If you are located in WA and need quality upgrades to your pre- or post-registration Toyota LandCruiser or Dodge Ram, you have come to the right place.
You may be looking for increased load or towing capacity, and better driving performance for your 4WD through a GVM/GCM upgrade, coil conversion or chassis extension.
Swank is Perth's only authorised JMACX installer for coil conversions, chassis extensions and 6x6 conversions.
We offer JMACX upgrade packages to 70, 200 and 300 Series LandCruisers and Dodge Ram 1500 DT and DS Pickups. All 200 Series and 6x6 coil conversion packages are designed and certified through Australian Expedition Vehicles.
There are many choices and options to ensure your upgraded vehicle meets your requirements and remains safe and legal.
We are here to guide you through the process.
Often the first reason for upgrading a recreational or work vehicle is to increase the maximum weight the vehicle can safely and legally carry or tow.
The maximum total weight a fully loaded vehicle can safely and legally carry is known as its 'Gross Vehicle Mass'. The maximum total weight of the vehicle and its trailer is referred to as its 'Gross Combination Mass'.
A vehicle's maximum legal GVM and GCM rating is calculated, tested and certified by its manufacturer.
Driving an overloaded vehicle is not only dangerous for its driver and other road users, but also causes mechanical failure not covered by warranty, as well as legal and insurance issues.
To increase the GVM and GCM of a vehicle, there are many parts that need to be replaced or modified. Many additional factors need to be considered such as suspension systems, axle and wheel load capacity, as well as modification to the vehicle's electrical and braking systems.
Swank performs GVM/GCM upgrades using engineered solutions from JMACX, that when installed correctly from an authorised and experienced JMACX installer are legally certified.
Packages are available for Toyota LandCruiser 70, 200 and 300 Series, and Dodge Ram 1500 DT and DS Pickups. Many customer will choose packages that also include coil conversions and chassis extensions.
All 200 Series upgrades are designed and certified through Australian Expedition Vehicles.
See the JMACX website for full package details.
Another popular upgrade to 4WD vehicles is the conversion of its standard manufacture suspension parts into an advanced leaf or coil spring suspension system.
These advanced suspension systems provide smoother onroad handling, and better offroad performance with increased ground clearance. This provides comfort to an otherwise rugged work vehicle.
As authorised installers of JMACX coil conversion packages, Swank can simply swap out your LandCruiser's factory suspension, or at the same time extend or even upgrade the vehicle chassis.
As the industry leader giving you the strongest coil conversion in the market, JMACX packages will always maintain the manufacturers original brake towing capacity.
Many customers also choose to carry out a GVM/GCM upgrade at the same time as a coil conversion. See the JMACX website for all options and full package details.
All 200 Series and 6x6 coil conversion packages are designed and certified through Australian Expedition Vehicles.

In addition to GVM/GCM upgrades and coil conversions, many customers will extend the length of their vehicle chassis.
The standard weight distribution of a vehicle is very rear heavy. This gives poor off-road performance, especially when a vehicle is under heavy load.
By moving back the position of the rear axle, a vehicle's load distribution is shared more evenly with the front axle. This upgrade will improve vehicle drive handling and provide a smoother more comfortable ride.
An extended chassis will also allow greater tray space.
Extensions are done by cutting the existing chassis and spreading it apart, or replacing it altogether. The tail shaft, wiring, brake and fuel lines is also then extended.
The parts for chassis extensions are also provided by JMACX packages. With many customers opting to combine them with GVM/GCM upgrades and coil conversions.
All 6x6 chassis extension packages are designed and certified through Australian Expedition Vehicles.
