How does Fox Suspension contribute to the performance of my Ford F150 with the GVM upgrade?

Whether you’re driving across the worksite with your heavy tools in the back, or are hauling a trailer to the coast on the weekend, you’ll be able to handle more - without experiencing every bump. They help absorb the impact of whatever you’re rolling over, improve safety by lessening the chances of body rolls, and keep you comfortable without sacrificing your ability to carry extra weight.

Can I use my factory wheels with Offroad Industries’ GVM upgrade for the Ford F150?

Generally, you can keep your original wheels when you upgrade your GVM. However, you may want to change out your existing wheels for new ones with a larger diameter to account for the extra lift you often get with new suspension upgrades. 

Your tyres will also likely need to be replaced to account for the extra weight you’re capable of hauling. Our upgrades are built with factory compatibility in mind - but we’ll confirm everything based on your specific model and load requirements to make sure your setup stays compliant. 

How do BDS control arms improve the suspension performance of my Ford F150 after the GVM upgrade?

BDS upper control arms help maintain correct alignment and suspension geometry, especially when your F150 is lifted or carrying extra weight. They increase strength and articulation, making your ride safer and more capable.

What are the benefits of using ORI Leaf Packs in the Ford F150’s GVM upgrade?

ORI custom leaf packs are designed to handle the added stress of a higher GVM. They boost rear axle support and improve ride height, so your F150 stays level and controlled - even when it’s fully loaded.

How does Offroad Industries ensure that the GVM upgrade for my Ford F150 complies with Australian standards?
