Lift Kits & GVM Upgrades for the BYD Shark 6
Suspension built for how you actually load and use the vehicle.
A suspension upgrade on a BYD Shark 6 isn't just about ride height. It's about load management, ground clearance, and making the vehicle handle the way it should when it's carrying a full build.
Get it wrong and you're looking at a harsh ride, premature component wear, and potentially voided warranty claims. Get it right and the vehicle feels better every single day, loaded or empty, sealed road or rough track.

How MAKA Handles Suspension & GVM Upgrades
The BYD Shark 6 comes with a factory GVM rating that can become a legal issue once you’ve added a canopy, bull bar, suspension upgrade, and touring gear. A certified GVM upgrade increases your legal load rating, and it has to be done properly.
MAKA offers certified GVM upgrades that are designed, compliant, and fully documented. We manage the engineering certification, the paperwork, and the fitment, so you’re covered legally and practically.
Improved ground clearance for loaded and off-road use
Better load handling, reduced squat when towing or carrying
More consistent ride quality on unsealed roads
Correct suspension geometry maintained throughout
Certified GVM upgrades: designed, documented, compliant
Post-install QA check on every fitment
Not Sure Which Option Is Right for Your Build?

Tell us about your vehicle, how you use it, and your budget. A MAKA specialist will come back to you with a clear recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in a GVM upgrade?
A GVM upgrade legally increases how much your vehicle is allowed to carry. Once a bull bar, canopy, suspension and touring gear are on it, the factory Gross Vehicle Mass rating gets tight fast, and going over it puts you in breach. That applies whether you are running a BYD Shark 6, a Denza, or a Toyota, GWM (Great Wall) or Volkswagen PHEV. Our GVM upgrades include engineering certification, full documentation and compliant fitment, so you are covered legally and practically. We handle the paperwork end to end.
Which lift kit brands do you stock?
We stock Tough Dog, ARB, Ironman 4×4, and Bilstein lift kits, selected for load capacity and ground clearance on the platform they are going on, across the BYD Shark 6, Denza, Toyota, GWM (Great Wall) and Volkswagen PHEV range.
Can a lift kit or GVM upgrade be added to a full build package?
Yes. Lift kits and GVM upgrades feature in Tuff Tradie and The Everything, and can be added to any package where you’re planning to carry more weight than the standard setup allows.
Where are your lift kits and GVM upgrades fitted and certified?
Fitment and certification are handled at our Baringa, Queensland workshop, with ADR and QLD-compliant documentation provided as part of the job.
Can I get a lift kit fitted alongside other accessories?
Yes, a lift kit is commonly paired with a bull bar, wheels and tyres, or a full canopy and drawer setup. Tell us the full build and we’ll sequence the fitment correctly.
