From the factory, many utes carry a significant amount of weight over or in front of the rear axle. This can impact the balance of the vehicle, causing a harsh ride, poor handling, and in extreme cases, even chassis fatigue. Extending the chassis moves the rear axle further back, providing a more balanced setup that helps with stability, ride quality, and overall performance on and off the road.

If you’re planning on installing a heavy-duty tray, a canopy with a full touring setup, or loading up with work gear, a chassis extension ensures your ute can handle it all with ease. Better weight distribution means better handling on the road and more confidence when tackling tough terrain.
