RAM, Silverado & F-Truck GVM Upgrades with FOX Shocks | CTO Industries Australia
Looking to upgrade the GVM and suspension on your RAM, Chevrolet Silverado, or Ford F-Series truck? At CTO Industries, we deliver precision-engineered GVM upgrade packages featuring premium FOX shocks—designed to provide increased load-handling capabilities, enhanced ride comfort, and confident control in Australia’s toughest driving conditions.
From mining applications to remote-area touring, these upgrades are the perfect solution for drivers who demand safety, durability, and compliance without compromising on performance.
A GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) upgrade legally increases the maximum weight your vehicle can carry, including passengers, cargo, and accessories. Whether you’re running drawers, a canopy, water tanks, recovery gear, or towing a trailer, exceeding factory weight limits can lead to serious safety concerns and potential insurance issues.
CTO Industries offers GVM upgrade kits with FOX shocks that are compliant with Australian Design Rules (ADR), suitable for both pre-registration and post-registration, and engineered for long-term reliability.
Our upgrades apply to vehicles such as:
RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, TRX
Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500HD, Trail Boss
Ford F-150, F-250, F-350
Other compatible models include LandCruiser, Hilux, Ranger, Triton, D-Max, MU-X, Navara, Pajero, Amarok, and more
FOX is a global leader in high-performance off-road suspension systems. Their precision-engineered shocks are designed for durability, smooth damping, and superior control across rough terrain, making them the ideal match for any GVM upgrade.

Advanced monotube and IFP (Internal Floating Piston) technology
Improved articulation and ride quality under load
Enhanced vehicle handling on-road and off-road
Remote reservoir options for better heat dissipation and performance
