A Formula 4x4 F4R lift kit is a fully engineered suspension upgrade designed to improve how a vehicle performs in real conditions. These 4wd lift kits are developed as matched systems, combining front and rear components that work together to enhance ride height, suspension travel, and vehicle stability.
As vehicles become heavier due to accessories such as bull bars, winches, canopies, and touring gear, factory suspension often struggles to maintain correct ride height and control. An F4R remote reservoir lift kit addresses these challenges by providing improved damping control, stronger components, and increased ground clearance.
Because suspension performance is never isolated, F4R lift kits are designed to integrate seamlessly into a complete 4x4 suspension setup. This ensures predictable handling on road while delivering confidence off road, whether navigating corrugations, rutted tracks, or uneven bush terrain.
Formula 4x4 F4R lift kits deliver practical, performance focused benefits rather than superficial lift alone. Each lift kit is designed to support vehicle weight, driving conditions, and long term use.
Increased ride height improves approach, breakover, and departure angles, while upgraded 4x4 shock absorbers provide improved control over rough terrain.
Adjustable damping allows drivers to fine tune suspension response based on load, driving style, and conditions.
Durability is a core focus. From bushes to u-bolts, components are selected to withstand harsh environments, extended heat cycles, and continuous articulation.
Every Formula 4x4 F4R lift kit features adjustable remote reservoir shocks. These remote reservoir shocks, also known as remote res shocks, increase oil volume and improve heat dissipation, allowing the suspension to perform consistently over long distances and rough surfaces.
Choosing the right lift kit impacts handling, comfort, and reliability. Poorly matched lift kits often compromise steering feel and long term durability. Formula 4x4 F4R lift kits are engineered as complete systems to reduce compromise.
These 4x4 lift kits are designed to grow with the vehicle. As accessories and loads change, adjustable remote reservoir shocks allow the suspension to be tuned rather than replaced.
When integrated as part of a wider 4x4 suspension setup, F4R systems deliver predictable behaviour on road and confidence off road, making them a strong choice among premium 4wd lift kits.
The Formula 4x4 F4R range includes multiple lift heights to suit different vehicles, build styles, and usage requirements.
Formula 4x4 F4R lift kits are available for a wide range of popular 4WD vehicles. Compatibility is vehicle specific and depends on make, model, year, and factory suspension layout.
Vehicles fitted with rear coil springs receive matched rear coils, while leaf spring vehicles receive upgraded hardware such as shackles, u bolts, and bushings to support the selected lift height and load requirements.
Front suspension configuration also varies by model, with some applications supplied as pre assembled struts and others supplied as separate struts and coil springs. Selecting the correct lift kit ensures proper integration with the overall 4x4 suspension system.
Formula 4x4 F4R 4x4 lift kits are designed for real world driving across varied conditions.
Daily driven vehicles benefit from improved damping control and ride stability. Touring vehicles gain better load handling and reduced shock fade over long distances. Off road vehicles see improved clearance and suspension articulation, allowing confident travel through the bush, over ruts, and across uneven terrain.
Each Formula 4x4 F4R lift kit is supplied as a complete, vehicle specific suspension package. All components are selected to work together as a matched system and vary depending on vehicle make, model, and suspension design.
All components are supplied as part of the lift kit to ensure correct fitment, geometry, and performance without the need to source additional parts.
Upper control arms: Recommended for vehicles running a 2 or 3 inch suspension or higher to help maintain correct suspension geometry and alignment.
Air bag suspension: Our options from Airbag Man and Polyair support touring and towing loads while maintaining ride quality and integrating seamlessly with F4R lift kits.
All Formula 4x4 F4R lift kits are compliant with Australian Design Rules. Lift heights above 2 inch may require certification, with regulations varying between states.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct assembly, torque settings, and suspension alignment. Proper installation is critical for components such as remote reservoir shocks, u bolts, bushings, and control arms.
Technical support is available to assist with lift height selection and integration into a complete 4x4 suspension system.
Formula 4x4 suspension systems are developed and tested for Australian conditions with a focus on durability and consistency.
Each Formula 4x4 F4R remote reservoir lift kit is backed by a 5 year unlimited kilometre warranty.
Explore the Formula 4x4 F4R range and choose the right remote reservoir lift kit for your vehicle. Select the appropriate 2 inch lift kit, 3 inch lift kit, or higher configuration based on your vehicle, load requirements, and driving conditions.
With Fulcrum’s Click and Fit service, your lift kit can be supplied and professionally installed by a Fulcrum Suspension Centre. This ensures correct fitment, correct installation of remote reservoir shocks, u bolts, bushes, and bushings, and confidence that your 4x4 suspension upgrade is set up properly from day one.

Remote reservoir shocks are worth considering if you regularly drive on corrugations, rough tracks, or with added vehicle weight. By increasing oil volume and improving heat dissipation, remote res shocks help maintain consistent damping during extended driving, reducing shock fade and improving control over long distances.
The primary purpose of remote reservoir shocks is heat management. As shock absorbers work harder, oil temperature rises, which can reduce damping performance. A remote reservoir helps stabilise temperatures and maintain predictable suspension behaviour, particularly during touring, towing, or sustained off road use.
Shocks with reservoirs are not automatically better for every vehicle, but they are better suited to demanding applications. Vehicles used for touring, heavy loads, or frequent off road driving often benefit from reservoir shocks due to improved consistency and durability.
Remote reservoir shocks do not inherently provide more suspension travel. Travel is determined by shock length, mounting points, and vehicle-specific design. The reservoir improves performance consistency rather than increasing overall travel.
Yes, a 2 inch lift is noticeable both visually and functionally. It improves approach and breakover clearance while maintaining factory-like handling characteristics. A 2 inch suspension upgrade is also commonly chosen because it often avoids certification requirements in many states.
A leaf spring supports vehicle weight, helps locate the axle, and manages load carrying, particularly in the rear suspension of many 4x4s. In lift kits, leaf springs or associated components such as shackles and U-bolts work together to achieve the desired ride height while maintaining durability and load control.
The best lift kit brand is one that delivers vehicle-specific engineering, matched suspension components, and proven performance in real-world conditions. Formula 4x4 lift kits are designed as complete systems, combining springs, shock absorbers, hardware, and bushings that work together rather than as mixed parts. With adjustable remote reservoir shocks, application-specific tuning, and backing from a 5 year unlimited kilometre warranty, Formula 4x4 is widely regarded as a leading choice for touring, bush use, and demanding off road conditions.
Lift kits above 2 inches may require certification to be road legal, and requirements vary by state and vehicle. It is important to confirm local regulations before fitting a 3 inch or 4 inch suspension setup and to ensure compliance with relevant Australian Design Rules.
F4R lift kits are backed by a 5 year unlimited kilometre warranty, providing long-term peace of mind for daily driving, touring, and off road use.
Durability depends on correct component selection, installation, and maintenance. Formula 4x4 F4R lift kits are engineered as matched systems, which typically provides greater durability than mixed component setups, particularly in demanding bush conditions.
Upper control arms are often recommended for vehicles running a 3 inch suspension or higher, as they help maintain correct suspension geometry, alignment, and tyre wear.
