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.
Choosing the right rear leaf spring rate comes down to what you carry permanently, not just what you can fit in the tray occasionally. If you're running a steel tray, canopy, dual battery setup, water tanks or a drawer system, tell us the constant weight so we can confirm the EFS leaf spring rate suits your load. Common accessories affecting spring selection include bullbars and winches up front, and canopies, toolboxes, long-range fuel tanks and caravan tow-ball weight at the rear.
Fitment should be carried out by a qualified suspension workshop or an experienced DIY installer with the correct tools for torque specs and leaf spring U-bolt tension. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe to factory tolerance at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the springs and shock bushes to settle before final alignment adjustments if needed. Many BT-50 Gen 3 owners pair this kit with control arm upgrades to correct front geometry and CV angles at the taller ride height.
Bilstein has manufactured monotube shock technology since the 1950s and the B6 Offroad series is tuned for Australian conditions rather than imported as a one-size-fits-all unit. Every shock is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our local team for fitment questions before and after purchase. You can view the full Bilstein range to compare this kit against other Bilstein applications for your BT-50.
This kit suits tradespeople running a loaded canopy or toolboxes, tourers fitting roof racks and drawer systems, and caravan owners needing a stable tow-ball weight without rear sag. If you're carrying variable loads day to day rather than a constant weight, airbag suspension can be added to the rear leaf springs for load-levelling on demand.
This Bilstein lift kit is in stock and ready to dispatch from our Australian warehouse, with our team on hand for fitment advice specific to your BT-50 Gen 3 setup. Browse our full lift kit range to compare options before you order.

This kit is designed for the Mazda BT-50 Gen 3 (UR) Dual Cab with the 3.0L turbo diesel engine, built between 2011 and 2020. It is not a match for the earlier Gen 1/Gen 2 BT-50 or the newer Gen 4 model, which use different chassis mounts and spring dimensions. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment using your VIN or compliance plate details before you order.
The kit provides a 2" to 3" lift across the front and rear, using King Springs raised front coils and EFS raised rear leaf springs matched to Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks. The exact height within that range depends on the vehicle's unladen weight and any accessories already fitted, such as a bullbar or winch. Our team can help you select the right spring combination if you're running heavier front-end accessories.
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.
The kit includes 2 Bilstein B6 Offroad front shocks, 2 Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shocks, 2 King Springs front coil springs, and 2 EFS raised rear leaf springs. It also comes with front coil isolators, a rear U-bolt kit, greasable shackle bushes and pins, and all mounting hardware. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your alignment specs require them.
Yes, the EFS raised rear leaf springs are built with load-carrying in mind, which helps support tow-ball weight and reduce rear sag when towing a caravan or trailer. The Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks add damping control to manage the extra mass moving through the suspension. For variable towing loads, adding airbag suspension to the rear leaf springs gives you adjustable load support on top of this kit.
At a 2"-3" lift height, factory control arms on the BT-50 Gen 3 can run out of correct camber and caster adjustment, and CV joint angles can be pushed toward their limit. Upgraded control arms restore proper geometry and extend CV joint life at the raised ride height. Whether you need them depends on your alignment shop's findings after fitting this kit, so we recommend getting an alignment check first.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Camber, caster and toe all shift once the vehicle sits at its new ride height, and skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and vague steering. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment, and again after the 500km break-in period once springs and bushes have settled.
Yes, King Springs and EFS both offer spring rate options for the BT-50 Gen 3 beyond the standard rate supplied in this kit. If you're carrying a constant heavy load — such as a steel tray, canopy and dual battery setup — tell us the weight and we'll match a firmer rear leaf spring rate. Front coil rate selection follows the same principle based on bullbar and winch weight.
The 2" to 3" lift provided by this kit is commonly used by BT-50 Gen 3 owners to clear larger diameter tyres than the factory fitment allows. Actual tyre clearance also depends on wheel offset and width, so check your intended tyre and rim combination against your guards before ordering. Our team can advise on suitable tyre sizes based on this kit's lift height.
Bilstein shock absorbers are covered by a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. King Springs and EFS spring components carry their respective manufacturer warranties as well. Full warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase, and our team can provide the documentation for your records.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 Offroad shock is tuned to stay compliant on sealed roads while still handling corrugations and rough tracks when needed. Owners use this kit for daily commuting, work duties and weekend touring on the same vehicle without swapping shocks. Ride quality at this lift height is firmer than factory but remains within a comfortable daily-driving range.
