Where do you want to start?

WHAT YOU CAN BUY.

Six ways to upgrade your stance. Each one is designed, supplied and fitted in our Fraser Coast workshop, with alignment and compliance included.

SUSPENSION + WHEEL + TYRE PACKAGE

The most-requested build. We spec the suspension, wheels and tyres together so lift height, offset and tyre sizing all work as a system. Choose your truck, choose your use, and we package the hardware from brands like BDS, Fox, Method and Toyo into a single fitted price. No three separate quotes. No guessing what fits. One consult, one job, one workshop visit.

LIFT & LEVEL KITS (BDS, FOX)

2", 3", 4" and 6" lift kits for RAM, Silverado and F-150, using BDS and Fox components we are authorised to fit and certify. A level kit corrects the factory rake so the front and rear sit at equal height. A full lift adds ground clearance and changes the look significantly. Both options require a full alignment on completion, which is included in our pricing. Engineering certification is organised for lifts that require it under QLD modification rules.

AIRBAG SUSPENSION (TOWING & LOAD LEVELLING)

Airbag kits prevent rear sag when towing or carrying heavy loads, keep headlights aimed correctly and significantly improve towing stability on the highway. They work alongside your existing springs, not instead of them, and can be manually or electronically adjusted for load. Particularly popular on RAM 1500, Silverado 2500HD and F-250 setups used for caravanning or work. We supply and fit Airbag Man, Ironman 4x4 and similar quality kits suited to each platform.

UPGRADED SHOCKS & SPRINGS (FOX, CARLI, KINGS)

Factory shocks on American trucks are often undersized for Australian roads and loads. Upgraded shocks from Fox, Carli Suspension and Kings dramatically improve on-road composure, reduce body roll and extend service life. We match the shock specification to your use: daily driving, touring, towing or hard off-road. Paired with the right spring rate, an upgraded shock setup transforms how the truck feels in every condition without changing ride height.

WHEELS (METHOD RACE WHEELS)

Method Race Wheels are our preferred brand: purpose-built for lifted trucks, available in a wide range of diameters, offsets and finishes, and strong enough for anything from highway touring to hard off-road. We select offset and backspacing to suit your specific lift and tyre combination, so there is no rubbing and no need for spacers. We also carry a curated range of other wheel options to match budget and style, all selected to suit American truck bolt patterns and load ratings.

TYRES (ALL-TERRAIN & MUD-TERRAIN, PACKAGED TO SUIT)

We supply and fit a full range of all-terrain and mud-terrain tyres from Toyo, Nitto, BF Goodrich and Cooper, sized to match your lift height and wheel diameter. Tyre sizing for lifted American trucks needs to be done carefully: too large and the tyre rubs; too small and the lift looks wrong. We do the spec work upfront so you get the right tyre the first time, balanced, fitted and inflation-checked to suit the load. Tyre-only fitments are available, though we recommend packaging tyres with new wheels for best results.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY.

★★★★★

"Purchased a Scanguage iii after Cameron went out of his way to set it up and ensure it was operating correctly. The price was right and service excellent. I would recommend both them and the gauge for anyone towing a load"

Paul Clarke
★★★★★

"We were recently on holidays in the Burrum area, towing a 3t caravan. Our car started having issues and being Easter long weekend we were stressing about finding someone to look at it. Core Diesel were extremely prompt replying to messages and booked us in quicker than we expected. My husband was very impressed with the service provided and confident in the diagnostics and discussions had. 10/10 would recommend Core Diesel."

Lauren Kearney

"Best mechanical experience i have had without a doubt. The level of communication and workmanship was 10/10. Thanks again will definitely be using you guys in the future."

FAQ

SUSPENSION QUESTIONS WE GET EVERY WEEK.

Every package is priced to your truck, spec, lift height and tyre size. Use the builder on this page for a starting estimate, or call us and we'll send a written quote within 24 hours.
In QLD, vehicles can be lifted up to 50mm without engineering certification. Lifts over 50mm require a QLD heavy vehicle modification certificate. We organise certification as part of the build using authorised BDS and Fox components. We explain the compliance requirements for your specific truck and lift height before we quote, so you know exactly what is involved.
Yes, significantly. Airbag kits prevent rear sag when towing, keep headlights aimed correctly and improve towing stability at highway speeds. They are adjustable for load, which means the truck sits level whether you are towing a 3.5 tonne van or driving empty. They work alongside your existing springs, not instead of them, so the ride quality when unloaded is not compromised. Particularly popular on RAM 1500, Silverado 2500HD and F-250 setups used for serious caravanning or work.
A well-specced lift with quality shocks and a full alignment typically improves on-road composure compared to the worn or underspec factory setup. A poorly specced lift using cheap components will make things worse. We use authorised parts from BDS, Fox, Carli and Kings and include alignment in every suspension job. On warranty: suspension modifications can affect coverage on related components. We explain what is involved for your specific truck before we start so you can make an informed decision.
Yes, and this is how we prefer to work. Suspension, wheels and tyres need to be specced together: lift height determines tyre clearance, tyre diameter affects wheel offset requirements, and offset affects how the stance looks and handles. Packaging everything means we get the spec right across all three components in one shot. Method Race Wheels are our preferred brand. We also carry Toyo, Nitto, BF Goodrich and Cooper tyres in all-terrain and mud-terrain options. Wheels and tyres can also be fitted separately if you already have a completed suspension build.
