Durashock is the result of years of meticulous research and design, intensive testing, development and experimentation. As Australia’s leading drivetrain specialists, it’s the 4WD suspension and GVM upgrade that we’ve always envisioned for our clients – and ourselves.
Our Durashock range of suspension components includes shock absorbers, springs, 4WD lift kits and our latest offering of SMART GVM Upgrade kits.

Our unique insight drawn from over 30 years of experience with 4×4 drivetrains, proficiently equips us with the unmatched capability to build remarkable suspension systems due to understanding the importance of the critically influential relationship between the balance of a vehicle’s driveline (our area of expertise) and its suspension components.

Ruggedness Built-In
Built to last in the harshest of Australian conditions, these products are fully designed and tested in-house and off-road to ensure they meet our exacting quality standards and are suited to a comprehensive range of vehicles.
As you know, there are few environments in the world that are as imposing and hostile as the Australian outback. If our products can withstand and perform in these conditions (which we make sure they do!), then you can be confident that they’ll endure almost anything that you put them through. With Durashock, ruggedness is not a feature- it is in its foundation.
Custom-designed for Heavy Use
Driveline works closely with a number of recreational, fleet and Australian mine operators to create a range of high quality and cost-effective 4WD suspension components for these markets. Vehicles operating in these industries frequently face gruelling conditions, requiring suspension components that not only withstand these punishing environments, but conquer them. Our custom 4WD suspension components, GVM Upgrades and 4×4 kits are designed specifically for heavy duty use, constantly performing through the intense pressure and rigorous grind that these work environments are known for.
After all, when you’re working in some of the most demanding industries in the world, you need 4×4 suspension components that can take the pressure and push back. You need Durashock.

Our SMART System
Properly increasing your vehicle’s gross vehicle mass (GVM) is notoriously difficult. Throughout our 30+ years in the Australian automotive industry, we’ve noticed that most upgrades tend to be compromises rather than actual solutions. When it comes to increasing your vehicle’s load potential, most typical upgrades provide it at the expense of safety and performance. To us, this is simply unacceptable.
That’s why we set out to design and create our own line of GVM upgrades and shock absorbers. From the beginning, we were committed to producing an upgrade that was different from the rest of the market. And that’s exactly what we created, thanks to Durashock’s SMART System leading our design. SMARTS stands for:
Durashock provides one of the largest federally approved gross vehicle mass upgrades for Toyota four wheel drives currently on the market. Featuring model dependent increases of up to 600kg, Durashock SMART GVMs can legally help your vehicle carry more. It’s the ideal solution for maximising your vehicle’s weight capacity while staying within legal limits. Strong yet agile, maxed out yet controlled – these are the qualities that our Durashock Smart GVM system offers your vehicle.
High lifts, when unladen, are the norm with most GVM upgrade packages. However, these lifts alter the vehicle’s centre of gravity, reducing its handling, performance and safety. It also makes it harder to load and unload. Durashock, however, is specifically designed to minimise vehicle lift. And unlike most typical upgrades, Durashock won’t radically change your vehicle’s height. Instead, you get maximum load capacity with minimum lift.
With unladen increases of just 25-50mm in most instances, our SMART GVM Upgrades sit lower, retain a lower centre of gravity, and remain easier to load and unload than all other upgrades on the market.
The extreme loads placed upon GVM upgrade packages require coil and leaf springs to be heavier, stiffer, and often larger-than-standard factory components. This often results in harsh, unforgiving rides, particularly when the vehicle is driven unladen. Durashock SMART GVM upgrades have been purposely designed to deliver maximum load carrying capabilities with passenger friendly ride and handling characteristics, regardless of whether the vehicle is loaded or not. This way, you get a smoother ride and better control of your vehicle, even with a modified suspension system.
Durashock SMART GVM’s class-leading load carrying capability, minimal height increase, and all-around comfort come together to create an upgrade package that offers better driver and occupational health & safety benefits than any other GVM product on the market. These benefits include:
- Reduced chance of overloading
- Lower centre of gravity
- Reduced chance of rollover in emergency situations
- Lower tray, door, tailgate and sill heights
- Reduced chance of manual handling injuries
- All-around comfort
- Reduced driver stress and fatigue
At Driveline, we know that all the improvements in your system mean nothing if it won’t translate into real-world benefits. That’s why we’ve made sure that Durashock’s features result in benefits that you and your drivers can feel.
Durashock SMART GVM upgrades are the only GVM upgrades tested and approved by the Federal Department of Transport and Road Safety Standards to feature SMART design.
