Yeah, we're a little obsessed—but that's because we actually live and build these rigs ourselves, and we know how frustrating it is to have an install ground to a halt by hidden factory components. We stock this specialized Vanspeed curved support bracket because it solves a massive structural bottleneck for vans loaded with dual-climate creature comforts. It provides a clean, precision-cleared structural anchor point around complex factory floor configurations so your running boards mount flawlessly without hitting a dead end. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/41qxd6.share-na2.hsforms.com\/29bufDkHjQ5aTe0D_9wWVQA\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAsk Us Product Questions Anytime\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e if you aren't 100% sure about your under-chassis equipment layout before you buy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWCV EXPERT TIP:\u003c\/b\u003e Under-chassis space is premium real estate on highly optioned builds. When you are looking down at your passenger-side frame rail to install running boards, standard straight support brackets expect a completely clear, empty channel. However, if your van rolled off the assembly line with both rear climate control packages, that straight steel path is blocked. Pro Tip: Do not attempt to force, shim, or bend standard brackets to clear these vital auxiliary components. Dropping in this custom-curved support bracket allows the step hardware to arc cleanly over the lines, preserving your chassis systems while maintaining a rigid, rock-solid step connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Vanspeed Curved Tube Support Bracket is a vehicle-specific hardware component engineered explicitly for the modern Sprinter platform. Developed to resolve severe mechanical mounting conflicts under highly optioned conversion rigs and luxury passenger vans, this high-strength bracket replaces standard straight frame braces.
