GVM Upgrades Sydney
Carry more weight legally with a GVM upgrade fitted at our Brookvale workshop. A bull bar, canopy, drawers, water and a fridge add up fast, and many touring utes go over their standard limit before they leave the driveway. We fit Lovells GVM upgrade kits with matched springs, shocks and control arms for Rangers, Hiluxes, D-Maxes, Prados and more.
Or call 1300 856 888 to discuss your vehicle and load.

GVM stands for Gross Vehicle Mass. It is the most your vehicle can legally weigh, fully loaded with people, fuel and gear. A GVM upgrade raises that limit with stronger suspension and certification, so your ute stays legal and handles properly under load.
Signs You Need a GVM Upgrade
Book a GVM check if any of these sound familiar:
- Your ute sits low at the rear when loaded
- You run a canopy, drawers, roof rack or long range tank
- You tow a camper or caravan and carry a full tub
- Your vehicle wanders or bottoms out on rough roads
- A weighbridge shows you are close to or over your GVM
What a GVM Upgrade Includes
Every kit is matched to your vehicle. Depending on the model, it can include:
- Heavy-duty front and rear springs
- Matched shock absorbers
- Upper control arms to correct alignment
- A radiator upgrade on some kits
- Fitting by our 4WD technicians
- Certification paperwork for the new GVM
Ask us which kit suits your vehicle and how you use it.
GVM, GCM and Towing
Raising your GVM does not always raise your Gross Combination Mass (GCM). If your GCM stays the same, a higher GVM can reduce how much you can tow. We check both numbers for your vehicle before you buy.

GVM Upgrade FAQs
Is a GVM upgrade legal in NSW?
Yes, when it is fitted and certified through the approved process. We fit certified kits and guide you through the paperwork for your vehicle.
Is it better to upgrade before or after registration?
An upgrade done before a new vehicle is first registered is often simpler. Upgrades after registration are still possible. Call us before you buy a new ute and we will explain the options.
Do I need to tell my insurer?
Yes. Let your insurer know about the GVM upgrade and any accessories so your cover matches your vehicle.
Will a GVM upgrade change my ride?
Your ute will sit level and handle better when loaded. It can feel firmer when empty because the springs are rated for more weight.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on the kit and your vehicle. We confirm fitting time when we quote.
