Vehicle suspensions are often forgotten about as a necessary part of a car’s mechanical system. But when you have been 'off roading' for a while you may notice a change in your suspension. So, it’s important to have this checked regularly.

If your springs have lost their bounce or you have been carrying bigger loads than normal, then you might be riding closer to the ground meaning your approach or departure angles are reduced or worn shock absorbers may no longer be giving you that comfortable ride or may be reducing the safe handling and braking of your vehicle.

Don’t forget your suspension connects to your axles and wheels so having your wheel alignment checked is also a must. If your suspension isn’t right, it may also cause early and uneven tyre wear.

Adding a 4X4 Suspension Lift Kit to your 4WD vehicle increases your clearance height so you can tackle more advanced off-road driving as well as increasing your tyre size. There are many different types of Lift Kits available so please speak to our experts about your specific needs.

If you are using your 4WD for camping trips, fishing trips, caravanning or trailer use then a towbar is an essential addition to your vehicle. This component is attached to the structural frame of your vehicle and with a towball it securely connects to whatever you are towing. There are many things to consider like the weight of what you are towing and what your vehicle can legally tow. And some modifications may be required like cutting away your rear bumper. Let us help you determine the best option and install it professionally for you.
