Mercedes Sprinter 5t Twin Rear Wheel Semi-Air Suspension Kit

SKU: AKS2073Y
 
The 5 tonne Mercedes Sprinter is identifiable by its twin rear wheels — a configuration that signals heavier duty commercial use and greater payload capacity. Under load, the standard rear suspension on these variants compromises vehicle attitude, reduces stability and creates challenges with ramp angles and loading approaches. On Air Suspension's semi-air kit for the Sprinter 5t twin rear wheel provides on-demand rear height control and load levelling specifically for this platform.
 
How It Works
 
The semi-air system works alongside the Sprinter's original rear suspension — SABO / On Air air springs are added to assist the existing setup rather than replacing it. Original suspension components are fully retained. You gain precise, adjustable control over rear ride height and load management without affecting chassis integrity.
 
At the 5t GVW rating, the variation between unladen and laden ride height is more pronounced than on lighter Sprinter variants — making effective load management particularly valuable for operators running vehicles at or near capacity.
 
Benefits
 
Load levelling — air springs compensate for increasing payload, maintaining consistent vehicle attitude across the full legal load range
Increased roll stiffness — greater lateral stability under load, important for taller body configurations common on heavier Sprinter variants
Rear height control — raise or lower the rear on demand to manage loading dock approaches, ramp angles, ferry embarkation and steep access points
Improved ride comfort — air springs absorb road shock and vibration more effectively than standard steel springs under load
Reversible installation — original suspension components retained, nothing permanently modified

Designed and Built in the UK
 
Every On Air Suspension kit begins on our CAD systems. Our in-house engineering team designs each solution from scratch, prototypes using advanced 3D printing, and validates through physical installation and testing at our Ongar, Essex workshop. We don't fit other people's kits — we build our own.
