Heavily equipped Next Gen Rangers used for touring, towing or commercial applications often operate at sustained load across varied conditions. In these cases, suspension performance under load becomes critical.
This 4000kg GVM upgrade with remote reservoir adjustable shock absorbers is suited to high constant load vehicles. It’s designed for demanding use where improved heat management and damping control are required to maintain consistency over long distances. This upgrade also allows for an increase in GCM where applicable, supporting higher combined vehicle and trailer weights.

Compliance
This is an ADR-compliant and federally approved GVM upgrade. For federal approval, the kit must be installed prior to first registration. This pathway suits new vehicles and allows for a certified GVM & GCM increase from day one.
For registered vehicles, the upgrade must be certified by an Authorised Inspection Station. The vehicle must be in roadworthy condition and presented for inspection following installation. Our pricing covers the full process, including the modification application, inspection, and final approval permit.
Note: GCM increase is NOT available post registration for this vehicle. The Western Australian Government has indicated that post registration GCM upgrade for this vehicle may be approved in future. However, no implementation date has been confirmed. Lovells continues to work closely with the Department of Transport to progress this approval.
General Usage
This upgrade is designed for vehicles carrying increased constant loads. Ride quality may be firmer when unladen. The GVM upgrade kit must be installed by Ultimate 4WD, an approved Lovells GVM certifier, to ensure full compliance and a legally recognised upgrade.
