GVM Upgrades Parts

A GVM upgrade raises the maximum loaded weight your 4WD or ute can legally carry. Add a canopy, drawers, a fridge, water and recovery gear, and a touring rig can reach its factory limit before you've packed the swag.

CalOffroad makes the suspension parts that go into a GVM upgrade: upper control arms for the LandCruiser 200 Series, 300 Series and Prado 250; radius arms for LandCruiser 76, 78, 79, 80 and 105 Series (DPF and non-DPF) and the Nissan Patrol GQ and GU; and a Dana 60 rear diff that corrects the narrow rear track on the 76, 78 and 79 Series.

GVM Upgrade FAQs

What is a GVM Upgrade?

A GVM upgrade is a legal modification that increases your vehicle's allowable carrying capacity. This means you can pack more essential gear – roof racks, winches, bull bars, spare tyres – without going over your vehicle's legal limit.

Is a GVM upgrade legal?

Yes, but only once it's certified. Fitting heavier-rated suspension parts doesn't change your vehicle's legal GVM on its own. On a new vehicle, an approved second-stage manufacturer certifies the upgrade before registration. On a registered vehicle, you'll need approval from your state's transport authority and a modification plate. A higher GVM doesn't raise your towing capacity.

When will I receive my GVM Upgrade?

We will always endeavour to have your order leave our warehouse on the same business day. For orders that need to be assembled, shipping may take an additional 2 business days. Depending on the Australian shipping address, delivery may take up to a week. Larger/Heavy items shipped to your business address or freight depot may take up to two weeks. View our shipping policy to learn more.

Does a GVM upgrade increase towing capacity?

No, a GVM upgrade does not directly increase your towing capacity. A GVM upgrade focuses on increasing the Gross Vehicle Mass, which is the total weight your vehicle can legally carry, including passengers, cargo, and itself. Your vehicle's towing capacity is a separate specification determined by the manufacturer and considers factors like engine power, transmission, and braking system.
