RIP Agile Offroad Awesomeness

Hi Mates,

Picked up a 2008 E350 Quigley V10 cargo with 24k miles several weeks ago. Since then I had custom sliders installed and dropped off the rig to Agile two days ago for Ramsey's suspension transformation.

Fast forward to this morning, I went to pick up the rig and couldn't believe how nicer it drives. I can one hand around curves on freeway at 65 - 70 mph without body roll. Steering is more responsive and feels like the rig is planted to the ground better. I also like the fact that a height increase of 1 1/4" was achieved.

Haven't taken it in the dirt and wash boards yet, can't wait though.

Overall I am super satisfied and again thank you Ramsey.

It's a little stiffer on the ride because the van is empty. However, that will change relatively soon as I am taking it to SMB in 10 days for an electric PH top then to LA for an interior build out.

Also received two leather Sienna 2nd row seats to be installed on driver and front passenger side.

Build list is being put together.

Will post some pics soon.

Very excited!!! Cheers!!!

Only one I can find is https://www.blazinbelltech.com/furniture.html but it's not the same as what is in my van.

Re: RIP Agile Offroad Awesomeness

Any info on the sliders? Store bought? You make them? I like how wide they are.
I need to change mine to something like that.

Re: RIP Agile Offroad Awesomeness

Hey Scatter,

The sliders were fabricated by a buddy of mine in Los Angeles, he made several sets and I was lucky enough to get a set. They are out of aluminum, fully boxed. I like them a lot, the length edge lines up with bushwhacker fender flares.

If he does make more I will let u know.
