Upgrading your vehicle’s suspension system or Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) enhances your 4x4’s on and off-road potential by increasing its ride, comfort, handling and load-carrying capability. As suspension experts, Illawarra 4x4 Off-Road Centre can tailor a suspension solution to suit you, your vehicle, and the loads you need to carry.
4X4 Suspension, Coilovers, Shocks & Struts
Enhance your vehicle’s handling, ride and load-carrying capabilities with Ironman 4x4’s range of 4x4 suspension upgrades.
Vehicle suspension is a complicated piece of gear but understanding what it does and why it’s important doesn’t need to be.
At its core, suspension is what controls the weight of your car and its contact with the road. This means that suspension is crucial to your vehicle’s ability to carry loads and pull something in tow, while it will also dictate how comfortable your ride is over changing terrain and how your 4WD responds while braking, accelerating and cornering.
Ironman 4x4 GVM Upgrades
A GVM upgrade most commonly consists of replacing the original suspension equipment with more capable equipment that is designed to carry greater weight. Replacing components such as springs and shock absorbers allows the vehicle to carry additional weight, without compromising on its handling, function and safety features. Of course, to ensure this is the case, all GVM upgrades are rigorously tested and approved by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and Arts. During the GVM upgrade process, axle load limits are also commonly tested and validated to increase the permissible load over each axle.
