Modify Your 4x4 Suspension

Although you might think your 4x4 is ready to tackle off-road terrains, the truth is most 4WDs today are built for everyday journeys. If you’re getting serious about your adventures, make sure you step up the suspension on your 4x4. And at Westlakes 4x4 Centre in Lake Macquarie, our team is here to help.

It’s essential to modify your vehicle to ensure it’s equipped to handle heavier weights and rougher surfaces. Without it, you’ll struggle to carry all your mods and equipment, or notice a lack in performance – especially when you go off the beaten track.

Don’t risk getting stuck. Equip your 4WD with the suspension it needs from quality brands including Ironman 4x4, Bilstein, Tough Dog, and Polyair Spring.

FAQ 2

FAQ 3 

Question: How long should my suspension last? 

Answer: This depends on your style of driving and the terrain you use. Springs will acquire more noticeable wear but it’s important to check your suspension regularly (ideally after every trip) and listen out for other signs, such as squeaks.

FAQ 4 

Question: How long do shock absorbers last?

Answer: This depends again on your style of driving, if it has been in any accidents, as well as the brand you use. However, shock absorbers typically last around five years. 

FAQ 5 

Question: How do I get more clearance?

Answer: Adding a suspension lift, in addition to a tyre raise, can help give you greater ground clearance under the axel. 

FAQ 6 

Question: What do springs do in a suspension? 

Answer: Your suspension’s springs bear the weight of your 4x4 and receive some of the shock you encounter, helping you enjoy a smoother drive.
