The all-new Ford Transit 5” Suspension Lift Kit “Trail Runner” is here!
The WeldTec Designs Ford Transit RWD “Trail Runner” 5″ is the pinnacle of suspension improvements for your van. This suspension maximizes ground clearance while increasing stability with a wider front track width. For this kit we combined the COASTAL CRUISER and the 3″ lift spindle from the MOJAVE lift kits.
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 7/8 heim to allows for 10″ of articulation. This boxed lower arm also keeps the factory track width, unlike other kits which narrow it by using OEM modified arms. To correct the camber and achieve 5” 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 275x70x17 tire (trimming is necessary to fit). The “Trail Runner” lift kit is the perfect addition for your Ford Transit build.

TECH NOTES:
This kit does require you to change your lower ball joints with the new spindle. For this you can choose to have WTD install factory ball joints or adjustable ball joints. If you would like your ball joints installed with your kit they will need to be added to your cart.
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.
