After more years in the suspension business than just about any company on the planet, Pedders have learned a thing or two about how we use our vehicles – and how to make them as versatile as possible. Australia is famous for having some of the harshest conditions: from the relentless heat and dust of the outback to the tropical climate in the north to the cities and beaches in the south. Developing a suspension system which can conquer all of these conditions and more, whether laden or unladen, whether on the school run or tackling corrugated desert trails, is no mean feat – and this is where having decades of experience and expertise are vital.

Having the wrong suspension setup can cause all manner of problems. As suspension gets old and tired, or when weight has been added to a vehicle for work or for leisure, it shows its weaknesses by sagging, wallowing over bumps, struggling to carry loads and increasing tyre wear and braking distances. Many of us are working beyond the limitations of our factory suspension by loading our vehicles heavily, towing trailers or caravans, going camping or green laning; there has never been a better time to feel the benefits of a complete replacement suspension kit.

With state-of-the-art production facilities across Australia, and with the benefit of having been a market leader for more than 70 years, Pedders have brought together their technical expertise and the economies of scale, to offer a wide range of high quality and dependable kits. Whether you are looking to improve appearance and stance, aiming to increase ground clearance for off-road action, using your vehicle for work, towing, or just looking for the on-road confidence of replacing your tired and worn suspension setup, you have come to the right place.

Selecting the right kit for your vehicle weight and usage is very important. Most standard vehicles, without extra permanent weight, will benefit most from a medium-rate setup. If you have permanent front or rear accessory weight such as steel bumpers, winches, etc, we you will need the correct parts to properly support the extra weight. Where a kit has a minimum weight rating, this is intended for constant weight which remains on the vehicle at all times and not for variable loads.

We are here to help you make the right choice, so do contact us if you have any questions.

Pedders Original Shock Absorbers
Pedders Original shock absorbers are a direct replacement for the OE factory dampers. They are built to provide durable damping for on road and moderate off-road use, while retaining factory handling characteristics. Pedders Original shocks are optimised for use with Pedders springs.

Air Assist Helper Airbag System
Pedders Air Assist Helper Airbag System improves the towing ability of the vehicle, as well as compensating for minor sagging in the rear associated with carrying weight. The Air Assist system also restricts bottoming-out when loaded or travelling over rough and uneven terrain. This addition is ideal for large weight changes, such as occasional or regular towing or carrying of heavy loads.

When used correctly, the Air Assist System can allow the vehicle to maintain correct ride height whilst retaining a comfortable ride. All parts are included as standard to facilitate installation with manual inflation; the user can then inflate the system easily using a foot pump, portable compressor, or at a petrol station.

Pedders only use Firestone airbags in their kits, which are widely regarded as the best and most durable airbags available.

Airbag Controller Kit
Pedders Airbag Controller Kits are available separately and give you the option to add an air compressor, in-cabin mounted pressure gauge and a pair of paddle switches for easy and accurate inflation and deflation of each airbag. A wireless remote control option is also available. See our other products for details.
