For the weekend handyman we can recommend load carrying solutions that minimise the effects that seriously heavy duty suspension can have on the comfort of driving your vehicle during the week, but still lets you tackle the DIY jobs on the weekend, without worrying if your vehicle will handle it.

If you are regularly carrying close to or even over the maximum load rating for your vehicle, you may need to consider the effect on your suspension. Carrying heavy loads reduces the travel of your shocks and compresses the springs, this not only reduces the life of the suspension components of your vehicle and but can have a serious effect on the comfort of your ride, your vehicles road handling including steering, braking and traction, reducing overall stability and safety.

Another suspension product designed specifically for heavy load carrying and often used in load carrying vehicles are leaf springs. Compared to their coiled counterpart, they are still the most effective suspension design for load carrying however over time can become noisy, sag and produce an overall rougher ride. The expert team at GC Suspension, Steering & Brakes can discuss your options whether it be re-setting your springs or a complete replacement.

For levelling control of vehicles carrying load or towing, our staff can also discuss the option of having airbags fitted. Whether your vehicle is fitted with leaf springs or coil springs, the additional support of airbags can reduce the sagging of the rear under load. The benefits of airbags are many, including maintaining a level vehicle, improving ride quality by significantly reducing "bottoming out", reducing tyre wear, reducing spring fatigue, and improving overall steering, balance and vehicle stability. The adjustability of Airbags maximises the safe load carrying capacity of a variety of different vehicles including Utes, vans, light commercial trucks, 4WDs, SUVs and campervans.
