What We Do for the Ford F-150

The F-150 is built for capability — but once you're towing, loading up the tray, or heading off-road through the South-West, the standard setup has its limits.

GVM Upgrades

Legally increase your maximum loaded vehicle weight with a certified Dobinsons kit. Full engineer certification for WA compliance included.

Suspension Lifts

Dobinsons lift kits to improve ground clearance, ride quality under load, and off-road capability. Specced for how you use the truck.

Suspension Servicing

Already running a lift or GVM kit? We service and inspect existing setups, replace worn components, and check alignment.

Signs You Might Be Due for an Upgrade

When your F-150 is loaded — full tray, tow ball weight, passengers, and gear — the factory suspension is working hard. A proper GVM upgrade affects braking, handling, tyre wear, and legal compliance.

Rear squats noticeably when loaded or towing
Ride quality has changed as use has increased
Approaching or exceeding your factory GVM
Want legal load capacity that matches reality
Tyre wear accelerating under load
Braking feels different when the ute is loaded

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Ford F-150 GVM upgrade cost?
Pricing depends on your current GVM, the increase needed, and whether you're combining with a suspension lift. Call or book a quote — we'll give you a clear number upfront.
Will a GVM upgrade affect my F-150's warranty?
GVM upgrades using certified Dobinsons components with engineer-signed paperwork are designed to be compliant with manufacturer warranty provisions. Check with your dealer if you have specific concerns.
How long does the install take?
Most GVM upgrades and suspension lifts are completed in a single day at our Busselton workshop.
Can I combine a GVM upgrade with a lift kit?
Yes. Many customers do both at once — it's more cost-effective and means the vehicle is only off the road once.
Do I need a separate inspection after the upgrade?
No. Our engineer-certified upgrades include all paperwork required for WA compliance.
