Upgraded Heavy Duty Suspension
Armouring a Toyota Land Cruiser adds extra load to the base vehicle (1564 Kg Approx., which is 59% extra of the vehicle kerb weight), where the OEM suspension is not produced to operate this extra load. Then it is essential to install heavy-duty upgraded suspension kits to support the extra weight when armoured.
Base Vehicle
Kerb Weight: 2637.64 kgGross Vehicle Weight: 3349.78 Kg
Armoured Vehicle
Kerb Weight: 4200. KgGross Vehicle Weight: 4912 Kg
The suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise.
It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact with the road surface as much as possible because all the road or ground forces acting on the vehicle do so through the contact patches of the tires.
MEVA offers a broad range of suspension kits for an up armoured Toyota land cruiser in respect to our customer’s requirement. Our Customers could choose the proper kit in accordance with the armoured vehicle usage and the drive terrain where it is likely to be deployed.
MEVA recommended upgraded suspension kits components
Coil Spring
Coil springs are compression springs and can differ greatly in strength and in size depending on application. An armoured vehicle’s coil spring suspension can be stiff to soft depending on the armouring level and drive terrain its used on.
Upgraded coil springs in armoured vehicles allow them to ride smoothly by compressing the spring and becomes stiff. This allows the vehicle to bounce less after armoured.
Shock Absorbers
The upgraded Shock Absorbers are designed and produced specifically for armoured vehicles with the armoring weight load beyond 5000 Kg, to increase load carrying capability and improve both vehicle handling and comfort across all drive terrains.
These shock absorbers are produced by carrying out the ride and handling analyses on un-laden and fully-laden armoured vehicles for stability and off-road capability.
Sway Bar
A sway bar is used to reduce body roll of an armoured vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities.
It is connected to opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms. A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction.
Jounce Stop
In an armoured vehicle, jounce stop is a compressible component intended to block the touch of metal on metal, when the suspension encounters excessive compression, like running into a bump or pothole.
The upgraded jounce stop delivers a safe and comfortable ride and serves as a damper providing a quiet shift to full compression as well as reduce sudden body sway and let the suspension work well.
Upgraded Brake System
MEVA offer upgraded brake solutions which are armoured application specific and engineered to ensure harmony with all OE electrical systems and fluid capacities providing excellent braking performance.
With the upgraded brake system, stopping distance is diminished by 25% with the same amount of pedal effort and zero brake fade.

Upgraded Tire
In our armoured Toyota land cruiser, it is recommended to use Light Truck-metric ("LT") tyres which are capable of carrying heavy cargo. Since we use 12 PR/ LT tyres, which is worldwide approved, certified and specially built for the armoured vehicles, MEVA armoured Toyota land cruiser is one among the world’s best up-armoured civilian vehicle.
The upgraded 12 PR LT tire is the only one in the armoured vehicle business with a comfortable ride experience and could load upto 1800 KG (single tire). This tire has a special engineered carcass tread structure which creates a wider foot print under heavy braking and impacts, resulting in an up to 25% shorter braking distance.
While choosing a tyre for an armoured vehicle, Load, Speed and Ply ratings are very significant dimensions to consider for maximum comfort and driving in different terrains.

These components are produced specifically to support the higher weight ratio of the armoured vehicle for a comfortable ride experience. Failure in upgrading any one of the below components in an armoured vehicle lead to less safety and road handling.
Both the drive handling and ride quality are maintained at odds with each other when upgraded by the heavy-duty raised suspension kit. With heavier vehicle loads and increased spring rates; upgraded suspensions are effective in controlling the spring and vehicle turn in, especially on an armoured vehicle.
It is highly recommended to have a frequent check-up to the upgraded suspension on an up- armoured vehicle to relay.
