For Transit owners chasing maximum clearance, serious articulation, and rock-solid stability, the WTD Trail Runner 5″ Suspension Lift Kit is the top-shelf upgrade. Built from the best of our Coastal Cruiser and Mojave designs, this system takes your RWD van beyond basic lifts—delivering true off-road performance, a wider stance, and room for bigger tires without killing ride quality.

Built for Performance

• True 5″ Suspension Lift – Real clearance without sacrificing handling.

• Fully Fabricated Lower Control Arms – Boxed arms with 7/8″ heim joints = 10″ of articulation and serious suspension travel.

• Factory Track Width Maintained – No narrowing up front; stability and ride quality stay intact.

• Billet Coil Lift/Camber Spacers – 2-piece 6061 aluminum keeps alignment precise and works with OEM or aftermarket shocks.

• Bigger Tire Fitment – Clears up to 275/70/17s for aggressive stance and traction (trimming required).

Technical Advantages

• Geometry stays correct—no ball joint stress, no sketchy handling.

• Lower ball joints must be replaced (factory or adjustable; WTD can pre-install).

• Optimized front width = improved on-road and off-road stability.

Fitment & Wheel Specs

• Transit RWD SRW – 17″ x 8″ | +45mm offset | 6.27″ backspacing

• Transit AWD SRW – 16″ x 6.5″ | +90mm offset | 7.29″ backspacing

• Transit DRW – Stock wheels recommended

• Optional: 3/16″ front wheel spacers prevent subframe rub at full lock with stock wheels.

Key Features

• 5″ of suspension lift for true off-road capability

• 10″ of articulation for improved travel and control

• Maintains factory track width for stability

• Powder-coated for durability in harsh conditions

• Designed and built in the USA

Notes

• Trimming Required – Bumper, pinch weld, and plastics must be cut for tire clearance.

• Wheel Spacers Recommended – 3/16″ spacers on the front help avoid subframe rub.

The Trail Runner isn’t just a lift—it’s a full suspension system designed to push your Transit further, keep it stable, and let you run the bigger tires your build deserves.

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.
