Terrain Tamer has developed GVM Upgrade solutions for popular 4WD models which, when towing or loaded with essential off-road gear, are often pushed to their GVM and axle loading limits. We have a range of upgrade kits to suit your vehicle's needs.
Consisting of exclusive Terrain Tamer suspension components, these GVM Upgrade kits have been thoroughly tested and analyzed to reach Secondary Stage Manufacturer's approval and can be installed either prior to registration or on existing registered vehicles at approved workshops, and following state-level modification processes
With our GVM Upgrade kits, you can increase your vehicle's gross vehicle mass rating, giving you more leeway when it comes to loading up your 4x4 for your next adventure. Whether you need to add a bull bar, winch or other accessories, our GVM Upgrade kits will help make sure your 4x4 is up to the task.
PARABOLIC LEAF SPRING OPTIONS:
Traditional 4WD leaf springs are often thick, heavy, uncomfortable and loud, offering little to no flex. In response to this Terrain Tamer developed their 4WD Parabolic Leaf Springs, applying a carefully researched design and modern technology to a well-established idea from the trucking industry.
Containing fewer leaves than regular leaf springs, they are named for their tapered ‘parabolic’ design - thicker in the centre and thinner toward the ends, eliminating the weight of traditional leaf packs and dramatically reduces the unsprung weight of the vehicle and making them safer both on the road, and in the workshop. This lower weight also creates a more comfortable ride, whether loaded or unloaded, addressing the varying and ever-changing applications of the modern 4WD parts.
The design helps the spring to flex while still providing the strength needed for heavy loads, particularly useful when challenged with difficult terrain, as the flex afforded with a Parabolic Spring allows the spring to give a little when the driver hits a bump in the road, reducing the shock transferred to the crown wheel and pinion, stopping the wheel from spinning and essentially maintaining safety and drive.
The new shape also provides better axle articulation, and almost no interleaf friction, allowing the spring to compress or extend with ease without touching until there is a reasonable load on the vehicle, which means the springs are quieter and also helps minimise issues with rust build up, which can be a major cause of failure in standard leaf springs.
Utilising new technology on an old design, the parabolic springs allow for a comfortable ride whether the vehicle is fully loaded or empty.
- Lighter – Less unsprung weight
- Less Shock – Less shock load on the differential gears
- Quieter – The leafs do not touch each other
- Comfortable – With better articulation
- Strong – Exceptional load carrying capability
