Choose your spring rate based on what stays fitted to the vehicle day-to-day, not just occasional loads. Front-end weight from a bull bar, winch or dual battery tray calls for a firmer front spring to keep the nose from sagging. Rear-end accessories such as a canopy, drawer system, water tank or caravan tow ball weight determine whether a standard or heavy-duty rear coil is the better fit — our team can help match the spring to your accessory list.
Fitting this kit involves shock and spring replacement at all four corners and is best carried out by an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or a competent DIY installer with the right tools. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to bring camber, caster and toe back within specification at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and load. For MU-X UCS40 utes running a bull bar or heavier front accessories, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms helps restore correct suspension geometry at the 2" height.
Bilstein has built monotube and twin-tube shock absorbers for OEM and aftermarket fitment for decades, and its B6 Offroad range is calibrated specifically for lifted 4WDs running everyday and touring loads. Kits are backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and supplied through our Australian stock with fitment support from our team. Explore the full Bilstein range for other MU-X-compatible shocks and springs.
This kit suits MU-X UCS40 owners who tour with a loaded roof rack and bull bar, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment in the rear, and caravan or camper trailer owners who need consistent ride height under tow ball load. If your rear load is more constant than occasional, also compare our airbag suspension options for load-levelling support.

This kit is designed specifically for the Isuzu MU-X UCS40 built from August 2021 onward. It is not a universal fit for earlier MU-X generations from 2013-2020, which use different suspension geometry. If you are unsure of your build date, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the MU-X UCS40. Our team can confirm fitment against your VIN before you order.
This kit raises the Isuzu MU-X UCS40 by 2" front and rear when fitted with the included Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks and King coil springs. The lift is achieved through the raised coil springs, with the Bilstein shocks valved to match the extra travel. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and accessories fitted. We recommend a post-fit alignment to confirm ride height is even side to side.
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 shock absorbers, 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shock absorbers, and matched King raised coil springs front and rear. Mounting hardware and bushes for the shock installation are included, along with fitting instructions. Upper control arms, extended brake lines and steering dampers are not included and are sold separately if required for your build.
Yes, the King rear coil springs in this kit are matched to support tow ball weight and rear cargo without excessive sag. Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks are valved to control the extra movement that comes with a loaded rear end during towing. For MU-X owners towing heavier caravans or campers regularly, our team can advise whether a firmer rear spring option suits your tow ball weight. Airbag suspension is also worth considering for variable towing loads.
Upgraded control arms are not included in this kit but are recommended for MU-X UCS40 owners wanting to fully correct front camber and caster at the 2" lift height. Standard control arms will still function at this lift height, though geometry will sit slightly outside factory specification. Adjustable aftermarket control arms let your alignment technician bring camber and caster back within range. Our control arm range includes options suited to this lift height.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. The 2" lift changes camber, caster and toe angles from factory specification, and an alignment brings these back within range for even tyre wear and predictable steering. We recommend a 500km bedding-in period before final alignment so the springs and shocks fully settle. Skipping alignment can accelerate tyre wear and affect handling.
This kit is supplied with King coil springs rated for a 2" lift on the MU-X UCS40, matched to typical touring and towing accessory loads. If you are running heavier front accessories such as a winch bar, or carrying a constant heavy rear load, contact our team to discuss whether a firmer spring rate suits your setup better. Getting the spring rate right for your actual accessory load, not just occasional load, gives the best ride and handling result.
The 2" lift from this kit typically provides enough clearance for a modest tyre size increase over factory diameter on the MU-X UCS40, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination against factory clearance before ordering larger tyres. Our team can advise on tyre and wheel combinations that work with this lift height.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 Offroad shock absorbers and King coil springs. Exact warranty terms are confirmed at the time of purchase and vary by component. The kit is dispatched from our Australian stock, and our team can assist with any warranty claims after fitment.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain a factory-like ride for daily driving while adding the ground clearance and load support needed for touring and towing. Bilstein's B6 Offroad valving is calibrated to avoid the harsh or bouncy feel that can come with some aftermarket lift kits. Many MU-X UCS40 owners run this kit as their daily driver and weekend tourer without needing to change settings between uses.
