The Bilstein 2" Front Lift Kit pairs pre-assembled B6 Offroad monotube shock absorbers with King coil springs to deliver a genuine 2" lift on the front end of the Isuzu D-Max 2nd Gen (2012-2020). Monotube damping sheds heat faster on corrugations and gives firmer on-road control than the factory twin-tube units. This is a front-only kit — check all compatible suspension parts for the D-Max to match a rear option. Dispatched from Australian stock with Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our suspension team.

This kit ships with one front King coil spring rate sized around a standard steel bull bar and winch combination. If you're running a heavier bar, dual winch setup, or bull bar-mounted lighting and an auxiliary battery, tell our team the accessory weight so we can check whether a firmer front spring suits your build better. Common front accessories affecting spring selection include steel bull bars (40-80kg), winches (25-35kg), and engine bay auxiliary batteries — rear-end loads like a canopy or water tank don't affect this front kit and should be matched separately.
Fitting the Bilstein 2" Front Lift Kit is a bolt-in job best handled by an experienced 4WD workshop, typically 2-3 hours across the front axle. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the increased ride height changes camber and caster, and skipping this step accelerates tyre wear. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the springs to settle to their final ride height before your final alignment check. If you're lifting for larger tyres or a better approach angle, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct CV joint and steering angles at the new height.
Bilstein has built monotube shock technology for OEM and aftermarket 4WD applications for decades, and the B6 Offroad range is tuned specifically for lifted vehicles running up to a 2" front lift. Every shock in this kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and dispatched from our Australian stock rather than shipped in on back-order. Tourers and tradespeople running a bull bar and winch up front choose this same B6 Offroad damper for predictable handling — view the full Bilstein suspension range for other applications.
This front lift kit suits D-Max owners fitting a steel bull bar and winch who need to correct front sag and regain factory ride height, plus tourers wanting extra clearance for a 33" tyre upgrade. Tradespeople carrying regular front-end accessories such as long-range fuel tanks or auxiliary lighting brackets will also see the front lift hold up under that added weight. If you're carrying variable rear loads like a canopy or camper, look at airbag suspension to manage rear sag without changing your leaf spring rate.
This Bilstein 2" Front Lift Kit for the Isuzu D-Max 2012-2020 is in stock now for dispatch from our Australian warehouse. Our suspension specialists can confirm fitment against your build — bull bar, winch, and tyre size — before you order.

Yes, this kit is designed for 2nd Gen Isuzu D-Max models built between 2012 and 2020, covering both the 3.0L 4JJ1-TC diesel (2012-2016) and the 1.9L 4JJ3-TCX diesel (2017-2020). It suits 4x4 and 4x2 dual-cab and space-cab variants that share the same front suspension geometry. Confirm your exact build date and any bull bar or winch fitted with our team before ordering, since front accessory weight can affect spring choice.
This kit provides a 2" lift at the front axle only. The rear ride height is unchanged, so if you want a level stance you'll need to add a matched rear leaf spring or coil spring option separately. Actual measured lift can vary slightly depending on accessory weight already fitted to your D-Max, such as a bull bar or winch.
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 two Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube front shock absorbers, pre-assembled, and two King front coil springs set for a 2" raised height. Upper spring seats, lower isolators, and mounting hardware are included, along with fitting instructions and torque specifications. Rear leaf springs, rear shocks, and upper control arms are not included in this kit.
This is a front-only lift kit, so it doesn't change your D-Max's rear leaf spring rate or overall tow rating. It does help correct front sag caused by a bull bar and winch, which improves headlight aim and steering feel while towing. For rear-end load changes from a caravan or trailer ball weight, pair this with a matched rear leaf spring upgrade or check our airbag suspension options.
Not always, but at a 2" front lift some D-Max owners find CV joint and steering angles benefit from upgraded upper control arms, especially if running 33" tyres or a heavier bull bar. Our team can check your specific combination and recommend whether upgraded control arms are needed for your build. Standard control arms will work for many setups at this lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. The 2" front lift changes camber and caster angles, and running without an alignment will accelerate front tyre wear. We recommend a full alignment straight after fitment, then a follow-up check after the 500km spring bed-in period.
This kit ships with one King front spring rate sized for a standard bull bar and winch setup. If you're running a heavier steel bar, dual winch, or extra front-end accessories, contact our team with the accessory weight so we can check if a firmer front spring suits your build better. We can advise on alternative spring options before you order if needed.
A 2" front lift typically clears larger tyres up to around 33" on a D-Max, though rear clearance and wheel offset also play a part. If you're planning a tyre upgrade alongside this kit, tell our team your target tyre size so we can confirm clearance and suggest a matching rear option. Wheel alignment and possible control arm changes should be factored in at the same time.
The Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks and King coil springs in this kit are covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Our team can confirm the exact warranty term and claim process when you order. We also provide ongoing fitment support from our Australian-based suspension specialists if you have questions after installation.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube shocks are tuned to balance daily on-road comfort with the ability to handle a loaded front end and rougher tracks. Many D-Max owners run this kit as their only suspension upgrade for daily commuting plus occasional towing or touring. The firmer damping improves steering feel on-road without the harsh ride associated with some off-road-only shock tunes.
