4x4 Suspension and Lift Kits — Gold Coast & Tweed
4x4 suspension upgrades and lift kits across the Gold Coast and Tweed. If your 4WD sags under load, wallows behind a van or crashes over corrugations, the suspension is the fix.
4x4 Suspension & Lift Kits done properly, the first time
Factory 4WD suspension is tuned for an empty vehicle on a smooth road. Add a bull bar, a canopy, drawers, water, a rooftop tent and a van on the back, and the springs are past their useful range before you have left the driveway. That shows up as a nose-high stance, poor steering feel, bottoming out on dirt roads and a tail that moves around under braking. Upgraded suspension restores the vehicle's designed geometry with the load it actually carries — the single biggest safety and comfort improvement available to a touring 4x4.

Choosing the Right Suspension for Your Load
The most important number in a suspension job is not the amount of lift, it is the constant load the vehicle carries. Springs are rated for weight, and a spring chosen for a bare vehicle will sag under a loaded canopy just as surely as a spring rated too heavy will ride like a cart when empty. We weigh up your permanent accessories, your typical touring load and your tow ball download before we select anything.
A quality kit is a package: springs, shocks, bump stops and the correction parts that keep steering and driveline angles right after a lift. Skimp on the shocks and you get a vehicle that lifts nicely and handles badly. We fit complete, matched kits and align the vehicle afterwards.
Lift Kits Done Properly
A 2-inch lift gives most 4WDs better clearance, better approach and departure angles and room for larger tyres, without the compliance headaches and driveline problems that come with going higher. But raising a vehicle changes castor, driveshaft angles, brake line lengths and steering geometry — and ignoring those is how a lifted 4x4 ends up with vague steering and vibration.
We fit lifts with the correction components included, check brake lines and driveshaft angles, replace tired bushes at the same time while access is easy, and finish with a proper wheel alignment and a road test.
"Great Service. Cleanest workshop I've ever seen. Mick was straight-up, no BS and really helped me sort out a long term idle hunting issue, adjusted the fuelling and now my 80series is running like a dream. I'm heading back in a few weeks for injectors and a fuel pump rebuild. Highly recommend."
— Mitchel Smith
"Mick and the team at Coastal Diesel were great to deal with. The service and installing King suspension on my Isuzu NPS truck was top notch."
— Sam Schoeller
"Was looking around for a solid while for someone to do a front swivel hub rebuild on my 80 Series Land Cruiser. Contacted a young fella named Riley and he managed to book it in for me with close to no notice and got it all done on a Thursday afternoon! Would 100% recommend Coastal Diesel Solutions to anyone in need of professional, talented, fair-priced repairs. 5 stars without a doubt! Solid work team 👏"
— Andrew Bower
"Had issues with my car going into limp mode. Been to multiple mechanics, no one could fix it. One of my mates said to go to Coastal Diesel and they didn't disappoint — they did a great job!"
— Radharaman Beresford
"Highly recommend. Fixed an ongoing problem with a power issue related to the turbo and fuel delivery. So much care in his work, very knowledgeable without the BS. I'll be trusting all future services and mechanical issues to Coastal Diesel Solutions."
— Janaka Peterson

"Highly recommended. Dropped everything to sort a fuel issue we had with our 4WD whilst we were on holidays 1100 km from home."
— Lindsay Wallace
"Coastal Diesel did a major service and fuel system recondition to my newly restored 75 Cruiser. It runs like a dream and safe to say after a week at Fraser Island she has been put to the test. Nice to see decent workmanship is still around. Thanks to Mick and the team, I know where I'll be spending my money. Cheers!"
— Frank Waite
"Couldn't ask for better help. Mick is a top mechanic with a great personality. Don't bother wasting your money elsewhere!"
— Aaron Fairfull
"My 2013 diesel had been sick for a long time and many non-diesel mechanics charged a lot but couldn't fix it. Mick returned my call on his Christmas holidays and made time to check my car was safe to drive until he could book it in. He's kind, honest, reliable and genuinely professional — sent photos, kept me informed, and definitely won't rip you off. Turned out to be a cracked hose and solidified soot in the pipes. Now she purrs along with no smell and dramatically better fuel economy. If you have a diesel, you need a diesel specialist — and Mick is THE diesel specialist."
— Donna Dibben
"These guys installed a new engine in my Ford Transit when no Ford dealership would help. I'm now ready to take it back for its 1000 km check-up and can't find anything to complain about. Well done boys."
— Norm Morrow
