Why Choose a Lovells Certified GVM Upgrade?
- Legal Compliance Australia-Wide: Pre-registration federal SSM approval and post-registration state engineer certification ensure your vehicle complies with all state transport laws and insurance requirements.
- Massive Payload Gains: Typical increases range from +300kg up to +1,000kg (e.g. LandCruiser 79 Series up to 4,200kg GVM; LC300 up to 4,000kg GVM; Ranger/HiLux up to 3,500kg–3,720kg GVM).
- Matched Heavy Duty Componentry: High-grade Australian chrome-silicone steel coils, multi-leaf packs, and Lovells Gas Legend / Platinum 36mm & 40mm twin-tube heavy-duty shock absorbers.
- Upgraded Axle Capacities: Lovells kits certify increased front and rear axle load ratings to prevent axle housing fatigue and tyre overload.
Pre-Registration vs Post-Registration:
Pre-rego vehicles receive federal Second Stage Manufacturer compliance plates valid nationwide. Post-rego vehicles are inspected and certified with QLD transport modification plates at our Warana workshop.
