Hi All,

Has anyone done a GVM upgrade with approximately 50mm lift??

Keen to hear types used, costs and feedback.

Thanks in advance

Only Prado GVM upgrade I know of is Lovells.

Prado GVM upgrade - lack of competition

Have any other suppliers recently come to the party and started supplying GVM upgrade for Prado in Sydney?

Strange that Australia's most popular (largest seller for years) 4x4 does not have a several suppliers (even ARB is not there).

Does anyone know reason for this? LC200 has more choice and yet not as many are sold. Seems large market opportunity is ignored ...

I have had a quote for a 50mm lift and GVM upgrade here in WA by Malaga Suspensions. $3200 for Bilstein Struts and Dobinson springs increasing the GVM to 3300kg. I am finding it a bit hard to justify spending all that cash when OME, EFS etc are about $1800 but don't offer the (WA only due to post rego) GVM certification.
I have read some mixed reports about Bilstein struts, personally I thought they were some of the better brands. I don't mean top hijack this thread but does anyone have any feedback regarding this upgrade?

They probably have to pay some fee to be credited to perform the GVM upgrade. So they are passing on the costs.

Engineering certificate costs as well.
