Suspension springs with axle load certification for your winter service vehicle

Winter service equipment usually adds extra weight to most vehicles, leading to situations where the factory-permitted axle loads are temporarily or permanently exceeded when the equipment is installed (see also: www.bussgeld-info.de/achslast). For some models, it is sufficient to replace the front axle springs (e.g., for 3.5t pickups), while for others, both the front and rear springs are replaced, allowing the axle loads of the front and rear axles as well as the permissible total weight to be increased (e.g., for the SUZUKI JIMNY FJ). In some cases, both the springs and the corresponding shock absorbers are replaced (e.g., front axle springs & shock absorbers for Nissan Navara, or front & rear axle springs & shock absorbers for SUZUKI Jimny GJ).

FA = Front Axle | RA = Rear Axle | PTW = Permissible Total Weight

Features:

- Component certification included.
- Changes in the vehicle manufacturer's production may result in the offered parts unexpectedly not fitting your vehicle. In these (rare) cases, we disclaim any liability for damages or involvement in additional labor costs.
- Please compare the certificates yourself to ensure that your vehicle matches the specified application area (vehicle type / ABE & EG-BE number / trade name, etc.).
- in most certificates, the maximum speed is limited when a snowplow is attached.
- Despite the increased permissible axle loads, you are responsible for ensuring that your vehicle is evenly loaded (keyword: counterweight behind/on the rear axle) and that the permissible total weight is not exceeded.
