Factors to Consider When Choosing a Suspension System

Vehicle Weight

The weight of your vehicle is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a suspension system. A heavier vehicle will require a more heavy-duty suspension kit to handle the added weight.

Driving Needs

Consider your driving needs when selecting a suspension system. If you frequently drive on rough terrain, you'll need a suspension system that can handle the bumps and vibrations. A suspension lift kit can provide more ground clearance for navigating deep ruts and other off-road obstacles.

Suspension System Type

There are two main types of suspension systems: independent and non-independent. Independent suspension systems allow each wheel to move independently, while non-independent systems have a solid axle, meaning both wheels on an axle move together. 

Wheel Travel and Flexibility

Consider the wheel travel and flexibility of the suspension system you are considering. More flex can be beneficial for off-roading, but less space between the wheel and the fender can lead to rubbing and other issues.

Lift Height

The lift height of your suspension kit will determine the size of the wheels and tyres that you can fit on your 4WD. Fulcrum Suspension offers a range of lift kits, including suspension lift kits, to give you more ground clearance and allow for larger tyres.

Spring Rates

Spring rates are an important consideration when choosing a suspension system. The spring rate determines how much weight the suspension can handle and how much support the vehicle will have.

Handling and Traction

Handling and traction are important factors to consider when choosing a suspension system. A good suspension system will help your vehicle maintain traction and stability in all driving conditions.

Tyre Size

The size of your tyres will have an impact on your suspension system. Larger tyres will require more suspension lift to accommodate the increased size.
