The King front springs in this kit are matched to a standard accessory load, so the right choice comes down to what's mounted ahead of the front axle. A heavier steel bull bar, winch, or dual battery setup under the bonnet adds constant weight the spring has to carry every day, not just when loaded up for a trip. If you're running a heavy bar and winch combination, talk to our team before ordering so we can confirm the spring rate suits your build.
Fitting this kit involves strut disassembly and spring compression, so we recommend an experienced 4WD workshop or an installer comfortable working with pre-loaded coil springs. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — camber, caster and toe all shift once front ride height changes. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs to settle and the strut seals to fully bed in before fine-tuning alignment. For correct caster angle and geometry at 2" of lift, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms.
Bilstein's monotube shock design has been refined across decades of German engineering and is used in both OEM and aftermarket applications worldwide. The B6 Offroad range is tuned specifically for lifted 4WDs carrying front-end accessories, and every kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty. Tourers and tradespeople across Australia run Bilstein struts because the damping stays consistent whether the vehicle is empty or loaded. Browse the full Bilstein range to compare front and rear options for your build.
This kit suits Colorado RG owners running a steel bull bar, winch or driving light bar who need the front end to sit level and handle that extra weight. It also suits tourers preparing a dual-cab for a drawer system, roof top tent or long-distance touring setup where consistent front-end control matters. If you're carrying a constant heavy load in the tray or towing regularly, look at airbag suspension for the rear to complement this front lift.

Yes, this Bilstein 2" Front Lift Kit is built for the Holden Colorado RG built between 2012 and 2020, covering both the 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel and the early 3.6L V6 petrol variants. Front strut mounting points are shared across these drivetrains on the RG platform. If you're unsure of your exact build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment before you order. You can also check compatibility using our vehicle-specific parts finder.
This kit provides a 2" front lift measured at standard ride height, achieved through the combination of B6 Offroad struts and pre-matched King coil springs. Rear ride height is unaffected, since this is a front-only kit. For an even stance front to rear, pair it with a rear leaf spring or coil spring kit sized to your accessory and load setup. Our team can help match a rear option to suit your Colorado RG.
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 x Bilstein B6 Offroad front struts pre-assembled with King raised front coil springs, plus front strut top mounts where supplied and the mounting hardware needed for installation. Fitting instructions and warranty documentation are included with every kit. Rear shocks, rear springs, control arms and steering components are not part of this kit and are sold separately. Check the kit contents list on this page for the full breakdown.
This front kit improves control and ride height at the front axle, which helps once a bull bar, winch or front-mounted accessories are fitted before towing. Towing capacity and rear squat, however, are governed by rear suspension, so we recommend pairing this kit with a rear leaf spring rated for your tow ball weight. Our leaf spring range includes options for light, medium and constant heavy loads. Talk to our team about matching front and rear for your towing setup.
At a 2" front lift, factory control arms on the Colorado RG generally retain workable geometry, but caster angle does shift slightly with any ride height increase. Upgraded control arms correct caster back closer to factory specification and can reduce uneven tyre wear over time. If you're running larger tyres or towing regularly, upgraded control arms are worth considering alongside this kit. Our team can advise whether your combination needs them.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Camber, caster and toe all change once front ride height is altered, and running the vehicle without a fresh alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect handling. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after installation, and again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs have settled. This is standard practice with any front lift kit, not unique to this product.
The King front springs in this kit are matched to the B6 Offroad valving for a standard accessory load such as a bull bar and winch. If you're running heavier front-end equipment, contact our team before ordering — we can advise on the right spring rate for your specific bar, winch and driving light combination. Getting the spring rate right up front avoids sagging or an overly firm ride down the track.
A 2" front lift typically opens up clearance for larger tyres, with many Colorado RG owners running up to 33-inch tyres on this kind of front lift depending on wheel width and offset. Actual clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether you're also lifting the rear. We recommend confirming your specific tyre and wheel combination with our team before purchasing new tyres.
Bilstein backs the B6 Offroad struts in this kit with its manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects. Our team can confirm the current warranty term for this specific kit at the time of purchase. We also provide Australian-based fitment support if you have questions before or after installation. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the B6 Offroad struts are tuned to keep on-road comfort close to factory while adding the control needed once front accessories are fitted, which makes this kit a common choice for Colorado RG utes used as daily drivers as well as tourers. Many owners run this exact setup every day, on and off road, without a harsh or unsettled ride. Alignment and the 500km bedding-in period should be completed before you judge the final ride quality.
