Unleash Your RAM Truck's Potential: Complete Australian Off-Road Upgrade Guide
The RAM truck lineup has earned legendary status among Australian enthusiasts for good reason. With their bold styling, impressive towing capacity, and robust American engineering, RAM trucks are built to handle serious work and adventure. But Australia's unique conditions demand more than just factory specifications. At Ultimate Offroad, we specialise in transforming your RAM truck into the ultimate Australian adventure machine.
Whether you've got a RAM 1500 for weekend getaways, a RAM 2500 for heavy-duty work, or a RAM 3500 for serious towing duties, we have the expertise and premium components to unlock your truck's full potential for Australian conditions.
Why Your RAM Needs Australian Upgrades
RAM trucks are engineered tough, but Australia presents challenges that even these American giants weren't specifically designed for. Our extreme heat, abrasive dust, corrugated roads, and vast distances between services require thoughtful modifications. The good news? The RAM platform's robust construction makes it an exceptional foundation for serious upgrades.
Suspension & Lift Kits: Commanding Presence, Superior Performance
Your RAM's suspension is the cornerstone of both capability and comfort. We offer suspension solutions that enhance your truck's already impressive stance while dramatically improving performance.
Lift Kit Solutions for Every RAM Model
- 2-4 inch levelling kits to eliminate factory rake and accommodate larger tyres
- 4-8 inch lift systems for maximum ground clearance and aggressive stance
- Heavy-duty coil spring upgrades for RAM 1500 models
- Leaf spring enhancements for RAM 2500/3500 heavy-duty applications
- Air suspension conversions for ultimate adjustability
Premium Shock Absorber Options
We install only the finest shock absorbers to complement your RAM's capabilities:
- King Shocks for race-proven performance and infinite adjustability
- Fox Racing Shocks for bulletproof reliability in harsh conditions
- Bilstein for smooth daily driving with excellent load handling
- Old Man Emu for Australian-tuned ride characteristics
Revolutionary Liquid Spring Technology
Take your RAM to the next level with Liquid Spring compressible liquid suspension systems - the most advanced suspension technology available today.
Why Liquid Spring is Perfect for RAM Trucks:
- Variable spring rates that automatically adapt to your RAM's load
- Superior towing stability maintaining level stance under any load
- Unmatched ride quality whether empty or fully loaded
- Temperature-stable performance unlike air suspension systems
- Reduced maintenance with fewer components than traditional setups
- Increased payload capacity without sacrificing comfort
RAM-Specific Benefits: The substantial weight and towing capacity of RAM trucks make them ideal candidates for Liquid Spring technology. Whether you're hauling a heavy trailer, carrying work equipment, or driving empty, the system continuously optimises performance.
Your RAM's suspension upgrade will transform every aspect of your driving experience - from confident highway cruising to technical off-road navigation.
