Choose your spring rate based on what's permanently fitted, not just occasional loads. A steel bullbar, winch and driving lights up front, or a canopy, drawers and long-range fuel out back, all add constant weight that changes which King spring suits your GU Y61 Ute. Talk to our team about your accessory list before ordering so the springs settle at the correct 2" ride height rather than sagging under load.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with a hoist and spring compressors, as the shocks and springs are supplied as separate matched components. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment because ride height and castor angle both change with the extra 2" of lift. Allow a 500km settling period for the King springs to seat before a final alignment check. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
Bilstein has supplied monotube shock technology to Australian 4WD owners and tourers for decades, with the B6 range built around the same gas-pressurised, digressive-piston design used across its passenger and 4WD lines. Every kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty, giving tradespeople and long-distance tourers a shock they can rely on for daily driving and weekend touring alike. You can view the full Bilstein range to compare shock options for other applications on your fleet or tow vehicle.
This kit suits GU Y61 Ute owners who need genuine 2" clearance for touring tracks, station work or towing, without moving to a heavier commercial-style setup. Tradespeople running canopies and tool storage, and tourers carrying camping gear, both benefit from the added spring capacity. If your rear load is more variable — swapping between empty and fully loaded — talk to us about airbag suspension to complement this kit.

This kit is built for coil/coil GU Y61 Ute variants produced between 1997 and 2016, where both the front and rear run coil springs rather than rear leaf packs. If you're unsure whether your Ute is coil/coil or leaf-rear, check your build plate or contact our team before ordering. We can confirm fitment against your VIN and chassis configuration. Getting this right matters because the King springs and Bilstein shocks are specific to the coil/coil rear end.
This kit delivers a genuine 2" lift front and rear, achieved through the King coil springs working with Bilstein B6 monotube shocks tuned to suit that ride height. The lift figure refers to the increase in ride height once the springs have settled, not just at first fitment. It's enough to noticeably improve approach clearance and departure angle without pushing the vehicle into unstable geometry. Expect a short settling period before the final height is reached.
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.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
Yes, the King coil springs are matched to hold the 2" ride height under a constant accessory load, which suits Utes set up with canopies, tool storage or touring gear for towing work. The Bilstein B6 shocks help control body movement and sway under load on the highway. Always check your GU Y61's GVM, GCM and tow ball download limits are not exceeded once accessories and a trailer are added. If your load varies significantly between trips, ask us about spring rate options for your setup.

Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Ride height and castor angle both change with the added 2" of lift, which affects tyre wear and steering feel if left unchecked. We recommend an initial rough alignment after fitment, followed by a final alignment once the King springs have settled over roughly 500km. Skipping alignment is one of the most common causes of uneven tyre wear on lifted GU Y61 Utes.
King coil springs for the GU Y61 Ute are available in different load ratings to suit varying constant accessory loads front and rear. If you're carrying a bullbar, winch and driving lights up front, or a canopy and drawers out back, the correct spring rate keeps the vehicle sitting at the intended 2" height rather than sagging. Contact our team with your accessory list before ordering so we can confirm the right spring rate for your build.
A 2" lift on the GU Y61 Ute typically allows for a moderate increase in tyre diameter over standard, though the exact size depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether any trimming is needed. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before purchase so we can flag any clearance issues specific to your Ute's wheel arch and guard setup. Getting this check done early avoids rubbing on full-lock or at full compression.
This kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 shocks, supported through 4WD Suspension Australia for local warranty claims and fitment questions. King coil springs are also covered under their manufacturer terms. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date on file, as this is required for any warranty claim. Contact our team directly if you have any concerns after fitment.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 shocks are designed to retain a factory-like damping character, so the GU Y61 Ute stays comfortable and predictable for daily commuting and highway driving. The King coil springs are matched to the shock valving rather than being an overly firm off-road-only setup. Many owners run this kit as their everyday suspension while still getting the extra clearance and payload margin for weekend touring or work use. If you're mainly touring rather than commuting, our team can also discuss firmer options.
