The Complete MV Triton Suspension Upgrade


The MV Triton is Mitsubishi's biggest redesign of the platform in years, with a tougher chassis, a more refined interior, and real improvements in on-road manners and off-road capability. For tradies, tourers, and 4WD enthusiasts, it's a ute that ticks a lot of boxes straight off the showroom floor.
But like every factory ute, it's been built to a price, and workshops across Australia are already seeing the same three issues come through the door on MV Tritons: weak front dampening, seized ball joints, and harsh rear bump stop hits under load. None of them are catastrophic on their own, but together they affect how the vehicle drives, how long it lasts, and how it handles real Australian conditions.
That's where the Formula 4x4 2 inch lift kit and SuperPro Upper Control Arms come in. The Triton lift kit from Formula 4x4 fixes the dampening and rear travel issues, while the SuperPro UCAs solve the front end geometry and ball joint problems that come with any lifted vehicle. Together, the MV Triton lift kit and UCA combo gives you the complete front to rear MV Triton suspension upgrade the platform should have come with from the factory, and Fulcrum Suspensions is the team to get it fitted right.
Why Your MV Triton Needs This Kit
The new Triton suspension setup performs fine in showroom conditions, but Australian roads, loads, and tracks tell a different story.
Weak Front Dampening
The factory front struts struggle under load and on corrugations, and you feel it as a floaty, unsettled front end when you're towing, carrying gear, or hitting unsealed roads. Worn dampening also chews through tyres faster and saps your steering confidence over time.
Seized Ball Joints
Owners across Australia are reporting premature ball joint failure on the MV Triton, often well before they should be replaced, and seized or worn joints affect steering, alignment, and overall safety. Swapping them out with the same factory part just starts the clock again on the same problem.
Harsh Rear Bump Stop Hits
The factory rear setup runs out of travel quickly, so when you load it up or hit some rough terrain, you'll feel that sharp jolt as the suspension slams into the bump stop. It's uncomfortable for everyone in the cab, brutal on the chassis, and a clear sign your suspension isn't doing its job.
How the Formula 4x4 2" Lift Kit Fixes It
Every component in the Formula 4x4 2 inch lift kit is there for a reason. It's not just about lifting the vehicle, it's about fixing the things the factory got wrong, and the result is a 2 inch suspension package that solves real problems while delivering the performance you'd expect from a quality lift.
· Confident steering and no more front end float, thanks to pre-assembled front struts that restore proper dampening and control.
· A rear end that absorbs instead of slamming, with uprated rear leaf springs and shocks that give you back the travel and load capacity you needed in the first place.
· Two inches of extra ground clearance, so you can clear obstacles, fit larger tyres, and improve your approach and departure angles.
On top of that, you get better towing stability, more confidence under load, and the backing of a 5 year unlimited kilometre national warranty supported by Fulcrum stores across the country.
What's Included in the MV Triton 2" Lift Kit
The Formula 4x4 MV Triton lift kit ships as a complete package, with no chasing extra parts or guesswork. The components are matched, tested, and supplied with everything you need for a clean install:
- Pre-assembled front struts with proper dampening for load and corrugations
- Rear leaf springs load-rated to suit your constant load
- Rear shock absorbers uprated for travel, control, and durability
- U-bolts to suit the new springs
- Bushings to replace tired factory rubber for a tighter, more responsive feel
You also get fitting instructions, a 5-year/Unlimited kilometre warranty, and the option to upgrade through Click & Fit so Fulcrum can deliver and install everything at your nearest workshop.
Pair It With SuperPro Upper Control Arms
The lift kit takes care of dampening, travel, and ride height, but the SuperPro UCAs handle everything else that changes when you lift a 4WD.
When you raise the vehicle, the factory front end geometry shifts: caster and camber move out of range, ball joint angles get steeper, and the factory UCAs can foul on larger shocks at full droop. SuperPro's replacement UCAs are built specifically for lifted MV Tritons, so they restore correct geometry, allow a proper alignment, and come with stronger ball joints that fix the seizing issue at the source rather than just papering over it.
Run the lift kit on its own and you'll feel a huge improvement over the factory setup. Run it with the SuperPro UCAs and you've got a properly engineered MV Triton suspension package, one that solves every known weak point on the platform, drives better on-road, performs better off-road, and lasts longer under load. For any MV Triton owner serious about doing the job right, this is the combination we recommend.
