The Bilstein B6 Front Lift Kit is a pre-assembled strut package — monotube gas shock plus matched King coil spring — built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and delivering a 2-3" front lift. Monotube construction keeps oil and gas separate for consistent damping on corrugations and under bullbar or winch loads, while the raised King coil restores geometry once heavier accessories go on. It's a common upgrade before fitting upgraded control arms to correct front-end angles at ride height. Backed by manufacturer warranty, held in Australian stock, and supported by our in-house fitment team.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your front spring rate based on the constant weight sitting over the front axle — bullbar, winch, and driving lights all add up before you've even loaded the tray. A heavier bullbar and winch combination generally suits a firmer front coil, while a stock or lighter bullbar setup can run the standard-rate King coil in this kit without sitting nose-high. Common front accessories affecting spring selection include steel bullbars, electric winches, driving light bars, and long-range fuel tanks mounted forward of the axle.
Fitting the Bilstein B6 front strut is a bolt-in job for an experienced installer or a well-equipped DIY workshop with a spring compressor and strut removal tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the lift changes camber and caster, and running it unaligned accelerates tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for the King coil springs to settle to their final ride height before fine-tuning alignment settings. Many N70 owners fit control arm upgrades at the same time to correct front-end geometry and CV angles at the higher ride height.
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers for decades, and the B6 range is developed and validated for the specific ride height and load conditions of the vehicle it's fitted to. This kit is supplied with a manufacturer warranty and backed by our fitment support team, so you're not guessing at compatibility. Tourers and tradespeople running Hilux N70s choose Bilstein for consistent damping under repeated heavy loads — view the full Bilstein range for matching rear shocks and other applications.
This kit suits Hilux N70 owners fitting a bullbar, winch or driving lights who need the front geometry and clearance to match, plus tourers wanting a firmer, more controlled front end for corrugated roads. Tradespeople running front-mounted equipment day to day benefit from the load-matched King coil rather than a generic raised spring. If you're carrying heavier rear loads on a regular basis, pair this with airbag suspension to manage variable payload at the back.

This Bilstein B6 front lift kit is built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N70 built between 2005 and 2015, covering the 3.0L and 2.5L D4D diesel and 4.0L V6 petrol variants. It's a direct bolt-in strut replacement for the factory front end on these models. If your Hilux sits outside this build range or has had prior suspension modifications, contact our team to confirm fitment before ordering.
The kit provides a 2-3" front lift, achieved through the combination of the Bilstein B6 monotube shock length and the raised King coil spring rate. Actual lift on your vehicle depends on the accessories already fitted and the vehicle's front-end weight at the time of installation. Rear lift is not included in this kit — it covers the front strut assembly only.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
You get two Bilstein B6 monotube front shock absorbers pre-assembled with two King raised coil springs, plus the bump stops and mounting hardware needed for a direct front strut swap. Top strut mounts are included where applicable to the N70 platform. Upper and lower control arms and any rear-end components are sold separately.
Yes, the front lift kit is commonly fitted alongside towing setups because the monotube shock handles sustained load and heat better than a standard twin-tube unit. This kit addresses the front end only — for tow ball weight and rear payload, we'd recommend reviewing your rear leaf spring rate or an airbag suspension option to suit your specific trailer weight.
It's not mandatory, but it's worth considering. At a 2-3" lift, front control arm angles and CV joint angles change from factory settings, and upgraded arms are designed to correct that geometry. Many N70 owners fit control arm upgrades at the same time as this lift kit to restore proper alignment range and reduce CV wear.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The lift changes both camber and caster at the front axle, and running the vehicle without a post-fit alignment will cause uneven and accelerated tyre wear. We recommend allowing the 500km break-in period for the King coil springs to settle before the final alignment check.
This particular kit is supplied with a standard-rate King coil matched to the Bilstein B6 shock for typical accessory loads like a bullbar and winch. If you're running heavier front-end equipment or want a firmer setup, speak with our team about alternative coil spring options from our coil spring range before ordering.
A 2-3" front lift on the N70 Hilux typically creates clearance for a larger tyre than factory, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset, rear-end lift (if any), and whether flares or trimming are needed. We recommend confirming your target tyre size with our fitment team so the combination works front and rear.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty, and we back every order with fitment support from our Australian-based team. If you have any doubt about compatibility with your specific N70 build, reach out before you install — our FAQ page covers common warranty and fitment questions too.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 monotube shock is tuned to keep on-road comfort in check while still handling the extra load of accessories and occasional off-road work. It's a common choice for Hilux N70 owners who daily drive the vehicle and tow or tour on weekends, rather than a purely off-road-only setup. Ride quality does firm up slightly compared to a soft factory shock, which is typical of this shock type.
Bilstein is the best
A quality front-end upgrade for the N70 Hilux. The Bilstein shocks and King Springs provide a firmer, more controlled ride with useful extra clearance.(5)
