However, like many modern SUVs, the MU-X can quickly run into payload limitations once accessories and touring gear are installed.

Bull bars, winches, drawer systems, roof racks and towball weight all add up fast, which is why many MU-X owners choose to install a GVM upgrade.

At Ape Suspension, we supply and install the Lovells GVM upgrade for the Isuzu MU-X, increasing the vehicle’s legal load carrying capacity to 3325kg.

What Is a GVM Upgrade?

GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is the maximum legal weight your vehicle can weigh when fully loaded.

This includes:

• Vehicle weight
• Passengers
• Fuel
• Accessories (bull bars, winches, drawers etc.)
• Cargo and camping gear
• Towball weight from trailers or caravans

Once your vehicle exceeds this weight, it becomes illegal and potentially unsafe to drive.

A GVM upgrade increases this legal limit, allowing you to safely carry more weight while maintaining proper suspension performance.

MU-X GVM Upgrade Specifications

The Lovells GVM upgrade for the Isuzu MU-X increases the vehicle’s capacity to 3325kg.

Key Specifications

• Upgraded GVM: 3325kg
• Front Axle Capacity: 1575kg
• Rear Axle Capacity: 1750kg

Lovells recommends maintaining a constant payload of around 250kg to ensure the suspension performs correctly under normal driving conditions.

This makes the upgrade ideal for vehicles fitted with touring accessories or towing setups.

Why MU-X Owners Choose a GVM Upgrade

It’s surprisingly easy to overload a modern 4WD.

Typical touring builds often include:

• Bull bar and winch
• Roof rack or platform
• Dual battery systems
• Drawer systems
• Long range fuel tanks
• Fridges and recovery gear
• Caravan towball weight

Before long, many MU-X vehicles are close to or exceeding their factory payload limit.

A properly engineered GVM upgrade helps ensure your vehicle:

• Remains legal on Australian roads
• Maintains safe handling and braking
• Reduces stress on suspension components
• Handles touring and towing loads more confidently

Lovells Engineered Suspension System

The Lovells GVM upgrade kit includes a complete suspension system designed specifically for the MU-X platform.

Typical components include:

• Heavy duty front coil springs
• Heavy duty rear suspension components
• Matched shock absorbers
• Compliance plates and documentation
• Updated tyre loading placard

These upgrades allow the suspension to properly support increased loads while maintaining ride comfort and stability.

Touring, Towing & Caravan Setups

For many owners, the MU-X is primarily used for caravan towing or long distance touring.

A GVM upgrade is especially useful when your vehicle carries:

• Recovery gear
• Water tanks
• Camping equipment
• Fridges
• Roof tents
• Caravan towball weight

Without a GVM upgrade, these additions can easily push the vehicle beyond its legal weight limit.

With accessories like bull bars, roof racks, drawers, long-range fuel tanks, and towing setups, it doesn’t take long for the new Prado to approach its factory GVM of around 3100–3200kg.

That’s where a Lovells GVM Upgrade comes in.

At Ape Suspension, we can now offer the official Lovells GVM upgrade kits for the Toyota Prado 250 Series, increasing the vehicle’s legal load carrying capacity and making it far more capable for touring, towing and off road adventures.

Two GVM Upgrade Options for the Prado 250

Lovells has developed two engineered upgrade packages for the new Prado:

Touring GVM Upgrade: 3650kg

Ideal for most touring setups and accessory builds.

Key specifications:

• GVM: Increased to 3650kg
• GCM: Increased to 6800kg
• Front Axle Capacity: 1605kg
• Rear Axle Capacity: 2045kg
• Towing Capacity: 3500kg

This option gives Prado owners an additional 450–550kg of payload capacity, depending on the vehicle’s original GVM rating.

Platinum GVM Upgrade: 3900kg

For serious touring setups, heavy builds, and towing.

Key specifications:

• GVM: Increased to 3900kg
• GCM: Increased to 6800kg
• Front Axle Capacity: 1800kg
• Rear Axle Capacity: 2100kg
• Towing Capacity: 3500kg

This upgrade provides up to 800kg more payload capacity compared with a standard Prado.

Why Prado Owners Need a GVM Upgrade

Modern 4WD builds can easily add hundreds of kilograms to a vehicle.

Common accessories include:

• Bull bars
• Winches
• Dual battery systems
• Drawer systems
• Roof racks and rooftop tents
• Long range fuel tanks
• Fridges and recovery gear
• Tow balls from caravans

All of this weight counts toward your Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), which includes passengers, fuel, cargo, accessories and towball weight.

In Western Australia, exceeding your GVM can lead to:

• Insurance issues
• Defects from road authorities
• Increased wear on suspension and drivetrain
• Reduced safety and braking performance

A properly engineered GVM upgrade ensures your vehicle remains legal, safe and capable when fully loaded.

Federal SSM Approved GVM Upgrade

Lovells is a Federally approved Second Stage Manufacturer (SSM), meaning their upgrades are tested and engineered to meet Australian Design Rules (ADR) and federal compliance standards.

When fitted pre registration, the upgraded GVM is officially recorded on the vehicle’s compliance plate, ensuring the increased capacity is recognised nationally.

Lovells upgrades are developed through extensive testing and analysis to ensure the vehicle remains safe and compliant with Australian standards.

What’s Included in the Prado 250 GVM Upgrade Kit

The Lovells kit includes heavy duty suspension components specifically engineered for the Prado platform, including:

• Heavy duty front coil springs
• Heavy duty rear coil springs
• Gas shock absorbers or remote reservoir shocks (Platinum kit)
• Compliance plates and tyre placards
• Installation documentation and engineering data

These upgrades not only increase legal load capacity but also improve vehicle stability and control when carrying weight or towing.

Minimum Payload Recommendation

Lovells recommends vehicles fitted with their GVM upgrade kits carry a minimum constant payload of around 250kg to maintain proper ride quality and suspension performance.

This is typically achieved easily once accessories and touring equipment are installed.

When Should a GVM Upgrade Be Installed?

There are two ways to install a GVM upgrade:

Pre registration (Federal SSM upgrade)

• Installed before the vehicle is first registered
• Updated GVM is recorded on the compliance plate

Post registration (State engineering)

• Installed on vehicles already registered
• Requires engineering inspection and certification depending on the state

Our team can help advise which option is best for your situation.

Whether you’re building a touring rig, tackling corrugations in the outback, or just want a smoother, more controlled ride around town, the EFS MXP shocks and coilovers are built to perform.

What Makes the EFS MXP Series Different

The MXP (Monotube eXtreme Performance) Series represents the most advanced suspension product ever developed by EFS. Every component, from the internal valving to the external construction, has been designed with one purpose…to deliver superior control and comfort across all terrain.

Key Features:

• • 2.5-inch Monotube Body: Maximises oil volume for better cooling and consistent damping under load.

• • 22mm Hardened Chrome Piston Rod: Adds strength and durability to handle punishing conditions.

• • 30-Stage Rebound Adjustability: Fine-tune your suspension to suit your load, driving style, or terrain.

• • Direct Bolt-In Fitment: No cutting or chassis modification required; simply replace your OEM shocks.

• • Adjustable Coilover Spring Seat (on MXP Struts): Perfect for setting ride height or compensating for accessories and load changes.

• • High Quality Bushings & Mounts: Designed to minimise vibration, noise, and harshness for daily comfort.

This level of precision engineering means the MXP range delivers race level performance in a form that’s fully streetable and installer friendly.

Performance That Adapts to You

One of the standout features of the EFS MXP shocks is their 30 stage rebound adjustment. With a simple clicker dial, you can shift from soft and comfortable for the daily commute to firm and controlled for off road tracks or towing heavy loads.

That level of control makes the MXP perfect for:

• • Dual purpose 4WDs used both on road and off road.

• • Touring setups that need flexibility for varying loads.

• • 4×4 builds that balance aesthetics, stance, and ride quality.

• • Towing caravans, campers, or boats where damping control is crucial.

No matter how you drive, MXP lets you dial in your ideal setup: comfort when you want it, control when you need it.

Monotube Design: Built to Perform, Built to Last

Unlike traditional twin tube shocks, the MXP uses a monotube design that offers faster heat dissipation and more consistent performance under harsh conditions. This is especially important for long off road drives or towing, where sustained heat can cause shock fade in cheaper systems.

With a 2.5-inch body and large piston area, the MXP offers excellent oil flow and superior damping precision. Combined with premium seals and materials, it’s engineered to handle the extremes of Australian terrain; from desert tracks to coastal sand runs.

Height & Stance Control with MXP Coilovers

The EFS MXP Coilover Struts take the concept even further, integrating an adjustable spring seat for fine ride height tuning. This means you can lift your front end to suit barwork, winches, or other accessories without compromising shock travel or ride comfort.

That’s ideal for 4WD owners who want both function and stance; the look of a lifted setup with the ride quality of a premium system.

Australian Tuned Durability

Every MXP unit is tested in harsh conditions before hitting the shelves. EFS products are designed, tested, and tuned in Australia, ensuring they can withstand everything from high speed corrugations to coastal salt and red dirt.

If you want gear that holds up where it matters, on real Aussie tracks, MXP is the suspension you can trust.

How MXP Fits into the EFS Lineup

EFS already offers a strong range of shocks and struts, including:

• • Enforcer: Entry level twin tube option.

• • Elite: Balanced comfort and performance.

• • XTR / X-Treme: Heavy duty touring and off road shocks.

The MXP sits at the top of the range; a fully adjustable, performance driven monotube shock for drivers who demand precision and control.

Available Fitments

The EFS MXP range is expanding rapidly, with options now available for popular 4WDs including:

• • Ford Ranger (Next-Gen)

• • Ford Everest (2022+)

• • Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2021+)

• • Toyota Hilux

• • Great Wall Tank 300

• • Isuzu D-MAX / Mazda BT-50

Check with our in house experts for fitment details and installation packages.

Why Choose EFS MXP Shocks & Coilovers?

If you’re looking for a premium, Australian tuned suspension system that can handle anything you throw at it, EFS MXP is the smart upgrade. It’s designed to bridge the gap between comfort and capability; from daily driving to full off road adventure.

With MXP, you’re not just upgrading your suspension. You’re transforming your entire driving experience.

What is a 4×4 Lift Kit?

What is a GVM Upgrade?

Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) refers to the maximum legal weight your vehicle can weigh when fully loaded. This includes the vehicle itself, passengers, fuel, cargo, and any accessories. Many 4×4 enthusiasts and professionals find that the standard GVM provided by manufacturers isn’t sufficient for their needs, especially when towing caravans, boats, or carrying heavy work equipment. This is where GVM upgrades come into play. A GVM upgrade involves modifying the vehicle’s suspension system to increase its load-carrying capacity, ensuring safety and compliance with legal weight limits.

Why Consider a GVM Upgrade?

1. **Enhanced Load Capacity**

**Towing Caravans and Boats**: For those who love to explore the great outdoors with their caravan or boat, a GVM upgrade ensures your 4×4 can handle the extra weight without compromising safety.

**Work Equipment**: Tradies and professionals who carry heavy tools and materials can benefit from increased load capacity, preventing vehicle strain and ensuring smoother rides.

2. **Legal Compliance**

Exceeding your vehicle’s GVM is illegal and can result in fines, void insurance policies, and increased risk of accidents. Upgrading your GVM ensures you remain within legal weight limits.

3. **Improved Vehicle Performance**

A GVM upgrade enhances your vehicle’s suspension system, providing better handling, stability, and ride comfort, especially under heavy loads.

4. **Safety**

With a GVM upgrade, you reduce the risk of suspension failure, brake issues, and other mechanical problems that can arise from overloading your vehicle.

Compliance Requirements for GVM Upgrades in Perth

In Western Australia, GVM upgrades must comply with stringent regulations to ensure safety and legality. Here’s what you need to know:

1. **Certification**

GVM upgrades must be certified by an approved engineer. This certification confirms that the modifications meet Australian Design Rules (ADR) and state regulations.

2. **Modifications and Testing**

The vehicle’s suspension system is upgraded with high-quality components from reputable brands such as Lovells, EFS, and Tough Dog. After installation, the vehicle undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the required standards.

3. **Registration**

Once certified, the upgraded GVM must be registered with the Department of Transport (DoT) in Western Australia. This process involves updating your vehicle’s registration details to reflect the new GVM.

Who Benefits from GVM Upgrades?

1. **4×4 Enthusiasts**

Those who frequently travel off-road or embark on long trips with heavy loads will find GVM upgrades indispensable. The added load capacity ensures your vehicle can handle rough terrains and extended journeys without issues.

2. **Tradies and Professionals**

Builders, electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople who rely on their vehicles to transport heavy tools and materials will benefit from increased load capacity and improved vehicle performance.

The Pinnacles Desert

Navigating the Lunar Landscape

The Pinnacles Desert, located within Nambung National Park, is famous for its unique limestone formations that rise dramatically from the golden sands. This surreal landscape looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie and offers a fantastic off-road experience.

**Ideal Suspension Setup**: A moderate lift kit from Lovells combined with progressive coil springs will provide the perfect balance of clearance and comfort. The increased ground clearance helps you navigate the sandy terrain while the progressive springs ensure a smooth ride over uneven surfaces.

Karijini National Park

Conquering Gorges and Water Crossings

Karijini National Park is renowned for its deep gorges, crystal-clear waterholes, and rugged beauty. The off-road tracks here require a vehicle that’s capable of handling rocky trails, steep descents, and occasional water crossings.

**Ideal Suspension Setup**: For Karijini’s challenging terrain, a robust setup with EFS remote reservoir shocks and adjustable control arms from Tough Dog is recommended. The remote reservoir shocks provide excellent damping and heat dissipation, essential for the rough trails, while the adjustable control arms ensure precise handling and stability.

Cape Leveque

Coastal Bliss and Sandy Trails

Cape Leveque, located on the northern tip of the Dampier Peninsula, offers stunning coastal scenery, red cliffs, and pristine beaches. The sandy tracks and beach driving conditions require a suspension system that can handle soft sand and provide a comfortable ride.

**Ideal Suspension Setup**: A high-quality air suspension system from Airbag Man is perfect for this type of terrain. The adjustable ride height allows you to lower the vehicle for better traction on sand and raise it when navigating over dunes or rough patches. This setup ensures you can enjoy the coastal beauty without getting stuck in the sand.

The Kimberley

Tackling the Outback’s Remote Beauty

The Kimberley region is one of Australia’s last true wilderness areas, offering breathtaking landscapes, remote tracks, and an unparalleled sense of adventure. From rocky escarpments to river crossings, the Kimberley demands a rugged and reliable 4×4 setup.

**Ideal Suspension Setup**: For the Kimberley, a heavy-duty suspension system with Tough Dog’s remote reservoir shocks and heavy-duty coil springs is essential. This combination provides the durability and performance needed to tackle the harsh outback conditions, ensuring a comfortable ride over long distances.

Thrills and Spills on the Dunes

Lancelin Sand Dunes, located just north of Perth, is a playground for off-road enthusiasts. The massive sand dunes offer thrilling opportunities for sandboarding, dune bashing, and off-road driving.

**Ideal Suspension Setup**: For dune bashing at Lancelin, a setup with high-performance lift kits from Lovells and progressive coil springs is ideal. The lift kit provides the necessary ground clearance, while the progressive springs offer the flexibility needed to handle the shifting sands and jumps.

Fitzgerald River National Park

Coastal Tracks and Wildflowers

Fitzgerald River National Park is a haven for nature lovers, featuring diverse landscapes, coastal tracks, and a spectacular display of wildflowers. The off-road tracks here range from sandy trails to rocky outcrops.

**Ideal Suspension Setup**: A balanced suspension setup with EFS shocks and polyurethane bushings is perfect for this varied terrain. The EFS shocks ensure a smooth ride over both sandy and rocky sections, while the polyurethane bushings offer improved handling and reduced vibration.

Western Australia offers an incredible array of 4×4 terrains, each with its own unique challenges and beauty.
