Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride height, comfort, and component longevity. Your spring rate selection should be based on the constant load your vehicle carries — this means accessories and gear that are fitted or loaded the majority of the time, not occasional items. Common front constant loads include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), heavy-duty batteries, and driving lights. Rear constant loads typically include drawer systems (50-80kg), dual spare wheels (60kg), long-range fuel tanks (when full, 80-120kg), rear bars, and permanently mounted toolboxes. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection — if you regularly tow, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, safety, and warranty compliance. Installation typically requires 4-6 hours depending on workshop facilities and technician experience. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure optimal handling characteristics. All Bilstein shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period during which the shocks will settle and reach optimal damping performance — avoid extreme off-road use during this period. Depending on your final lift height and suspension geometry, you may benefit from upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and improve steering feel.
Bilstein has been the benchmark in monotube shock absorber technology since 1954, with a proven track record in motorsport, OEM supply to premium European manufacturers, and aftermarket 4WD applications worldwide. The Bilstein B6 range is extensively tested across Australian outback conditions and backed by comprehensive warranty support through authorised dealers. Trusted by professional tourers, commercial operators, and weekend adventurers alike, Bilstein shocks deliver consistent, fade-free performance whether you're crossing the Nullarbor, towing through the High Country, or commuting in city traffic.
This Bilstein lift kit is ideal for Pajero NM-NX owners who demand premium ride quality without compromising off-road capability. It's perfectly suited to long-distance tourers carrying rooftop tents and camping gear, families towing camper trailers across remote tracks, and tradespeople who need reliable daily-driver performance with enhanced ground clearance. If you regularly carry heavy rear loads or tow near your vehicle's GVM, consider supplementing this kit with load-assist airbag suspension for on-demand rear support and level towing.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Pajero models from series NM through to NX, covering production years from 2000 to 2021. This includes the NM (2000-2002), NP (2002-2006), NS (2006-2009), NT (2009-2011), NW (2011-2015), and NX (2015-2021) series across both petrol and diesel engine variants. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for factory suspension components with no chassis modifications required. If you're unsure about your specific model year or variant, use our online parts finder or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
This kit provides approximately 50mm (2 inches) of lift over standard factory ride height, measured at both front and rear axles when correctly installed with appropriate spring rates. This lift allows fitment of tyres up to approximately 265/70R17 or 265/75R16 (around 31-32 inches) on standard offset wheels without significant trimming, though final clearance depends on wheel offset, backspacing, and specific tyre tread patterns. For larger tyres or aftermarket wheels with aggressive offsets, minor trimming of plastic guards or fitting of aftermarket flares may be required. The increased ground clearance also improves approach, departure, and breakover angles for enhanced off-road capability.
This complete kit includes two Bilstein B6 monotube front shock absorbers, two King front coil springs, two Bilstein B6 monotube rear shock absorbers, and two King rear coil springs — everything needed to lift both front and rear axles. The King springs are available in multiple load ratings which you select during checkout based on your vehicle's constant accessory weight. This kit does NOT include upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop spacers, or other suspension components that may be required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and intended use — these items are available separately if needed.
Yes, this Bilstein B6 and King spring combination is well-suited to towing applications thanks to the monotube shock design's superior heat dissipation and fade-free damping under sustained load. You can select heavier rear spring rates during ordering to accommodate regular towing, though it's important to note that spring rates should be based on constant loads only, not occasional towing. For maximum towing versatility and the ability to adjust rear suspension support based on load, we recommend pairing this lift kit with airbag suspension which provides on-demand load support and maintains level ride height when towing. The Bilstein shocks will maintain excellent control and stability whether you're towing a camper trailer through corrugated tracks or highway cruising unladen.
While this 2-inch lift kit will install using factory control arms, upgrading to adjustable or extended aftermarket control arms is recommended to optimise front-end geometry and restore correct castor angles after lifting. Factory control arms will work, but you may notice slightly reduced steering self-centering and on-road feel compared to stock height. Adjustable upper control arms allow fine-tuning of castor and camber angles during wheel alignment, significantly improving steering response, high-speed stability, and tyre wear patterns. For Pajero NM-NX models used primarily for touring or daily driving with occasional off-road use, upgraded control arms are beneficial but not mandatory — discuss your specific requirements with your installer during fitment.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit and should be performed by a workshop with 4WD alignment experience and appropriate equipment. Lifting your Pajero will alter front castor, camber, and toe settings, plus rear toe and thrust angles, all of which directly affect steering feel, tyre wear, and vehicle stability. Driving with incorrect alignment after lifting can cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, and compromised handling safety. The alignment should be performed after the vehicle has been driven approximately 50-100km to allow the new springs to settle to their final ride height, and should be rechecked after the initial 500km break-in period.
Yes, this kit allows you to select independent front and rear spring rates during checkout to precisely match your vehicle's constant accessory loads. This customisation is critical because front and rear loads vary significantly — your front may carry a heavy bull bar and winch while your rear carries drawer systems and dual batteries. When ordering, you'll select spring rates based on the constant weight your vehicle carries in each axle, measured in kilograms. It's essential to select rates based only on permanent accessories and gear, NOT occasional loads like camping equipment or passengers. Our team can provide spring rate recommendations if you provide details of your specific accessory setup, or refer to the fitment notes during checkout for guidance.
Yes, the 50mm lift provided by this kit creates sufficient clearance for tyres in the 265/70R17 to 265/75R16 size range (approximately 31-32 inches diameter) on standard or mildly aggressive wheel offsets without major modifications. This represents a significant upgrade from the factory tyre size and greatly improves ground clearance, traction, and off-road capability. Exact clearance depends on your wheel offset, backspacing, tyre brand and tread pattern, and suspension flex under load. Some minor trimming of inner guard plastic or fitting of wheel spacers may be required depending on your specific wheel and tyre combination. For larger tyres beyond 32 inches, additional lift, body trimming, or aftermarket flares will likely be required to avoid rubbing during full articulation.
Bilstein B6 shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty which covers defects in materials and workmanship when the product is installed and used according to manufacturer specifications. King coil springs similarly carry a manufacturer warranty against defects and premature sagging when correctly rated for the vehicle's load. Warranty terms require professional installation, appropriate spring rate selection, and normal use conditions. To validate your warranty, retain proof of purchase and installation receipts, and ensure your installer completes any required documentation. For specific warranty terms, conditions, and claim procedures, refer to the manufacturer warranty documentation included with your kit or contact our team for assistance.
Absolutely — one of the key advantages of the Bilstein B6 monotube design is its ability to deliver excellent on-road comfort and control while significantly improving off-road capability. Unlike budget lift kits that sacrifice highway manners for extreme off-road performance, this Bilstein and King combination maintains composed highway cruising, confident cornering, and comfortable ride quality suitable for daily commuting and long-distance touring. The monotube gas pressure design provides consistent damping across varying speeds and road conditions, while correctly selected King spring rates ensure the vehicle sits at proper ride height without excessive harshness. This makes the kit ideal for Pajero owners who use their vehicle as a daily driver and weekend tourer, rather than a dedicated rock crawler.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our NM Pajero before our last trip down the Cape York Development Road and couldn't be happier with the results. The extra clearance made a noticeable difference on the rutted tracks, and the ride quality is actually better than stock – the kids even commented on how much smoother it felt loaded up with camping gear. Installation was straightforward with no dramas, and after 3000km of mixed touring the setup has been absolutely solid.(5)
Perfect Setup for Daily Drive and Weekends
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to my NM Pajero about three months back and it's been brilliant for hauling gear to sites during the week and hitting the tracks on weekends. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, even when I'm loaded up with tools and materials. Installation was straightforward for my mechanic and everything lined up properly first go, which saved time and money.(5)
Perfect Setup for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Bilstein lift kit on my NM Pajero through the Simpson Desert and up through the Kimberley, and it's absolutely transformed the old girl. The ride quality is surprisingly composed even when loaded up with recovery gear and long-range tanks, which matters when you're doing 800km days on corrugated tracks. Fitment was spot-on with no dramas during installation, and the extra clearance has already saved my diff a few times on some gnarly creek crossings.(5)
Perfect upgrade for our family camping adventures
Been running this Bilstein lift kit on our NM Pajero for about six months now, and it's transformed our weekend trips down the coast and up into the high country. The extra clearance makes a huge difference on rutted tracks, and the kids reckon the ride is actually smoother than the tired old factory setup we had before. Really impressed with how the Bilstein shocks handle corrugations – makes those long dirt road drives to our favourite campsites much more comfortable for everyone.(5)
