(Z) 7x7 – 15x15 Lifted Wheel Suspension

This mod adds modified lifted suspension to the game to significantly increase ground clearance. With wheels as big as 15x15, rovers can now be built that dwarf the likes of rovers that use 5x5s. Build robust mobile bases that benefit from a significant yet balanced increase in propulsion power.

• Small and large grid: 15x15, 13x13, 11x11, 9x9, and 7x7 rover and offroad lifted wheel suspension
• Higher ground clearance: approximately a lot more ground clearance
• Higher offset range: between -5.8 and 6.3 meters for large grid 15x15s
• Faster turning at high speeds for large grid suspension
• Versatile mount points: on five sides of the block
• Build larger rovers: higher offset range means that on average more wheels are on the ground doing work
• Offroad suspension lower triangle count: 21,678 versus 56,082
• Good LODs and construction LODs
• Tire trails for all modded wheels
• Compatible with skins
• Supports localization for Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish

Lifted suspension must be initially mounted like vanilla suspension, but there is a mount point on top as well. Once you have a block supporting it from above, you can remove blocks on the back of the suspension and optionally mount another suspension to it facing the other way.

When you mount lifted suspension from the top of its block to the bottom of your chassis, you can heighten your ground clearance even farther. However, with wheels as large as these it's usually sufficient to mount the suspension right to the side of your chassis.

Stay tuned to my workshop page for more wheel mods with original suspension and treads. My WIP models can be seen in the video above. I’ve got more wheels in the works! If you want your prefabs featured in my next wheel mod's showcase video, find me through Keen's official Discord channel and shoot me a DM.


I've disabled mirroring for this mod because any suspension block that has larger than a 2x2 'mount face' would otherwise have awkward block placement or broken mirroring. Instead of having working mirroring but awkward block placement, I chose to make all blocks place-able from the top left corner.

Some issues with Keen wheels will persist with this mod. Small grid wheels in general don’t interact with voxels very well. However, compared to small grid 5x5 wheels, these wheels do pretty good on voxels.

This mod may throw errors about problems with the models. I confirmed with veteran modders in the Keen discord that these errors are themselves erroneous.
