Mazda BT50 GVM Upgrades

Upgrade your Mazda BT50 with one of our GVM upgrade kits! Call 1800 385 278 today!

Do you own a Mazda BT50? Are you carrying heavy loads or extra weight in the rear? Upgrade your Mazda BT50 with one of our GVM upgrade kits. By increasing your GVM, you can take your 4x4 to the next level and tackle any adventure with all the gear you need, without worrying about exceeding your allowable GVM.

As a 4WD owner or 4x4 enthusiast, we understand that you may like to load up your Mazda BT50, whether it be for work or when you are hitting the tracks on the weekend. With a Ute full of tools or a car full of equipment and 4x4 gear, the weight of your vehicle may be nearing the legal maximum Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) if it has not already surpassed it. When a vehicle exceeds the allowable GVM, the safety of the vehicle and everyone inside is at risk, which is why overloading is illegal and very dangerous. With one of our GVM upgrade kits, your BT50 can carry extra weight with confidence, providing you and your family with complete comfort and safety.

At Fulcrum Suspensions, we make it our top priority to deliver excellent service, providing only the best range of products to our customers. Our GVM kits have been meticulously tested in some of the harshest conditions and environments to ensure your BT50 receives the best possible GVM upgrade, improving your overall driving experience. As Australia’s number one suspension specialist, our team of expert technicians and engineers has also reviewed, tested and approved our complete range of GVM upgrade kits, ensuring they are of very high quality.

Our GVM kits suit all Mazda BT50 Series owners who carry heavy loads, including mining companies, farmers, tradesmen and off-road enthusiasts. The Mazda BT50 GVM upgrades meet both practical and documentary compliance requirements of Police Licensing, Insurance, Work Safety, Lessors and Fleet Managers. Each of our upgrade kits have been assessed through a long and strict process, ensuring an improvement in performance, ride handling, load carrying and comfort.

All GVM upgrade kits are supplied with detailed fitting instructions and appropriate documentation. These kits also include all necessary components and parts such as springs, shock absorbers, greaseable shackles and pins, U-Bolts, and Brackets.

  


  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a GVM upgrade?

GVM stands for Gross Vehicle Mass, which is the maximum allowable weight for a fully loaded vehicle. A GVM upgrade kit is specifically designed to increase your allowable GVM, letting you load all the equipment you need without overloading your vehicle. Fulcrum Suspensions’ GVM upgrade kits increase your GVM, along with improvements in performance, ride handling, and comfort.

Who would require a GVM upgrade for their vehicle?

A GVM upgrade is suitable for any 4WD owner who regularly carries heavy loads, including tools, equipment, or off-road gear. This includes tradespeople, mining companies, farmers, and off-road enthusiasts who rely on their vehicles for work or adventure.

When should a GVM upgrade kit be fitted?

If your 4x4 frequently carries heavy loads and is approaching or exceeding its standard GVM, it is important to consider a GVM upgrade. Contacting a suspension expert, such as the team at Fulcrum Suspensions, can help determine the right solution for your needs.

How does a GVM upgrade kit work?

A GVM upgrade kit works similarly to a lift kit by upgrading key suspension components such as springs, shock absorbers, shackles, and U-bolts. These upgrades allow the vehicle to safely carry additional weight while maintaining performance, handling, and compliance with legal requirements.

What happens if you exceed your GVM?

Exceeding your GVM is dangerous and can negatively impact vehicle handling, braking, and stability, increasing the risk of accidents. It also places additional stress on suspension components and tyres, potentially leading to failure. Driving an overloaded vehicle is illegal and may result in fines or penalties.

Is it illegal to go over GVM?

Yes, exceeding your vehicle’s GVM is illegal. Driving an overloaded vehicle can result in significant fines and may lead to your vehicle being defected or impounded by authorities.
