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.
