The Bilstein 2" Lift Kit for the Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 wagon (1988-1997) pairs German-engineered B6 monotube shock absorbers with King raised coil springs front and rear. The monotube design keeps oil and gas separated for consistent damping over corrugations and long highway runs, while the raised springs add 2" of clearance for bigger tyres and underbody protection without the wallowy feel of cheaper springs. This complete 4WD lift kit ships from Australian stock with Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and fitment guidance from our team. Order today and get your GQ sorted before your next trip.

Spring rate should be matched to what you carry day-to-day, not just the vehicle's kerb weight. If you're running a bullbar, winch, second battery tray or roof rack up front, or a canopy, drawers, fridge and water tank in the rear, tell us before you order so we can confirm the right King spring for your constant load. Common accessories that shift spring selection include bullbars and winches (front), and long-range fuel tanks, canopies, and touring gear (rear).
This is a bolt-in kit best fitted by an experienced 4WD workshop or a competent DIY installer with the right tools and a spring compressor. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — ride height changes castor, camber and toe, and running it out of spec will chew through tyres. Allow a 500km settling-in period for the King springs and B6 shocks to bed in before fine-tuning alignment. If you're correcting geometry further at 2" of lift, pair this kit with
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers for decades and the B6 is their direct-fit performance upgrade over the factory unit, not a generic aftermarket shock. Every kit sold through us is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock. Tourers and tradespeople running GQ Patrols choose Bilstein when they want firmer control without sacrificing the factory ride — view the full Bilstein range for other GQ-compatible options.
This kit suits GQ Y60 owners running a bullbar, driving lights and recovery gear who want their Patrol sitting level and controlled again. It's also a solid base for weekend tourers wanting extra tyre clearance without going to a 3" lift. If you're carrying a constant heavy rear load — camper trailer, canopy or caravan tow-ball weight — also look at airbag suspension to supplement the coil springs.

This kit is designed for the Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 wagon built between 1988 and 1997. It suits TD42, RB30 and TB42 engine variants. If you're running a cab-chassis or ute variant with leaf-sprung rear, check with our team first as this kit is built around the wagon's coil-sprung rear end.
This kit delivers 2" of lift front and rear using King raised coil springs. That's over factory ride height, giving extra clearance for bigger tyres and underbody protection while keeping the Patrol's factory driveline angles within range. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load fitted at the time of measurement.
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.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
The standard King spring rate in this kit is set up for typical touring accessory loads such as a bullbar, winch and general camping gear. If you're regularly towing or carrying heavy constant rear loads like a caravan tow-ball weight, tell us your setup so we can confirm whether a heavier-rate spring or added airbag suspension is a better match.

Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters castor, camber and toe settings, and running the vehicle without a proper alignment will cause uneven and premature tyre wear. Book an alignment straight after fitment, then again after the 500km settling-in period.
Yes. King coil springs are available in different rates to suit different constant accessory loads, from a light touring setup through to heavier bullbar, winch and rear canopy combinations. Tell our team what you're carrying day-to-day and we'll confirm the right spring rate for your GQ before you order.
The extra 2" of clearance from this kit is enough for most owners to step up tyre diameter without major rubbing issues, though exact tyre clearance depends on your wheel offset and width. We recommend checking your intended tyre size with our team before ordering if you're going up more than one size.
This kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 shock absorbers, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. King coil springs carry their own manufacturer warranty terms. Keep your proof of purchase from us and contact our team directly if you have a warranty concern.
Yes. The Bilstein B6 monotube shock is a direct-fit performance upgrade rather than an extreme off-road-only shock, so it's tuned to keep the GQ's on-road ride comfortable at 2" of lift. Many owners run this exact combination as their daily driver and weekend tourer without changing their driving style.
