Australia’s terrain is some of the most diverse and demanding in the world, which is why it is essential your 4x4 is equipped with the right suspension components.

If you are considering fitting aftermarket accessories, traveling prolonged periods on corrugated tracks or just want to improve the performance of your 4WD you need to upgrade your suspension.

RAW4x4 have designed and developed a complete range of heavy duty suspension equipment to survive the toughest of conditions. Our range includes off road Shock Absorbers, Suspension Kits, polyurethane bushes and torsion bars.

Shock absorbers

Shock absorbers are an essential piece of equipment if you are planning any off road exploration. RAW 4x4 offer a range of shock absorbers suitable for the occasional recreational enthusiast up to the heavily loaded work horse.

RAW 4x4 shock absorbers have been designed and developed using some of the most advanced testing facilities in Australia and 25 years of experience in the suspension industry. Each shock absorber has been valved accordingly to a particular vehicle and suspension type to provide a controlled and comfortable ride.

Suspension Kits

COIL SPRINGS

When traveling off road over long distances load bearing accessories such as a bull bar, winch and a long range fuel tank are essential pieces of equipment for you to return home safely. All of these types of accessories add weight to the vehicle, where the original equipment coils were never designed to carry this type of weight.
A set of RAW 4x4 coil springs will significantly improve the ability of your 4x4 to carry this additional weight whilst enhancing the vehicles performance in terms of stability, load carrying and towing capabilities.
RAW 4x4 springs have been manufactured using the following high quality processes:

• Formed on precision mandrels

• State of the art heat treatment

• Shot peened

• Fully scragged and load tested

• Powder coated finish

By matching your coil springs with a set of RAW 4x4 shock absorbers, you gain the advantage of having a fully integrated suspension system.

LEAF SPRINGS

Leaf springs not only support the weight of your vehicle but position the vehicles axle and act as a torque rod to stop “axle wrap” upon acceleration.  It is important that you choose a leaf spring that is suitable for your application.
RAW 4x4 leaf springs have been designed to achieve the best possible ride for your 4x4 whilst increasing your ride height, improving overall suspension travel.

Made from high quality steel, RAW 4x4 springs include the following features:

• Military Wrapped Eyes for extra safety in the instance of a main leaf breaking

• Drawn tapered & diamond cut leaves to aid in load distribution over a larger surface area

• Scrag testing ensures the spring takes a permanent set, reducing the chances of the leaves sagging

• Inter leaf anti friction liners between the springs leaves to reduce friction and improve ride comfort

• Two stage leaf pack for additional support when the vehicle is heavily laden.

Please note: The above feature are represented as an example, some springs in our range may not have all of the above features.

TORSION BARS

RAW 4x4 torsion bars are larger in diameter in most instances than the original bar, providing an increase in spring rate of approximately 25%. This will dramatically improve the on and off road performance of your 4WD giving a more comfortable ride as the larger bar will not allow the vehicle to hit the bump stops.
When matched with RAW 4x4 coils or leaf springs and shock absorbers the components will work together to improve the off road capabilities of your vehicle.

POLYURETHANE BUSHES

Polyurethane bushes offer a longer service life than their rubber equivalents combining a blend of unique polymers to offer a higher level of wear resistance to extreme temperatures, salt water and petrochemicals.
RAW 4x4 polyurethane bushes have a high level of memory, meaning when twisted or compressed out of shape they will return to their original design parameters. Nor will they change their hardness (durometer) under the most adverse conditions which makes them perfect for off road use.

SHACKLES, PIN KITS & U–BOLTS

To complete our suspension kits, where applicable they include U – Bolts, greasable shackles and pins so that the job is done properly. If you are going to upgrade your suspension why reuse old componentry which can lead to premature wear or failure of your new suspension components.
