FAQs

What makes Offroad Industries’ GVM upgrades the best choice for my Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

We always say that when you’re driving an American truck, you’ll want American-made parts and accessories when you upgrade. Our Chevrolet Silverado GVM upgrades are specifically designed and engineered for the 1500 platform, using premium Fox Suspension and custom ORI leaf packs. These combined parts will deliver the reliable load support you’re looking for, along with improved ride quality and handling. Plus, it’s ADR compliant-meaning you stay street legal while also being off-road ready for whenever the mood strikes. 

How does the GVM upgrade enhance my Silverado’s towing capacity and payload?

By reinforcing the parts of your truck that carry the brunt of the weight when you’re hauling a trailer or loading up the tub, you can safely load up more gear, tools and offroading toys for the trips out into the beaten track. Equally, you’ll get all these benefits without losing any of the control or handling you’re used to, with many of our upgrades also contributing to greater ground clearance for a smoother ride over rocky or uneven terrain. 

What’s the difference between the stages of the GVM upgrade for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and which one suits my needs?

Each stage we offer delivers slightly different specs, by utilising different GVM suspension parts and upgrades. Depending on the use and payload you’re demanding from your Silverado 1500, different stages will be necessary. 

As a general example, Stage 1 is ideal for everyday driving and towing, while Stage 2 and beyond cater to heavier-duty applications. This can include things like full-time towing, off-road builds for handling more gear when you’re driving in rough terrain, or worksite use. We’ll help you pick the right stage based on how you use your truck - contact us anytime for a personal recommendation.

How does Fox Suspension improve the performance and handling of my Chevrolet Silverado with the GVM upgrade?

Fox Suspension adds control, comfort, and confidence - especially when carrying loads or navigating rough terrain. The shocks reduce body roll, improve damping, and handle heat better, making your Silverado smoother on-road and tougher off-road. You can also expect an increase in ground clearance with certain Stage upgrades, which are compatible with larger wheels for better traction and boosted power in rocky terrain. 

Can I still use my factory wheels with the Offroad Industries GVM upgrade for my Silverado?

Yes, in most cases. Our GVM upgrades are designed with compatibility in mind, but we’ll always confirm based on your trim level and preferred tyre setup. However, if you want to upgrade your wheels, you certainly can. This not only gives you more traction when you’re navigating tricky terrain but also enhances the look of your truck. 

How does Offroad Industries ensure that the GVM upgrade for the Silverado meets Australian standards?

We run every upgrade through an ADR testing process that includes suspension geometry, brake performance, and overall load compliance. When we say it’s certified, we mean it’s legal, safe, and road-ready at a federal level. Our authorised installers know what they’re doing and will deliver a top-quality installation job that you can rely on. 

How is Offroad Industries’ GVM upgrade adapting to the latest trends in 4x4 modifications?

The latest trends and demands from Silverado drivers are all about functional upgrades with OEM-level integration. Our GVM kits meet that trend head-on with performance suspension, load-tested leaf packs, and all the compliance paperwork you need to stay above board. There’s no unnecessary extras, just functional mods that work and can handle everything that even your toughest drive can throw at them.

What type of tyres are compatible with the GVM upgrade for my Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

While you don’t necessarily need to upgrade your wheels, you will need to upgrade your tyres, as your upgrades pair best with load-rated tyres suited to your increased GVM. We’ll help you select tyres that meet both your off-road goals and on-road compliance, whether you're going all-terrain, mud-terrain, or heavy-duty highway.
