Suspension & Wheel Upgrades for the 2024+ Ford Transit Custom

Everything You Need to Know

The new-generation Ford Transit Custom (2024+) comes with an updated 6-stud hub pattern and revised suspension geometry—meaning most older parts won’t fit. That includes wheels from previous models (pre-2023), so make sure you're choosing gear that’s specifically designed for this latest platform.

Here at Leighton Vans, we’ve got you covered with Cobra progressive lowering springs and a brand-new staggered wheel setup that delivers both form and function.

🔧 Suspension: Cobra Lowering Springs (2024+ Transit Custom)

Lower your van, level out your stance, and still ride in comfort. These progressive-rate springs are designed to keep things smooth when unloaded and firmer when you're carrying gear.

Drop Options Available:

  • 25mm Front / 50mm Rear – ideal for load-carrying setups

  • 40mm Front / 65mm Rear – for a lower, sportier appearance

Why Choose Cobra?

✔ Progressive-rate design = comfort & control
✔ Keeps factory safety systems intact
✔ Designed specifically for the 2024+ model
✔ Easy install: 2–4 hours at any workshop
✔ Made in Europe by Cobra (25+ years of suspension expertise)

What does 30–350 HA mean?

  • “HA” stands for Hinterachse (rear axle)

  • “30–350” is the ideal rear axle weight range (1300–1800kg)

So, these springs are built for medium-to-heavy-duty Transit Custom vans.

🛠 Quick Note on Rear Bump Stops

You’ll notice the factory bump stops have spacers that may cause contact after lowering.
We’ve made a quick video on YouTube to walk you through a simple fix:

  • Remove the factory bolt

  • Take out the large spacer

  • Replace it with a 50mm M10 bolt
    Done—clean clearance and no more knocking.

🛞 Wheels: NEW 20" Staggered Setup for Transit Custom 2023+

This staggered wheel package is designed specifically for the new 6x120 stud pattern on the 2023+ Transit Custom. Perfect fitment, no rubbing, and load-rated for peace of mind.
