There’s no denying the dinosaur in the room, the 4×4 suspension industry. Yep, there, I said it! Since the dawn of time, there have been plenty of brands having a crack at creating unique and game-changing suspension components. Sadly, only a handful of 4×4 suspension brands have truly cut through the rest. One of those has consistently been TJM.
What I’m about to tell you is something extremely exciting, and not just for young guns like myself. If you tow, if you tour, if you tackle the toughest tracks in Australia, it doesn’t matter. The new TJM XGS range is ready for whatever you can throw at it.
Suspension is responsible for not just how tough your vehicle looks, but also how it performs on and offroad. The TJM XGS suspension puts an end to the era of one-size-fits-all suspension. With revolutionary technology that will enhance your driving experience unlike just about anything else, this new suspension by TJM will let you handle anything.
The XGS range combines over 40 years of technical experience and years of research to bring you reimagined suspension components that will put an end to 4x4s that handle poorly.
The Range: XGS Roamer
This is the Swiss army knife of the XGS range, the ‘all-rounder’ if you will. This heavy-duty inspired twin-tube shock has an 18mm hard-chromed piston within a 40mm bore tube. If you’re using your 4×4 for tough off-roading or you pull a heavy caravan, you’ll reap the rewards of this upgraded shock.
The improved dampening offered by this upgraded shock will leave you comfortable and confident. Whilst the multi-stage velocity-controlled valving ensures your rig can dynamically adapt to any terrain you find yourself in.
The Range: XGS Rugged
This is where the TJM XGS suspension range starts to get serious and I mean, really serious. If you’re wanting to push the limits of what your 4×4 can do, then you’ll not only want, but you’ll need the XGS Rugged range.
These massive, super strong mono-tube shocks don’t just provide premium performance but are tough enough to cope with absolutely anything. The massive 52mm piston-bore means you have hugely improved dampening when compared to the XGS rugged or other shocks on the market, with a focus around shock-fade elimination. Coupling the massive bore with 40-75mm of trimmable lift height means you’re left with one hell of a suspension setup.
The Range: XGS Remote
Game-changing features, hard-core design, and a driving experience that you’ve never experienced before. The TJM XGS Remote is the top-of-the-range shock option with all the technology you would expect from a performance-orientated offroad suspension part. You have the same 52mm mono-tube design as the XGS Rugged but with one huge difference. The XGS Remote has an external reservoir that doubles the oil capacity.
This means vastly improved dampening and the ability for the shock to keep cooler for longer. As we all know, heat is the biggest enemy of a shock absorber. One thing that really has us excited is the XGS Remote patented inbuilt hydraulic bump-stop. What this means is that you have maximum dynamic dampening in your 4×4 in the instance of bottoming out at high speeds or when you’re towing fully loaded and the suspension is compressed. The XGS Remote range also has hand-adjustable dials which allow you to easily change the rebound and compression of the XGS Remote shocks. In basic terms, you can adjust how soft and firm the suspension is and the rate at which it reacts to bumps.
The Range: XGS Upper Control Arms
If you thought TJM stopped their innovation at the lift kits, you have another thing coming. Introducing the XGS adjustable upper control arms. These strong and adjustable arms allow you to fine-tune the castor and camber of the vehicle and, despite lifting the car, achieve optimal wheel alignment specs. TJM have also implemented a market-first design aspect and intertwined 3D CAD modelling to allow the most ball-joint clearance possible. So yes, you can run pretty much any aftermarket wheel your heart desires.
What does this all mean, well, you’ll be left with a car that handles well, tyres that won’t wear prematurely, and at the end of the day, a perfect wholistic kit for you.
The Range: XGS GVM Plus
For all of you in the crowd who have a heavy setup, tow often, or are just chasing a little bit of GVM breathing room, then the new TJM XGS GVM plus program is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. By combining leaf springs, the XGS coil springs and other premium TJM suspension components, you can increase the overall load-carrying capacity and keep your 4×4 legal.
Overall, we are super excited about the launch of this new TJM XGS range. It’s revolutionary, it’s technologically advanced, it’s hardcore and it’s going to wake up an otherwise sleepy industry!
Before you make a bold statements like this get some Bilstein shocks fitted to your vehicle. Most suspension places and “jurnos” don’t mention them. They want to stay in business.
