Supporting Heavy Loads
At Gold Coast Service Centre, we understand that many drivers use their
vehicles for daily commuting and occasionally need to carry heavy loads.
To ensure your vehicle remains safe, stable, and comfortable in both
scenarios, we offer RoadActive Suspension (RAS)—a system designed to
enhance your vehicle's performance when hauling heavy loads while
maintaining everyday driving comfort.
Key Benefits of Road Active Suspension for Occasional Heavy Loads
Enhanced Load Handling: RAS integrates powerful coil tension
springs with your vehicle's existing leaf springs, supporting them by
maintaining their original bowed position. When a heavy load is applied,
RAS immediately absorbs the force, distributing the weight more evenly
across the suspension. This results in improved handling and stability,
even when carrying substantial loads.
Reduced Rear Squat: Occasional heavy loads can cause your
vehicle's rear to squat, affecting handling and safety. RAS addresses
this by supporting the rear leaf springs, maintaining a level stance,
and ensuring optimal weight distribution. This leads to improved
stability and control during those times when you're carrying extra
weight.
Improved Ride Quality: Unlike traditional helper springs or other
suspension aids that can lead to a harsher ride when the vehicle is
unloaded, RAS maintains, and often enhances, ride comfort regardless of
the load. This ensures that your vehicle remains comfortable to drive
daily, even when not carrying heavy loads.
Reduced Axle Wrap and Wheel Hop: High torque during acceleration
and deceleration can cause axle wrap and wheel hop, leading to uneven
tire wear and drivetrain stress. RAS mitigates these issues by
stabilizing the leaf springs, promoting smoother acceleration and
braking, and extending the lifespan of your vehicle's components.
Customer Testimonials
"I installed it on my '19 F150 Platinum max tow to pull a 4500#
trailer. The ride quality is great with and without the trailer."
— F150 Owner
"The ride is unreal compared to before....it stops better, feels way
more sure-footed through the corners and rough roads, drastically
reduced rear end sway." —
F150 EcoBoost Owner
Why Choose RAS Over Other Suspension Upgrades?
RAS offers a comprehensive solution by combining the benefits of helper
springs, sway bars, and traction bars at a fraction of the cost. Unlike
airbag systems that require regular maintenance and adjustments, RAS is
maintenance-free and provides consistent performance without the need
for manual intervention. This makes it an ideal choice for drivers who
occasionally carry heavy loads but don't want to compromise their
vehicle's everyday ride quality.
