A GVM upgrade is essential if you’re adding accessories, towing, or carrying heavy loads. Exceeding your vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Mass can make it illegal to drive. Lovells GVM Upgrades provide certified kits that increase load-carrying capacity while meeting all legal compliance requirements. Engineered for popular 4WDs, utes and commercial vehicles, our GVM upgrades help you stay safe, legal and ready for anything.
Lovells GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) Upgrade Kits are engineered to increase your vehicle’s legal load- carrying capacity—improving safety, compliance, and capability. All components are tested and certified to meet ADR and state transport requirements. Kits include Lovells heavy-duty coil springs, leaf springs, shocks, and where required, other key components.
Select GVM kits also offer revised GCM (Gross Combined Mass) ratings for towing setups, helping you stay within legal limits while hauling big loads. Perfect for vehicles with caravans, toy haulers, or trade trailers. Learn more >

GVM Upgrades are available pre- registration (for new vehicles before rego) or post-registration (for vehicles already on the road), depending on your state or territory.
