Why change your suspension kit? 

The 4x4 suspension kits often offer an upgrade and a reinforcement, a resistance compared to the original. It is essential to change the suspension since the original one is often not adapted to travel or raids. Raising the suspension allows to better attack the crossing and makes the 4x4 more skilful. Reinforcing the suspension allows you to support, without risk of breakage, the overload due to your onboard equipment or Canopy Hardtoproof tent, etc.

What is the purpose of a suspension spring?

The suspension spring provides vehicle reliability, ride height and strength. We often hear the idea that the shock absorber is the vehicle's strength and lift. However, it is the spring as a whole that provides more or less resistance. An adapted and efficient spring improves the behavior of the 4x4 or pick-up vehicle during turns, braking or acceleration phases.

The springs offer a +3cm rise
