Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and component longevity. You must calculate your constant accessory load — the total weight of permanently fitted accessories including steel bullbars, winches, roof racks, long range fuel tanks, dual battery systems, UHF aerials and drawer systems. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, recovery equipment and towing do not count toward constant load calculations. Common front accessories on N70 Hilux platforms include aftermarket steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), heavy-duty batteries (15-25kg), upgraded intercoolers and air conditioning systems — always weigh your actual accessories or consult manufacturer specifications before selecting your spring rate to avoid over-springing which results in harsh ride quality.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD mechanic or experienced DIY installer with appropriate spring compressor tools and workshop manual is strongly recommended. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation as lift height changes alter castor, camber and toe settings — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and compromised handling. All Bilstein shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period for internal seals and valving to bed in — ride quality will improve noticeably after this settling period. For lift heights exceeding 50mm, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms featuring extended ball joints or adjustable geometry to maintain correct suspension geometry, improve wheel travel and prevent CV joint binding.
Bilstein has been engineering world-leading monotube gas shock absorbers since 1954, with over 70 years of motorsport, OEM and aftermarket suspension expertise trusted by manufacturers including Porsche, BMW and Toyota. All Bilstein suspension products sold in Australia are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and undergo extensive local testing across outback corrugations, beach sand, rocky terrain and highway touring conditions. Bilstein's reputation for unmatched durability, consistent performance and superior ride quality has made them the preferred choice of serious Australian tourers, tradespeople and off-road enthusiasts who demand proven reliability in the harshest conditions.
This Bilstein front lift kit is ideal for N70 Hilux owners who have fitted heavy accessories such as steel bullbars and winches and need to restore front ride height and level the stance. It's perfect for grey nomads and touring enthusiasts seeking improved ground clearance for remote tracks while maintaining highway comfort, tradespeople carrying constant tool loads and equipment, and weekend warriors wanting to fit larger mud-terrain tyres for beach and forest trail access. If you regularly carry heavy loads in the tray or tow caravans and camper trailers, consider pairing this front lift with airbag suspension in the rear for maximum load support and adjustability.

Yes, this Bilstein B6 front lift kit is engineered specifically for all Toyota Hilux N70 models from 2005 to 2015 including single cab, extra cab and dual cab configurations in both 2WD and 4WD variants. The pre-assembled shock and spring units are direct bolt-in replacements for factory front struts with no modifications required. If you have a heavily modified vehicle or are unsure about fitment, our suspension experts can confirm compatibility based on your specific build number and accessory load — simply contact us with your VIN or build plate details for personalised advice.
This Bilstein front lift kit provides between 50mm (2 inches) and 75mm (3 inches) of front lift height depending on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's constant accessory load. Vehicles with lighter front loads such as alloy bullbars will achieve closer to 75mm lift, while heavily accessorised Hilux models with steel bullbars, winches and heavy-duty batteries will settle closer to 50mm. The actual lift height achieved will also depend on the condition of your existing suspension and the break-in period — most vehicles settle 5-10mm after the initial 500km as springs and bushings bed in.
This kit includes two complete Bilstein B6 monotube gas shock absorbers pre-assembled with King coil springs matched to your selected constant load specification. The shocks and springs arrive as ready-to-install assemblies, eliminating the need for dangerous spring compression during installation. Please note this is a front-only kit — rear suspension components including shocks and leaf springs or coil springs are sold separately. Extended brake lines, upper control arms, diff drop brackets, extended sway bar links and bump stop extensions are not included but may be required depending on your final lift height and intended use.
Yes, this Bilstein B6 front lift kit significantly improves towing performance by reducing front-end sag, maintaining level ride height under GCM loads, and providing superior damping control when accelerating and braking with heavy trailers. The upgraded King coil springs support increased front accessory weight while the Bilstein monotube shocks deliver fade-free damping even under extended highway towing conditions. For optimal towing performance, we recommend pairing this front lift with appropriate rear suspension upgrades including heavy-duty rear shocks, upgraded leaf springs or airbag suspension to maintain balanced geometry and maximum load capacity across both axles.
For lift heights up to 50mm (2 inches), factory control arms will generally provide adequate geometry and performance. However, for lift heights approaching 75mm (3 inches), we strongly recommend upgrading to extended ball joint upper control arms or adjustable geometry control arms to maintain correct suspension geometry, maximise wheel travel, prevent CV joint binding and improve steering response. Upgraded control arms restore proper castor and camber angles altered by the increased ride height and are particularly important for vehicles used in serious off-road conditions or touring applications. Our suspension experts can assess your specific setup and recommend appropriate control arm upgrades based on your lift height and intended use.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit as the increased ride height significantly alters castor, camber and toe angles from factory specifications. Incorrect alignment will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, poor handling characteristics and compromised braking performance. The alignment must be performed after the suspension has been fully tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height on level ground. We recommend using a 4WD-specialised alignment shop familiar with lifted vehicles who can set alignment within manufacturer tolerances while accounting for the new suspension geometry — most reputable shops will provide a printed alignment report showing before and after measurements.
Yes, this kit allows you to select from multiple King coil spring rates to match your specific constant accessory load including light, medium and heavy-duty options. You must accurately calculate the total weight of permanently fitted front accessories including bullbars, winches, batteries, long range tanks and roof racks — do not include occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers or towing weights. Selecting a spring rate that is too soft will result in excessive sag and bottoming out, while choosing springs that are too heavy will result in harsh ride quality, reduced wheel travel and potential damage to suspension bushings and mounting points. If you're unsure about your constant load weight, our team can provide guidance based on your specific accessory list.
With 50-75mm of front lift, most N70 Hilux models can accommodate tyres up to 32-33 inches in diameter (approximately 285/75R16 or 265/70R17) without significant rubbing on standard offset wheels. Actual tyre clearance depends on several factors including wheel offset, tyre brand and tread pattern, amount of rear lift installed, and whether you've fitted aftermarket control arms or diff drop brackets. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards or mud flaps may be required for full articulation clearance off-road. For tyres larger than 33 inches, additional modifications including body lifts, guard trimming and wider wheel offset may be necessary. Always test-fit tyres at full lock and compression before committing to purchase.
All Bilstein shock absorbers sold through authorised Australian dealers including 4WD Suspension are covered by comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Bilstein's warranty is one of the most respected in the industry and covers shock absorber failures such as seal leaks, bent shafts and internal component failure when used within intended load specifications. King coil springs are also covered by manufacturer warranty against sagging and breakage. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, appropriate spring rate selection based on actual constant loads, and normal use within legal GVM and GCM limits. Retain your purchase receipt and installation documentation as proof of purchase for any warranty claims.
Absolutely — Bilstein B6 shocks are renowned for delivering exceptional on-road ride quality while providing superior off-road performance when required. The velocity-sensitive monotube damping technology automatically adjusts to road conditions, providing comfortable highway cruising, controlled cornering and confident braking performance. Lift heights up to 50mm (2 inches) are engineered to maintain near-factory handling characteristics with minimal impact on stability or comfort when combined with proper wheel alignment and appropriate spring rate selection. For lift heights approaching 75mm (3 inches), some reduction in high-speed stability and cornering precision should be expected due to raised centre of gravity — this is inherent to all lifted vehicles regardless of shock absorber quality.
Best upgrade I've done to the work ute
Had these Bilstein shocks and springs fitted to my 2012 Hilux about six months back and they've been copping a beating ever since - daily runs to sites loaded with tools, plus weekend trips down the beach.

The ride quality is noticeably better than my previous setup, soaking up the punishment without wallowing when loaded up with long-range fuel and water. Fitment was spot-on for my 2012 Hilux and the King springs have held their rate perfectly despite the constant heavy loads.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Touring Rig
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our 2012 Hilux before our Cape York trip and it's transformed the whole setup. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugations compared to the old shocks, and we're sitting at a proper height now for the touring gear we carry. Installation was straightforward with everything pre-assembled, and the kids reckon the back seat is more comfortable on long hauls now that the front end isn't sagging.(5)
Best Upgrade for My Work Hilux
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to my 2012 Hilux about three months back and it's been brilliant for daily driving with tools and materials in the tray. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, even when loaded up, and it handled the beach tracks down the coast last weekend without any dramas. Well worth the money for something that'll actually last.(5)
