Pedders GVM+ upgrades

Over the years, Pedders has concentrated its efforts in the 4×4 space, innovating in the towing and load-carrying segment. Pedders is one of the early adopters of Gross Vehicle Mass Upgrades and now offers Australia’s largest range of Federal Government-approved GVM+ Upgrade solutions with over 30 different popular vehicles supported by the Pedders GVM+ Upgrade program.

Pedders GVM+ Upgrades are also configurable to suit the individual customers needs with constant load, variable and heavy-duty spring options available across the range. Each Pedders GVM+ Upgrade also includes the brand’s Foam Cell technology shock absorbers which is designed for off-road performance and on-road comfort.

Pedders Foam Cell Shock Absorbers feature an extra-large bore and piston design, compared to the original Shock Absorber supplied with the vehicle. The larger size of the Foam Cell Shock Absorber provides a dramatically increased oil capacity for greater ride control and comfort.

This enhanced design improves off-road performance and provides a smoother ride over rough terrain. The Foam Cell technology virtually eliminates shock fade by avoiding the aeration of the shock absorber fluid which ensures optimum damping control in all conditions and enhanced temperature control.

Pedders brake upgrades

If you tow or carry heavy loads with your 4×4 then upgrading your brakes should definitely be a consideration! Adding weight to your vehicle increases your stopping distance and places additional stress on your vehicle’s braking components which can cause them to wear out more quickly or underperform with hard use.

Pedders has developed a range of 4×4 brake upgrade components that are designed to handle additional load and boost braking performance.

Pedders rear drum to disc conversion

With a Pedders Rear Drum to Disc Conversion kits, the vehicle’s braking system benefits from increased stopping power, improved brake pedal feel and reduced stopping distances.

Disc brakes are completely self-adjusting and have fewer moving parts, and it takes longer for the disc brake to experience brake fade, because they have a wider surface area that is directly exposed to air. If you’re driving off-road and through creeks, disc brakes drain water quickly whereas once water and grit enters a drum brake, it stays inside the drum hindering braking efficiency.

Pedders Rear Drum to Disc Conversion kits include everything you need to convert from old-tech drums to superior discs and calipers.

• Isuzu D-Max 2012-2020 & 2020+

Pedders big brake kit

For those that want their 4×4 to stop like a sports car, Pedders offers a seriously impressive Big Brake kit which is a bolt-on, high-performance brake upgrade package.

Featuring a monster six-pot brake caliper design, enlarged slotted and Geomet-coated brake rotors, stainless-steel braided hoses and high-tech Kevlar Ceramic Brake Pads, this brake upgrade has been proven to dramatically reduce stopping distances compared to the original equipment and reduce brake fade after repeated hard braking.

Pedders performance rotors and pads

The Pedders range of performance 4×4 brake rotors and pads are a great solution for upgrading your rig’s brake system when it comes time to replace your worn out pads and rotors.

Pedders offers a range of Slotted and Geomet-coated brake rotors for 4x4s with improved cooling performance thanks to the unique slotted design, while the Geomet-coating provides anti-corrosion protection.

Pedders Kevlar Ceramic 4×4 Brake Pads are another simple yet effective upgrade that offers improved temperature control over standard brake pads so you can rely on them under heavy braking when the vehicle is towing or carrying heavy loads.

Pedders LoadRyder Onboard Scales

Pedders’ innovative LoadRyder Onboard Scales system provides real-time payload-monitoring capability to a range of popular load-carrying vehicles, displaying accurate vehicle weight metrics to the driver. The system features model-specific calibration to alert the driver when their vehicle is overloaded and beyond its GVM limit.

The in-car display shows front and rear axle loads, Gross Vehicle Mass and available Payload – so you don’t have to stop at a weigh bridge to know your vehicle weights!
