Ford Class B RV and Ford Transit Suspension Upgrades
Ford Transit vans have become one of the most popular platforms for Class B motorhomes, camper vans, and adventure builds. Once a van is converted into an RV, however, the added weight from cabinetry, water tanks, batteries, appliances, storage, passengers, and gear can significantly change how the vehicle rides and handles.
WeldTec Designs develops suspension upgrades specifically for these heavier, fully built applications.
Rather than treating a camper van like an empty cargo van, our suspension solutions are designed around the way Class B RV owners actually use their vehicles.
Improve Ride Quality and Handling
A fully loaded Class B RV can experience increased body movement, suspension compression, steering correction, and reduced ground clearance.
Upgrading the suspension can help improve:
Highway stability
Body control
Steering response
Suspension travel
Ground clearance
Tire clearance
Ride control on uneven roads
Confidence when carrying additional RV weight
The goal is not simply to make the vehicle taller. A properly designed suspension system should improve the way the entire vehicle behaves.
Ford Transit Class B RV Lift Kits
Adding ground clearance can dramatically improve the versatility of a Ford Transit camper van or Class B motorhome.
A properly engineered lift system can provide additional clearance for:
Larger tires
Uneven campsites
Forest roads
Driveway transitions
Low-mounted RV components
Rough or unmaintained roads
WeldTec Designs Ford Transit suspension systems are engineered with suspension geometry, alignment, drivability, and real-world RV use in mind.
Performance Shock Upgrades
Shock absorbers play a major role in controlling the additional mass of a fully equipped Class B motorhome.
Upgraded performance shocks can help reduce excessive bouncing and improve control over:
Expansion joints
Highway dips
Uneven pavement
Rough roads
Loaded vehicle conditions
WeldTec Designs offers performance-oriented suspension components designed to work together as a complete system rather than relying on a single component to correct multiple handling issues.
Built for Camper Vans and Class B Motorhomes
No two Class B RVs weigh exactly the same.
Vehicle configuration can vary based on:
RV manufacturer
Floorplan
Battery systems
Water capacity
Storage layout
Roof accessories
Interior build
Tire size
Added aftermarket equipment
These differences can have a major effect on suspension performance.
WeldTec Designs develops and tests products around real-world camper van and motorhome applications so owners can build a suspension system suited to the vehicle's actual use.
