Silver Silverado 1500 LTZ with 3.5" Lift – Built for Touring, Towing & Everyday Adventure

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ is already one of the most capable American pickups on Australian roads, but when paired with premium suspension, an engineered GVM upgrade and a quality wheel and tyre package, it becomes a completely different machine.

This latest build from CTO Industries showcases exactly what's possible when performance and practicality are combined. Sitting on a 3.5-inch BDS Suspension lift with FOX 2.5 Performance Series shocks, a 250kg upgraded rear leaf pack, a CTO GVM Upgrade, KMC 549 wheels and 35-inch Yokohama Geolandar X-AT tyres, this Silverado 1500 LTZ is ready for everything from daily driving to towing and off-road adventures.

Whether you're planning a lap of Australia or simply want your Silverado to perform as well as it looks, this build delivers on every level.

A Balanced Lift Designed for Australian Conditions

One of the biggest advantages of this build is the carefully engineered 3.5-inch BDS Suspension Lift Kit.

Rather than simply increasing ride height, the BDS system has been designed to maintain factory steering geometry, ride comfort and reliability while providing the clearance needed for larger tyres and improved off-road capability.

The additional lift delivers several benefits, including:

• Increased ground clearance
• Improved approach and departure angles
• Better off-road capability
• Room for larger 35-inch tyres
• A tougher, more aggressive stance

As an authorised installer, CTO Industries ensures every suspension system is professionally fitted and engineered to suit Australian conditions.

FOX 2.5 Performance Series Suspension

Working alongside the BDS lift kit are FOX 2.5 Performance Series shocks, providing outstanding ride quality both on and off-road.

FOX suspension has become one of the most respected names in the off-road industry thanks to its ability to deliver exceptional vehicle control across a wide variety of terrain.

Benefits of the FOX 2.5 Performance Series include:

• Improved ride comfort
• Better handling on corrugations
• Increased suspension control
• Reduced shock fade
• Greater confidence when towing

Whether travelling across rough country roads or cruising comfortably on the highway, the FOX suspension package significantly enhances the driving experience.

250kg Upgraded Rear Leaf Pack

One of the most practical upgrades on this Silverado is the 250kg upgraded rear leaf pack.

Designed for owners who regularly carry equipment or tow caravans, the upgraded springs provide additional load support without compromising everyday drivability.

Advantages include:

• Improved load carrying capacity
• Reduced rear-end sag
• Better towing stability
• Increased suspension support
• Improved vehicle balance

Combined with the FOX suspension, the upgraded rear leaf pack creates a Silverado that's equally capable when fully loaded or travelling empty.

CTO GVM Upgrade

Payload is often one of the biggest limitations for touring vehicles.

With accessories, passengers, recovery gear, camping equipment and tow ball weight quickly adding up, many vehicles can reach their legal weight limit sooner than owners realise.

That's why this Silverado has been fitted with a CTO GVM Upgrade.

An engineered Gross Vehicle Mass upgrade increases the vehicle's legal carrying capacity, allowing owners to safely carry more equipment while remaining compliant.

For serious tourers and caravan owners, a GVM upgrade provides greater flexibility and peace of mind when travelling throughout Australia.

The experienced team at CTO Industries can recommend the most suitable GVM solution based on your vehicle and intended use.

KMC 549 Wheels

A premium build deserves premium wheels.

This Silverado sits on KMC 549 wheels, delivering both strength and aggressive styling.

KMC wheels are renowned for their durability and are designed to withstand the demands of off-road touring while maintaining an eye-catching appearance.

The black finish perfectly complements the silver bodywork, giving this Silverado a bold yet refined look.

35-Inch Yokohama Geolandar X-AT Tyres

Completing the package are 35-inch Yokohama Geolandar X-AT tyres.

The Geolandar X-AT bridges the gap between traditional all-terrain and mud-terrain tyres, making it an excellent choice for Australian touring.

Key benefits include:

• Outstanding all-terrain traction
• Excellent road manners
• Reduced road noise
• Strong sidewall protection
• Long tread life

Whether tackling gravel roads, muddy tracks or long highway drives, the Yokohama X-AT delivers confidence in every environment.

Built to Tow, Tour & Explore

This Silverado 1500 LTZ has been built with versatility in mind.

It's equally comfortable towing a caravan, exploring remote tracks or handling the daily commute around town.

Every component has been selected to work together, creating a vehicle that delivers:

• Superior ride quality
• Improved off-road capability
• Increased legal payload
• Better towing performance
• Aggressive styling
• Long-term reliability

It's the perfect example of why carefully chosen upgrades always outperform a collection of random aftermarket parts.
