RAM 3500 (DJII) GVM Upgrade

*$200 Surcharge for NSW Accreditation

If you want to increase the GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) for your RAM 3500, then come check us out at SCD - we manage the whole process for you.

Each vehicle has been assigned an allocated gross vehicle mass (GVM). This is the maximum a vehicle can weigh when it is fully loaded. You need to factor not only the weight of the vehicle, but everything that is added to it including; passengers, fuel, accessories, cargo, tools, tray body and also the tow ball load that is applied by a boat, caravan or camper trailer.

If you exceed the limits that is set by the Australian Design Rules (ADR) approval process, you could receive a costly fine and possibly void your insurance, plus it's also dangerous to be driving an overloaded vehicle.

To stay safe on the road, our engineers have a process to upgrade your GVM which will allow your vehicle to carry more weight.

We upgrade the suspension and run some thorough tests to meet the minimum ADR safety requirements. We then put on an upgraded Compliance Plate which then allows you to re-register your vehicle with the new, increased GVM.

The GVM upgrade will take the RAM 3500 from 5.3t to 5.8t giving you an extra 500kg of payload.

• SCD 2" Lift Suspension Upgrade
