With a certified GVM upgrade, Ranger owners can increase their vehicle's carrying capacity and tackle challenging loads with greater ease and safety. GVM upgrades typically involve reworking the suspension by fitting stronger springs or shock absorbers, as well as updating the brakes to ensure the vehicle can safely handle the increased load capacity.

Here are two products we recommend. They’re intended as a starting point, to give you an idea of what’s available.
