The Bilstein 2" Front Lift Kit for the Mazda BT-50 Gen 3 (2020-On) pairs monotube B6 Offroad shock absorbers pre-assembled to 2" raised front coil springs from King or Dobinsons, giving genuine clearance for bigger tyres and bull bar weight. The monotube design resists heat fade on long touring runs and the constant-load front springs are matched to carry winch and bar work without sagging. Backed by manufacturer warranty, dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment support from our technical team before and after you order.

Front spring rate on a BT-50 needs to match what sits ahead of the firewall — steel bull bar, winch, and driving lights all add constant weight over the front axle. If you're running a heavy steel bar and a winch, ask our team about the higher-rate King or Dobinsons option before you order, as it changes unladen ride height and comfort. Common front accessories affecting spring choice include steel bull bars, winches, and light bar or spotlight brackets.
This is a bolt-in strut swap best handled by an experienced 4WD fitter or suspension workshop, given the strut top mount and lower ball joint separation involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory straight after fitting — the extra ride height changes front camber and caster and will chew through tyres if left unchecked. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the springs to settle to final ride height before any fine-tuning. If you're lifting the front, it's worth pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct control arm angle and restore suspension travel.
Bilstein has built monotube shocks for factory 4WD fitment and aftermarket touring applications for decades, and the B6 Offroad range is one of their core off-road lines sold in Australia. Kits are backed by manufacturer warranty and dispatched from local stock, with our team able to advise on spring rate before you buy. Tradespeople and tourers running BT-50s for towing and load work choose Bilstein because the monotube design holds damping characteristics consistently as the shock heats up — view the full Bilstein range to compare against other lift options.
This kit suits BT-50 Gen 3 owners adding a bull bar, winch and driving lights who need the front end to sit level again, plus tourers wanting a firmer, more controlled front end for corrugations and beach tracks. Tradies carrying constant tool or canopy weight over the front axle benefit from the load-matched spring rate. If you're also carrying constant rear payload — camper, canopy, water — pair this with airbag suspension for the rear to keep the truck level front to rear.

This front lift kit is designed specifically for Mazda BT-50 Gen 3 models built 2020-on, fitted with the factory 3.0L turbo diesel. It's a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory front strut, so no chassis modification is needed. If you're running a Gen 1 or Gen 2 BT-50 (pre-2020), this kit won't fit — those models use a different front-end architecture. Check your build plate date or contact our team to confirm your exact model year.
This kit delivers a 2" lift at the front axle, measured at the coil spring perch once the vehicle is back on the ground. Actual ride height gained depends on your vehicle's factory GVM rating and any front accessories already fitted, such as a bull bar. Rear ride height is unaffected by this kit — it is front struts only. For a front and rear pair, ask our team about matching rear leaf spring options for the BT-50.
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 monotube front struts, pre-assembled with 2" raised coil springs from King or Dobinsons, plus top mounts, bearings, dust boots and bump stops. All mounting hardware for a direct bolt-in front strut swap is included. Rear shocks, leaf springs and control arms are sold separately.
This is a front-only kit, so it addresses front-end load from bull bars, winches and driving lights rather than towball weight, which loads the rear axle. For BT-50s used for towing, we recommend pairing this front kit with an upgraded rear leaf spring or airbag suspension to control rear sag under towball load. Talk to our team about matching front and rear spring rates for your specific tow setup.
Not always, but it's worth considering. At 2" of front lift the factory control arm geometry is still within a workable range for most BT-50 Gen 3 owners, though some notice reduced front travel or altered camber curves. Upgraded control arms correct the arm angle at ride height and can restore more of the factory suspension travel. Our team can advise whether it's needed based on your accessories and intended use.
Yes. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit, as the 2" lift changes front camber and caster angles from factory settings. Skipping alignment will cause uneven and accelerated tyre wear, particularly on the front outer edges. We recommend a full four-wheel alignment straight after fitment and again after the 500km bed-in period.
Yes. This kit is available with King or Dobinsons front springs, and spring rate can be matched to your constant front accessory load — bull bar weight, winch, and light bar brackets all factor in. If you're running a heavier steel bar and winch combination, contact our team before ordering so we can confirm the correct spring rate for your build.
A 2" front lift typically provides enough extra clearance for a modest tyre size increase, though the exact clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether you're also running a rear lift. We recommend checking tyre and wheel clearance against your specific combination, and our team can advise based on similar BT-50 Gen 3 builds we've helped fit.
This kit comes with Bilstein's manufacturer warranty covering the B6 Offroad struts, and the King or Dobinsons springs carry their respective supplier warranty. Exact warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase — contact our team for the current warranty period on this kit. We also provide fitment support if you have questions once the kit arrives.
Yes. The Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube design is tuned to balance sealed-road comfort with off-road control, so it's suitable for BT-50s used as a daily driver as well as weekend touring. Many owners run this exact setup as their only vehicle, using it for commuting, towing light loads and occasional off-road trips. The firmer valving compared to a stock strut is noticeable but not harsh on well-maintained bitumen.
