift in the front.



The ACS front axle suspension for vans consists of an optimised high-performance shock absorber surrounded by a matching coil spring. Unlike vehicles without ACS, the increased suspension comfort can be felt right from the outset – especially given the many grooves and cross joints in the roads and other poor surface conditions. The stand height of the front axle remains the same as with the original suspension strut.

This reference mentions 40 MM as amount of front lift, which is just over 1-1/2”.

I’m not trying to promote this option — not personally interested in it beyond technical curiosity. And it may not even fit ProMasters. Just thought some of you may want to research it a bit more. One thing I like is the claim of added wheel travel. From technical standpoint, I’m also interested in how they increase front axle weight capacity.

Crazy. I didn't see that. I would like to know what they cost. I like this option a lot more than a spacer. I tried to find out info on the VB Air System front coil spring only, which will give an increase in height, but after contacting a few distributers, only 1 returned a message, and all I got was the full sales pitch for the entire system at over $7000. Thanks for the info.

I like this option best! I don't see why they would not fit the Promaster, I don't think the front suspension differs any from the Ducato.

 

[Chance]

When ProMaster was first introduced, there were claims that the suspension had been beefed-up for American roads and drivers. At the time, I believe the PM’s maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating was increased compared to Ducato. Brakes may have been upgraded also. We can see from pictures that PM rear suspension rides higher than Ducato when empty.

Anyway, while it’s likely that these longer struts are completely interchangeable, it’s not a given that they are. I would ask — AL-KO should know.

I do not know if they have tried the subject but here in Spain there is this solution that maintains the characteristics of the spring and the shock absorber raising the front part in 4 centimeters.

You can also find them in Amazon up to a height of 3 centimeters.

Our 4wd van prepared by Dangel comes with a 2cm spacers like the ones in the link.
It can be said that it is a model previous to yours.
we have mounted springs 2 inches longer and hard along with a bf allterrain tires in size 225775716 and we have gained free height to be able to circulate through more complicated tracks

In Spain we use this kit to elevate the front:

We can make those. Can't wait to get our Promaster here so we can get at it with the mods.

Front struts spacers 40mm

Those 40mm front strut spacer are going in Wednesday morning of this week. Made
the appointment almost a month ago. The 4x4 off road shop doing the install is always
3-4 weeks behind doing lifts for jeeps and pickup trucks.

Here are a few lifted Promasters using our 1.5" front kit.

A matching rear 1.5" kit is about 8 weeks out.


Everyone loves pictures.

Vancompass, what are the tires on the black Promaster pictured above.
I need new tires by end of November and am trying to find tires with the strongest sidewalls possible.
