HARDWARE KIT
The WeldTec Designs Ford Transit AWD “Altitude” 2″ Suspension Lift Kit will give your van a completely new look. When it came to designing this kit, we knew we wanted more articulation from the lower control arms. In order to accomplish this, we designed a new lower control arm, which uses a 3/4 heim to allow for 10″ of articulation. This arm also give you 1.5 degrees of camber adjustment as well as increased caster capability in the heim joint. To correct the camber and achieve 2” of lift we designed a 2-piece 6061 billet aluminum shock spacer, which gives you the option to use your OEM shock or run an aftermarket one. Lastly, we all want bigger tires, which are great for the trails or highways. This kit allows you to run up to 265x70x16 tire (trimming is necessary to fit). The “Altitude” lift kit is the perfect addition for your Ford Transit build.
TECH NOTES:
With most lift kits you are changing the angle of the suspension like the lower control arm. As this arm is pushed down with the lift on the Ford Transit it is making the “track width” distance smaller. This change will create plunge in the axle at the new ride height with lift and increase with down travel or articulation. Due to the short axle on the passenger side it has a worse effects.
With the WeldTec Designs AWD lift kit includes a fabricated lower control arm and 2″ strut spacer. The benefit of the new WTD LCA is it maintains the same track width with the lift as OEM. This reduces the axle plunge at the new ride height and as the wheel travel up and down. This is how the CV axle bind is reduced on the WTD lift kit.
Tire sizes vary between manufactures and this kit does REQUIRE trimming the lower front bumper as well as the pinch weld and plastic on the door side. At full steering lock the wheel may rub the sub frame which can be eliminated by running a 3/16 thick wheel spacer.
