With the latest generation of compact transporters, Ford and VW have created technically identical twins: the Ford Transit Custom V710 and the VW New Transporter T7 share platform, technology, and dimensions. As the Tourneo Custom, Caravelle, or as the camping variant Ford Nugget, they are a modern answer to flexible mobility between everyday use and adventure. With the STREETEC 'offroad&camping' air suspension kit, you can unlock the full potential of this versatile vehicle base—and, at the same time, correct the factory “wedge stance” that many owners find distracting.

A new era of compact all-rounders

The Ford Nugget has established itself as a compact camper van with smart space utilization in manageable exterior dimensions. The AWD variant is especially attractive for adventurers who want to travel beyond paved roads. The VW T7 Transporter continues the utility-vehicle tradition and is frequently used for camper conversions. Both models stand out with modern technology, a comfortable interior, and compact proportions—perfect for city dwellers heading outdoors on the weekend. The air suspension turns these already versatile vehicles into true multi-talents.

Correct the wedge stance and refine the geometry

A well-known issue on the Transit Custom and T7 Transporter is the pronounced factory wedge stance: the rear sits noticeably higher than the front, which can look unbalanced and can affect driving behavior. With the STREETEC air suspension, you can fully compensate this stance and set a harmonious, balanced vehicle posture. The ride height of 450 mm at the front and 470 mm at the rear in the Offroad & Camping setup already shows a clear improvement over the stock setting (430 mm front / 475 mm rear). Geometry can also be tailored to your preferences—for a level stance or even a slight front drop.

Impressive adjustment range for every use case

The kit provides an adjustment range from 365 mm to 495 mm at the front and an impressive 385 mm to 575 mm at the rear (reference values: Ford Nugget AWD L2), measured from wheel center to fender edge. The substantial rear lift up to 575 mm opens up new possibilities: more ground clearance for demanding off-road sections, better ramp angles when exiting steep tracks, and extra protection against bottoming out on uneven terrain. The lowering function, in turn, makes loading easier, helps clear low garage entrances, and lowers the center of gravity for more stable motorway driving.

Optimized design for modern transporters

The system combines specifically calibrated McPherson struts on the front axle with a complete rear air-bellow system including matched dampers. The new dampers are precisely tuned to the dynamics of the air bellows and deliver harmonious response across all load conditions. The front air struts noticeably improve steering precision—especially important for these agile vans, equally at home in narrow old towns and on winding mountain roads. The system balances varying axle loads, which is crucial when switching between passenger transport and fully loaded camping operation.

Perfectly suited for AWD variants

The kit has also been developed for AWD versions such as the Ford Nugget with all-wheel drive. Variable ride-height adjustment compensates the additional mass of the AWD system and helps you make full use of its off-road potential. Whether on rocky alpine roads, sandy coastal tracks, or muddy forest trails, AWD combined with air suspension takes you significantly further. Level control also helps the AWD system work at its best by keeping the wheels evenly loaded.

Confident handling in every situation

Transit Custom and T7 Transporter are known for good handling even in stock form—air suspension and corrected geometry take that to the next level. By eliminating the wedge stance, weight distribution improves noticeably. The vehicle feels more stable in corners, shows reduced body movement during quick direction changes, and remains composed in crosswinds or when overtaking. The comfort gain is particularly noticeable on long motorway stages. Automatic leveling consistently maintains optimal suspension characteristics—whether you’re traveling solo or with family and full camping equipment.
