Key Points
- Three different types of suspension kits available
- GVM upgrades will also be offered
- XGS upper control arms also freshly released
It’s been three years in the making, but we can now announce that TJM is about to unleash its new ranges of XGS suspension kits, as well as GVM upgrades to suit a wide range of modern (and some old-school sweethearts) four-wheel drives.
These kits are about to hit the shelves, with the announcement they will available this month (November 2022) in TJM showrooms across the country.
XGS category manager, Justin Hettrick had this to say regarding the new range of XGS Suspensions by TJM Australia. “Since the start of 2019, our top priority as a business has been the expansion and reinvention of XGS. Not once did we move the goalposts or stray from our target of launching this revolutionary suspension range in 2022.”
“Our engineers and designers have worked tirelessly to create this new range of XGS suspension and accessories. With over 40 years in the suspension game, TJM have used this extensive knowledge and testing to deliver a massively improved, cutting-edge range that is packed with groundbreaking technology, market-firsts and premium resources,” he adds.
“And now, with the imminent launch just around the corner, this updated and improved range is about to redefine the entire aftermarket suspension industry.”
Speaking of the range, there are four categories of suspension offered in the XGS line-up. Let’s take a closer look at what makes them tick, and to see which kit would best suit your needs.
XGS Roamer
The XGS Roamer suspension kits have been designed with ‘the all-rounder’ in mind, think the weekend warrior that uses their 4WD during the week for the daily commute, but wants a strong suspension package for off-roading on the weekends and long-distance touring on holidays.
Comprised of nitrogen twin-tube shock absorbers, with an 18mm hard-chromed piston rod and 40mm piston bore, as well as multi-stage velocity-controlled valving designed to allow these shock absorbers to dynamically adapt to changes in terrain while in use.

XGS Rugged
Taking things up a level, is the XGS Rugged with the heart of this kit being a mono-tube construction shock absorber which TJM tells us delivers a superior high-end ride quality as well as virtually eliminating shock fade over harsh corrugations. This shock absorber features a massive 52mm piston bore, adjustable front struts as well as multi-stage velocity-controlled valving which helps when hauling heavy loads on-and-off road.
XGS Remote
The top-of-the-line new release from the new XGS range, is the XGS Remote which TJM tells us is packed full of ground-breaking technology and premium materials. It features the same 52mm piston as found in the XGS Rugged range, but takes things to the next level with the introduction of a remote reservoir doubling the oil-carrying capacity of the shock absorber. More oil in a shock absorber means better shock damping potential as well as shock absorber durability.
Every XGS Remote shock absorber also features a patented inbuilt hydraulic bump-stop, providing a progressive feel when compressing the shock absorber at high speeds, resulting in a much better ride when fully loaded and driving over corrugations or bumps at speed.
The final piece of the puzzle for the XGS Remote range, is the fact this shock absorber is fully adjustable and features 8-stage compression and rebound damping dials to customise the ride quality you need to suit your vehicle and the terrain you drive. This allows you to set not only how fast your suspension compresses but also the extension rate of the shock absorber after compression. Adjustment is as easy as turning a dial, so you can really play with this system to find a setting that best works for your need and the loads you are carrying.

XGS GVM Plus
As well as offering three different ranges of suspension lift kits, XGS is also offering GVM upgrades under the XGS GVM Plus banner. XGS GVM Plus kits have been engineered to increase the legal load-carrying capacity of your 4WD, while still offering enhanced ride quality on-and off road. XGS GVM Plus kits will come complete with all required components, such as leaf springs, XGS coil springs made from X5K spring steel, and all bushings and accessories required for a complete installation.
XGS Upper Control Arms
In the interest of offering a complete suspension package, XGS has also announced the release of its own upper control arms. These arms have been designed to solve wheel alignment issues after raising a vehicle by providing up to three-degrees of additional castor and camber, so you can really dial in correct suspension geometry when having the vehicle wheel aligned after the lift kit is installed.
The XGS upper control arms have been built using the latest in 3D CAD (computer aided design) techniques, with the aim of occupying the same or as similar as possible footprint as the standard OE upper control arm originally found in your vehicle, with the added benefit of correct geometry and ball joint location to work best with the XGS lift kits. TJM tells us its XGS upper control arm design prevents against the rim fitted to the vehicle rubbing on the arm, as they have been designed to offer as much clearance as possible and tested with a wide range of aftermarket wheels to prove this point.
Kits and Pricing
