EXPERT ADVICE
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
Not sure what suspension is right for your 4WD? This is why we start with the complete vehicle.
WHY UPGRADE YOUR SUSPENSION?
SPEC IT AROUND THE WHOLE VEHICLE.
No two 4WDs are used the same. A suspension package should take into account what the vehicle carries, what it tows, its accessories and the conditions it regularly drives in.
Improved ride comfort
Better vehicle control
Reduced suspension sag
Set up for towing
Matched to added accessories
Tailored to your vehicle
SPRING RATE MATTERS
WHAT DOES YOUR 4WD ACTUALLY CARRY?
We don't choose suspension from the badge on the bonnet alone. The actual weight and use of the vehicle matters.
FRONT ACCESSORIES
Bull bars, winches and underbody protection can affect front spring selection.
TRAY & CANOPY
Trays, canopies and permanently carried equipment can add significant rear load.
TOURING GEAR
Drawers, fridges, batteries, fuel and other permanent equipment should be considered.
TOWING
Regular towing and tow-ball load should be part of the rear suspension recommendation.
YOUR SUSPENSION PACKAGE MAY INCLUDE
BUILD THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.
Every suspension package is different. Components are selected around your vehicle and intended use.
SUSPENSION COMPONENT
SHOCK ABSORBERS
Matched to the vehicle, spring rate and intended driving conditions.
SUSPENSION COMPONENT
COIL SPRINGS
Spring rates selected around ride height, accessories and constant vehicle load.
SUSPENSION COMPONENT
LEAF SPRINGS
Rear spring options for selected utes and load-carrying applications.
SUSPENSION COMPONENT
AIRBAGS
Load-support options for suitable applications where variable rear load needs to be managed.
GEOMETRY COMPONENT
UPPER CONTROL ARMS
Available where the vehicle and lift height require additional geometry correction.
COMPLETE SETUP
STEERING & ALIGNMENT
Geometry and alignment are considered as part of the completed suspension setup.
WHAT DOES YOUR 4WD DO?
MATCH THE SUSPENSION TO THE JOB.
The right spring and shock package depends on how the vehicle spends most of its time.
A balanced setup for everyday driving with the accessories actually fitted to the vehicle.
Suspension matched around permanent touring equipment, additional load and rough-road use.
Rear load, tow-ball weight and normal travelling configuration are considered together.
Ride height, tyres, geometry and suspension travel are considered as one complete setup.
LIFT HEIGHT & GEOMETRY
A LIFT IS MORE THAN HEIGHT.
Increasing ride height can change suspension and driveline geometry. The complete setup needs to be considered.
ALIGNMENT
Wheel alignment is an important part of completing a suspension installation.
CASTOR & CAMBER
Geometry changes are assessed and correction components considered where required.
DRIVELINE ANGLES
CV and driveline angles can become relevant as suspension height increases.
TYRE CLEARANCE
Current or planned tyre size should be considered when choosing the complete setup.

SUSPENSION FAQS
BEFORE YOU UPGRADE.
Every 4WD is different. We'll recommend the appropriate setup once we understand your vehicle and how you use it.
It depends on the vehicle, tyre size, intended use,
accessories and the complete setup. Rather than
automatically recommending the tallest option, we'll
recommend a suitable ride height for your build.
Spring rate should be selected around the actual
constant load. Bull bars, winches, trays, canopies,
drawers, fuel tanks and other permanently fitted
accessories can all affect the recommendation.
Yes. Tell us what you tow, your normal vehicle load
and approximate tow-ball weight so those factors can
be considered when specifying the suspension.
Not every lift requires aftermarket upper control arms.
It depends on the vehicle, suspension design, lift height
and resulting geometry.
Airbags can be useful in suitable applications where
rear load varies, but they aren't automatically required
on every towing or touring setup. The base spring package
still needs to suit the vehicle.
Alignment is an important part of completing a suspension
installation. The finished vehicle needs to be checked
after the suspension components are fitted.
GVM upgrade options may be available for selected vehicles.
If payload capacity is part of your suspension upgrade,
tell us during the quote process so the correct pathway
can be discussed.
Our range includes Superior Engineering, Outback Armour,
CalOffroad, Tough Dog and SuperSpares. The recommended
option depends on your vehicle, budget, load and use.
