Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and component longevity. Spring rates should be chosen based on your constant accessory load — the weight carried in your vehicle every day, not occasional loads. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, long-range fuel tanks, heavy-duty batteries, drawer systems, and roof racks with equipment. Rear constant loads include canopies, toolboxes, dual battery systems, compressors, water tanks, and permanently mounted recovery gear. Occasional loads like passengers, camping gear, jerry cans, and towing should NOT be factored into spring rate selection — if you regularly tow or carry variable loads, consider pairing this lift kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
Professional installation by a qualified suspension workshop is strongly recommended for this complete lift kit to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety. A full 4-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure optimal handling characteristics. All suspension components require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle and shocks will bed in — minor ride height variations during this period are normal. For maximum performance and geometry correction, consider pairing this lift kit with upgraded control arms to maintain factory-like camber and caster angles at the increased ride height.
Bilstein has been engineering world-class monotube gas shock absorbers since 1954, with the B6 Offroad range representing decades of off-road racing pedigree adapted for Australian touring and commercial use. Every Bilstein suspension component undergoes rigorous testing in Australian outback conditions including corrugated tracks, desert heat, coastal salt exposure, and alpine cold to ensure reliable performance where it matters most. Trusted by touring families, trade professionals, and 4WD enthusiasts nationwide, Bilstein products are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by Australia's largest network of authorized dealers and installers.
This Bilstein lift kit is ideal for Mazda BT-50 Gen 3 owners who demand premium ride quality alongside enhanced capability — including trade professionals requiring reliable daily driver comfort with load-carrying capacity, touring families seeking improved ground clearance for remote travel without sacrificing highway manners, and caravan towers needing rear-end stability and control. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or trailers, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load leveling without compromising unladen ride quality. This kit strikes the perfect balance between practical daily driving comfort and weekend adventure capability.

This kit is specifically engineered for the Generation 3 Mazda BT-50 manufactured from September 2020 onwards (current model). The Gen 3 BT-50 is based on the Isuzu D-Max platform and features a different suspension architecture than earlier BT-50 generations. This kit will NOT fit Generation 1 (2006-2011) or Generation 2 (2011-2020) BT-50 models. If you're unsure of your vehicle's generation or manufacturing date, check your VIN plate or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This kit provides approximately 50mm (2 inches) of balanced lift front and rear. The front achieves 40mm of lift via King Springs raised coil springs, while the rear uses raised leaf springs to match. Actual achieved lift height can vary by 10-15mm depending on your vehicle's existing accessory load, spring rate selection, and the 500km settling period. Vehicles with heavier constant loads (bull bars, winches, canopies) will sit slightly lower than unladen vehicles, which is why correct spring rate selection is critical.
This is a complete bolt-on lift kit including Bilstein B6 Offroad front shock absorbers (2), King Springs front coil springs with 40mm lift (2), Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shock absorbers (2), raised rear leaf springs (2), heavy-duty U-bolts (4), polyurethane bush kit, rear brake hose spacer kit, and all necessary mounting hardware. Everything required for front and rear suspension upgrade is included — no additional components needed for basic installation, though wheel alignment and potentially extended brake lines or diff breathers may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration.
Yes, this Bilstein kit significantly improves towing performance compared to factory suspension. The raised rear leaf springs are load-rated to handle increased tongue weight, while the Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks provide superior damping control to reduce rear-end sag and sway when towing. However, for frequent towing of heavy caravans (over 2500kg), we strongly recommend adding adjustable airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load leveling and the ability to fine-tune rear ride height. The combination of this lift kit with airbags provides the ultimate towing setup for stability, control, and comfort.
While not mandatory for a 2 inch lift, upgraded control arms are highly recommended to maintain optimal suspension geometry and maximize component life. The factory control arms will still function at this ride height, but adjustable aftermarket control arms allow your installer to correct camber and caster angles back to factory specifications, improving tyre wear, steering feel, and handling characteristics. Control arms become increasingly important if you plan to fit larger tyres or do serious off-road driving where maintaining proper wheel alignment under articulation is critical.
Yes, a full 4-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit. Raising your vehicle's ride height changes suspension geometry including camber, caster, and toe angles on both front and rear axles. Driving without proper alignment will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues. Your alignment should be performed after installation and then rechecked after the initial 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled. Budget $150-250 for professional 4-wheel alignment at a suspension specialist workshop.
Yes, this kit allows you to select spring rates independently for front and rear based on your specific constant accessory load. During ordering, you'll be prompted to select spring rates — choose based only on weight permanently installed in your vehicle (bull bars, winches, canopies, toolboxes, drawer systems). Do NOT select heavier springs to accommodate occasional loads like camping gear or towing — this will result in harsh ride quality and potential component damage. If you're unsure about your accessory weights, contact our team for spring rate recommendation based on your specific setup.
A 50mm lift on the Gen 3 Mazda BT-50 typically allows for 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (depending on your wheel diameter) with minimal or no rubbing under normal driving conditions. Some light trimming of plastic inner guard liners may be required for full articulation clearance off-road. Larger tyres up to 275/70R17 may be possible with additional modifications including offset wheels and minor body trimming. Remember that significantly larger tyres affect speedometer accuracy, gear ratios, and braking performance — consult your installer about legal requirements and whether a speedometer recalibration is needed in your state.
Bilstein B6 Offroad shock absorbers are covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. King Springs front coils carry the King Springs manufacturer warranty. Leaf springs, U-bolts, and hardware components are covered by standard manufacturer warranty terms. Warranty coverage requires professional installation with proof of purchase and installation records. Note that warranty does NOT cover damage from incorrect installation, vehicle modifications beyond manufacturer specifications, competition use, or failure to perform required maintenance such as wheel alignments. Always retain your purchase receipt and installation documentation.
Absolutely — this Bilstein kit is engineered specifically for excellent daily driving comfort while adding capability for weekend adventures. The B6 Offroad shocks use velocity-sensitive valving that provides a plush, controlled ride on highways and around town when unladen, while automatically firming up over rough terrain or under load. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise on-road comfort for off-road capability, this premium Bilstein and King Springs combination maintains near-factory ride quality for daily commuting, highway touring, and urban driving. Many BT-50 owners report improved ride quality compared to worn factory suspension, especially when carrying typical trade equipment or touring accessories.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Finally got around to fitting this Bilstein 2 inch lift kit on our BT-50 and it's transformed the whole setup. We've done a few weekend trips up through the High Country since the install and the ride quality is noticeably better, especially when loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. The extra clearance has already saved our diff a couple of times on some rougher tracks, and the whole kit went together without any dramas.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the BT
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to my 2021 BT-50 about three months back and it's been brilliant for carrying my tools and gear without the rear sagging anymore. The ride quality is honestly better than stock, even when loaded up, and it handles the dirt roads out to site way better than before. Worth every cent for a proper engineered setup that actually does what it's supposed to.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Australian Tracks
Been running this Bilstein 2-inch lift kit on my BT-50 for six months now, including a proper test through the Simpson Desert and Cape York. The ride quality is genuinely impressive – those B6 shocks soak up the corrugations way better than the stock setup, and I'm not getting thrown around in the cab anymore. Worth every cent for anyone serious about remote touring.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Fitted this Bilstein 2 inch lift kit to our BT-50 last month and it's transformed how the ute handles with the camper trailer and all the family gear loaded up. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated dirt roads compared to the stock setup, and the extra clearance has already paid off on our Fraser Island trip. Really impressed with how well the Bilstein shocks and King Springs work together – worth every cent for anyone serious about touring.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for My BT-50
Just had this Bilstein 2 inch lift kit fitted to my 2021 BT-50 and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is genuinely better than stock, even when towing my van up to the High Country, and it sits perfectly level with a load in the tray. 4WD Suspension Australia had it delivered within a few days and the King Springs coils paired with the B6 shocks handle corrugations so much better than I expected.(5)
