Suspension
SPRINGS, SHOCKS & HELPER BAGS
When it comes to someone getting their vehicle ready for towing or outback touring, a suspension upgrade should always be near the top of the list. Here at Cruisemaster we have tried a number of suspension systems over the years and understand the right suspension comes down to your specifics and purpose. To give you the right fit for your suspension needs we haven’t limited the suspensions we fit in the Towing Performance Centre to a single brand. On our current fleet and available for fitment out of the TPC are suspension systems from Pedders, Old Man Emu, TJM and JMACX.
The right suspension upgrade will improve a vehicle’s performance and control. Often a suspension is selected and installed based on an unhitched vehicle’s characteristics, but once you add a caravan or camper into the mix that solution may no longer be ideal. This can lead to a vehicle being over or under sprung when changing between towing; pairing a suspension upgrade with Airbag Man Helper Bags can help allow for this changing load. Helper bags will give added support to the suspension to assist with the heavier load when towing while allowing you to keep a spring suitable for daily unloaded driving.
Full Airbag Man coil to air conversions are also available for applicable vehicles.
Looking for extreme protection for doing serious off-road tracks, that’s where JMACX comes in! The Cruisemaster Towing Performance Centre can fit out your 4x4 with a range of JMACX components including upgraded diff housings and radius arms.
With the extensive range offered by Pedders, Old Man Emu, TJM, JMACX and Airbag Man you can have confidence in finding the right suspension for you at the Towing Performance Centre.
AIRBAG MAN HELPER BAGS & FULL COIL CONVERSIONS
Install airbags on your vehicle and you’ll be able to lift and level up a sagging rear end when towing caravans, boats, campervans and trailers or when carrying extra uneven loads. Airbags will give your vehicle the extra support needed in the suspension for more comfortable, economical and safer driving. Airbags can be adjusted for varying loads and road conditions by inflating or deflating, just like inflating or deflating a car tyre, to give you rear to front and side to side levelling control of your vehicle.
Airbags suit a wide range of vehicles with all sorts of suspension whether it be in between the leaf/axle and chassis, inside a coil spring and even a full coil replacement.
You can add air via a service stations tyre inflation facilities or if you have a portable compressor that will work perfectly as well. If you wanted to inflate or deflate your airbags from the comfort of your vehicle, we have a massive range of on board air accessories that will give you the ability of individual press of a button technology and pressure readings via an analogue or digital gauge.
