Bilstein 24-177702 Shocks
Got mine on EBAy - $208.88 for the pair with free shipping (vendor's store is called "neverenoughauto").
Most of the ads say the 24-177702 part fits earlier Sprinter models. Mine is a 2014 3500 chassis so I called Bilstein directly. They affirmed this part number is also correct for the 2014.
You will be amazed by how well the Bilsteins perform compared to the OEM parts.

Bought my Sumo Springs from SDTruckSprings.com with free shipping for under $300(F&R...) and I know they also carry the Bilsteins for the Sprinter 3500's. Almost all of their sales include free shipping and they deliver fast! Check here before deciding, even on eBay! They specialize on suspension parts. Good luck!

It also fits the 2014 chassis. Not sure about 2015.

Are you sure you are on a 2015 chassis?

That is the correct part number (7254). I just installed one last week on our 2016 24S.

The Chassis was manufactured in September 2014. I look online and the chassis built in September 2013 is considered a 2014. Forest River sol the unit to me as a 2015 Solera.

Well imagine our surprise when the unit we ordered at the end of January came in as a 2016! Certainly wasn't expecting that. I haven't looked at chassis to see what year it is. I'll try and look tomorrow. I'm sure it's at least a 2014 chassis and the 7254 sway bar fits. Bolts right up with little effort.

Amazon. $169.63 shipped. It says on Amazon that it doesn't fit the 2015 Sprinter 3500. I talked to several places (Freightliner, The Sprinter Store, etc.) that confirmed that it will fit. Nothing on Sprinter has changed in the last few years. Actually just ordered Koni rear shocks from the Sprinter Store yesterday.

Update on Hellwig Sway Bar
I talked to one of the Hellwig sway bar suppliers this morning and was told Hellwig didn't have a sway bar for the 2015 Solera. So I called Hellwig directly and they said they just received confirmation from Sprinter that the 7254 is still the one we need.

If you have a sway bar installed (And by sway bar, I mean the Helwig), would anyone be interested in this fine specimen?

#1 I will make them available to those at the Goshen FROG rally.
#2 Once we get a qty on hand maybe we can mail them to those that took the plunge....
However I might need some pictures or testimonials. If we're going to offer the sway bar standard, I want to make sure EVERYONE even thinking about a Sprinter, hedges towards ours because we have them. In addition to all the other good reasons

I'd love one! Could use to cover paint damage on driver's door!  
On another note, what's your opinion on Koni shocks?
