mounted on top of the bar, providing peace of mind and ease of access. The TAG XR Towbar includes an Extreme Duty Drop Hitch in a matching powder-coat finish and TAG Towbar’s Zinc Tow Ball to reduce corrosion and wear. Rated at 3500kg towing capacity/350kg ball weight, the kit comes with high quality Pin and Clip and D-Shackles for performance and reliability across the whole system.

The bars are a Three-Piece bolt-on design for ease of fitment, only requiring one person to install.

Raw 4x4 knows that Australia’s unforgiving terrain is some of the most diverse and demanding in the world and says that it is essential that every 4x4 is equipped with the right suspension components to tackle these conditions. It explains that the technology used to design and develop Raw 4x4 shock absorbers and struts

The Raw 4x4 brand was created by Powerdown, which has been designing and developing suspension components for the heavy commercial vehicle industry since 1983. Raw 4x4 says its engineering team, based in Beresfield, New South Wales, is dedicated to researching and developing shock absorbers and suspension components, with some of the most advanced testing facilities in Australia; including one of the largest dynamometers in the country; accurately measuring the dampening capabilities of a shock absorber.

Raw 4x4 designs and develops a complete range of heavy duty suspension equipment to survive the toughest of conditions; with the range offering multiple leaf, coil springs and shock absorber options; to design the perfect package to suit load carrying and ride handling needs.
Raw 4x4 explains that upgrading suspension is essential for vehicles that have been fitted with load bearing aftermarket accessories, travelling prolonged periods on corrugated tracks, or for customers who want to improve the performance of their 4WD.
