Australian engineering heritage with a UK focus

Since 1950, Pedders Suspension has specialised in improving vehicle handling, braking and load carrying. Developed on tough Australian roads, their components have earned a reputation for durability and consistency. Today, their engineering focus benefits UK drivers who need reliability under load—from contractors towing trailers to weekend adventurers exploring the Lake District or Scottish Highlands.

Pedders’ success comes from treating every suspension system as a matched set—ensuring springs, shocks and bushings work together for balance, comfort and control. Each component is dynamometer tested for predictable response and ride quality.

Load, towing and ride comfort advantages

Unlike some aftermarket lifts aimed purely at off-road travel, Pedders designs its kits for real-world loads. UK users towing horseboxes, boats or work trailers benefit from controlled damping and reduced rear sag. Coil and leaf combinations are rated for comfort when empty yet maintain ride height under full payload.

Where other brands prioritise height or stiffness, Pedders keeps steering response and passenger comfort at the forefront. The result: a suspension system that feels planted at motorway speeds, stable on corners, and forgiving on rough lanes.
