When ordering this kit, you'll select spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle, not occasional cargo. Constant front loads include steel bullbars (30-40kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded intercoolers (10-15kg), dual battery systems (25kg), and upgraded lighting. Occasional loads like recovery gear, camping equipment, and towing do not constitute constant load and should not influence spring selection. Selecting excessively heavy spring rates for non-constant loads will result in harsh ride quality, accelerated wear on suspension components, and reduced shock absorber effectiveness.
This kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY fitting with appropriate spring compressor tools, hydraulic jacks, and torque wrenches. Complete installation typically requires 3-4 hours including shock removal, spring assembly transfer (if replacing existing lifted suspension), and component torquing to manufacturer specifications. Wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure stable handling characteristics. A 500km break-in period allows springs to settle and shocks to bed in — ride height may decrease 5-10mm during this period before stabilizing. For vehicles with significant accessory weight or those requiring maximum articulation, consider pairing this front lift with upgraded control arms to correct ball joint angles and restore optimal suspension geometry.
Bilstein has earned legendary status among Australian four-wheel drivers through seven decades of monotube shock innovation, from original equipment on European performance vehicles to aftermarket domination of outback touring rigs.

Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by Australia's most knowledgeable suspension specialists, Bilstein represents the gold standard for drivers who refuse to compromise on safety, comfort, or capability.
This front lift kit perfectly suits Triton owners who've added essential touring accessories and need to restore factory rake and ride height without compromising daily driving comfort. Tradespeople running steel bullbars and service bodies, grey nomads towing caravans (pair with airbag suspension in the rear for ultimate load control), weekend adventurers seeking improved ground clearance, and serious tourers demanding proven reliability across extended outback expeditions will all benefit from this precision-engineered suspension upgrade. If you're carrying constant front-end weight or simply want class-leading ride quality with genuine lift capability, this Bilstein package delivers unmatched value.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Mitsubishi Triton MQ (2015-2018) and MR (2019-2024) variants including GLX, GLX+, GLS, GSR, Exceed, and Blackline models. The Bilstein B6 shock absorbers and King Springs are precision-matched to the MQ-MR platform's suspension geometry, mounting points, and weight distribution. Both diesel engine variants are supported, and the kit fits single cab, club cab, and dual cab body configurations equally. If you have an earlier ML/MN series or require rear suspension components, explore all suspension parts for the Triton range to find compatible options.
This Bilstein front lift kit provides approximately 35mm (1.4 inches) of front lift height measured at the wheel arch. Actual lift may vary by 5-10mm depending on your vehicle's existing accessory weight, tyre size, and suspension condition. The 35mm lift is specifically calculated to level the front end when running typical touring accessories like steel bullbars (30-40kg) and winches (35kg), restoring the factory rake that's lost when these items are added. After a 500km break-in period, springs will settle slightly, and final ride height stabilizes within the specified range. This moderate lift improves ground clearance and approach angles without requiring modifications to driveline angles or brake lines.
This kit includes 2 x Bilstein B6 monotube gas shock absorbers pre-assembled with 2 x King Springs front coil springs, creating a complete front suspension upgrade package. The shock absorbers feature Bilstein's velocity-sensitive digressive valving with zinc-plated bodies and multi-lip sealing systems. King Springs are Australian-made progressive-rate coils engineered specifically for Triton MQ-MR load characteristics. The kit does NOT include rear suspension components, upper control arms, or alignment components — these are available separately if required. All mounting hardware reuses your existing factory components, though we recommend inspecting and replacing worn bushings during installation.
Yes, this front lift kit works excellently with towing applications by maintaining correct vehicle stance under front-end accessory weight, though it only addresses the front suspension. When towing caravans or heavy trailers, your Triton's rear suspension will compress significantly due to towball download (typically 200-350kg for caravans). For optimal towing performance, pair this front lift with rear upgraded leaf springs or add airbag suspension to the rear for adjustable load support. The Bilstein B6 shock absorbers provide excellent stability and control during towing through their velocity-sensitive damping, which automatically firms up during weight transfer and cornering forces experienced when pulling trailers.
For this 35mm front lift, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry and long-term reliability. The moderate lift height keeps ball joint angles within acceptable factory tolerances for most applications. However, if you're running maximum accessory weight, planning aggressive off-road use, or want to maximize suspension articulation and component lifespan, aftermarket control arms restore ideal geometry and provide additional clearance for larger tyres. Upper control arms with adjustable camber are particularly beneficial for maintaining proper wheel alignment after lifting. Contact our team to discuss whether your specific Triton configuration and intended use would benefit from simultaneous control arm upgrades.
Yes, professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory immediately after installing this lift kit. Raising your Triton's front suspension by 35mm alters camber, caster, and toe angles beyond factory specifications, which will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, compromised handling stability, and potential safety issues if not corrected. A quality four-wheel alignment typically costs $150-250 and ensures your suspension geometry is optimized for the new ride height. Most reputable workshops will perform a pre-alignment inspection to identify any worn components that should be replaced before alignment is set. Plan for alignment costs when budgeting for this suspension upgrade, and request a printout of before/after alignment specifications for your records.
Yes, when ordering this kit you'll select front spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the permanent weight of items like bullbars, winches, dual batteries, and upgraded intercoolers. King Springs are available in multiple load ratings to perfectly match your specific configuration. It's critical to select spring rates based ONLY on constant loads, not occasional cargo or towing weight. Overestimating your requirements and selecting excessively heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality, reduced shock absorber effectiveness, and accelerated wear on bushings and ball joints. Our team can calculate your exact constant load and recommend optimal spring rates — simply provide details of your permanently installed accessories when ordering or contact us for personalized guidance.
This 35mm front lift provides clearance for modestly larger tyres, typically allowing you to upgrade from factory 265/65R17 (31.6 inches) to 265/70R17 (32.6 inches) or 275/70R17 (33.0 inches) without significant rubbing on stock wheels with appropriate offset. More aggressive tyre sizes may require minor trimming of plastic inner guards or aftermarket wheels with different offset to prevent contact during full suspension compression and steering lock. Larger tyres affect speedometer accuracy, fuel economy, and gearing — recalibration or gear ratio changes may be beneficial for serious size increases. Remember that this kit only lifts the front — for maximum tyre clearance, you'll need corresponding rear lift to maintain balanced clearance front and rear during articulation.
Bilstein shock absorbers are covered by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, typically providing protection for the expected service life when used in accordance with specifications. King Springs similarly carry manufacturer warranty coverage for spring metallurgy and construction quality. Warranty claims require proof of professional installation, appropriate spring rate selection for actual vehicle load, and normal use conditions. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, overloading beyond rated capacity, or wear items like seals and bushings after normal service intervals. Retain your purchase receipt and installation records, as these are required for any warranty claims. Contact us immediately if you experience any performance issues or suspect defective components.
Absolutely — this Bilstein B6 lift kit is engineered specifically to maintain excellent daily driving comfort while providing genuine off-road capability when needed. Bilstein's monotube technology and velocity-sensitive valving deliver supple ride quality over small road imperfections and expansion joints during highway cruising, while automatically firming up during larger impacts and cornering forces. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise on-road manners for off-road performance, this Bilstein package provides the perfect balance for dual-purpose vehicles that see daily commuting, weekend adventures, and occasional serious touring. Many Triton owners report improved ride quality compared to worn factory suspension, particularly when correct spring rates are selected for their actual accessory load configuration.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Triton
Fitted this Bilstein front lift kit to our MQ Triton before our last Cape York trip and couldn't be happier with the results. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated tracks, and the kids actually stopped complaining about being bounced around in the back. Installation was straightforward enough for my local mechanic to knock over in an afternoon, and the extra clearance has already saved us a few times on beach approaches.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Outback Adventures
After 18 months touring the Cape and the Tanami, the Bilstein front lift kit has transformed our MR Triton's handling with the camper loaded up. The ride quality is noticeably smoother over corrugations compared to the factory setup, and we're no longer bottoming out on the rough tracks. Couldn't be happier with how it's performing – well worth every dollar for serious touring.(5)
Perfect upgrade for my work Triton
Had these Bilstein front struts fitted to my MR Triton about three months back and they've been spot on. The ride is noticeably better than stock, especially when I'm loaded up with tools and gear during the week. Handled a trip down to the high country last month without any dramas either, really impressed with how they soak up the corrugations.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein front lift kit to our MR Triton before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is noticeably better on corrugated tracks, and it's handling the weight of our full camping setup without the front sagging anymore. Really happy with how it's transformed the truck for weekend adventures with the kids.(5)
Proper upgrade for the work ute
Fitted the Bilstein front lift kit to my MQ Triton a couple months back and it's been brilliant. Handles the daily grind with tools and materials loaded up way better than the factory setup, plus the ride quality is actually smoother on the highway. Had them on for about 8 weeks now including a weekend trip up to the high country and they've performed faultlessly.(5)
