Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride quality and load-carrying performance. Only select spring rates based on your constant (permanent) load — this includes accessories fitted year-round such as bull bars, winches, roof racks, canopies, drawer systems, second batteries, and long-range fuel tanks. Do not factor in occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing — King Springs' progressive-rate design naturally handles temporary weight increases. Common front constant loads include steel bull bars (25-40kg), winches (30-50kg), upgraded battery systems (15-25kg), and larger intercoolers or auxiliary lights. Rear constant loads typically include canopies or hardtops (60-100kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), dual spare wheel carriers (30-50kg), and rear bar protection (20-35kg). Over-springing your Prado by selecting rates for occasional loads will result in a harsh, jarring ride on daily commutes and unladen highway travel.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension workshop is strongly recommended for this kit to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and post-installation alignment. While experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate workshop tools can complete the installation, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to restore factory steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and ensure safe handling characteristics. All shock absorbers and coil springs require a 500km break-in period during which the springs will settle to their final ride height (typically 10-15mm lower than initial installation height) and the shock oil will reach optimal operating viscosity. On heavily-loaded or extreme touring builds, consider upgrading to heavy-duty upper control arms to restore positive castor angle and improve steering returnability after the 50mm lift.
Bilstein has been engineering world-leading monotube shock absorbers since 1954, with their technology proven in motorsport, heavy commercial vehicles, and extreme off-road expeditions across every continent. The B6 range represents Bilstein's core replacement and upgrade shock for 4WD touring and daily driving — rigorously tested on Australian corrugations, bulldust, and coastal salt environments to ensure long service life and consistent performance. Bilstein products are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by a national network of authorised dealers and service centres. Explore the full Bilstein suspension range for gas shocks, steering dampers, and complete lift solutions trusted by serious tourers, tradespeople, and emergency services across Australia.
This kit is ideal for Toyota Prado 90/95 owners who demand premium ride quality alongside genuine off-road capability — including weekend adventurers, grey nomad tourers, tradies carrying constant equipment loads, and families exploring remote tracks with roof-top tents and camping gear. If you regularly tow caravans or heavy trailers, this kit's rear spring selection ensures minimal squat, though caravan tourers should also consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling and adjustable rear support. Daily drivers who've added bull bars and roof racks will appreciate the King Springs' ability to restore factory ride height while the Bilstein B6 dampers eliminate the wallowing and instability caused by worn factory shocks.
All Bilstein and King Springs components are held in Australian stock for fast dispatch Australia-wide, with expert technical support available to help you select the perfect spring rates for your specific build and usage. Whether you're building a capable tourer or simply restoring your Prado's factory handling with a useful lift increase, this kit delivers the German engineering precision and Australian durability you need.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for both Toyota Prado 90 Series (1996-2002) and 95 Series (1996-2002) models, covering all petrol and diesel variants. The Bilstein B6 shocks and King Springs coils are designed as direct bolt-in replacements for factory suspension components. If you're unsure about your exact series or have a modified vehicle, our team can confirm fitment compatibility before you order.
This kit delivers a 2-inch (approximately 50mm) lift over factory ride height, measured at final settled height after the 500km break-in period. Initial installation height may be 10-15mm higher before the springs settle under use. The final lift height can vary slightly depending on your selected spring rate and constant accessory load — heavier front-end setups with bull bars and winches may settle closer to 45mm, while lighter builds may achieve 52-55mm of lift.
The kit includes two Bilstein B6 monotube front shock absorbers, two King Springs front coil springs, two Bilstein B6 rear shock absorbers, and two King Springs rear coil springs — everything needed for a complete four-corner suspension upgrade. Spring rates are customisable during checkout to match your constant load requirements. Note that this kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop spacers, or fitting hardware, which may be required depending on your vehicle's existing setup and modifications.
Yes, when fitted with correctly-rated rear springs for your constant load, this kit significantly improves towing stability and reduces rear squat compared to worn factory suspension. The Bilstein B6's velocity-sensitive damping controls trailer sway and body movement, while King Springs' progressive-rate design stiffens under towing loads. For caravan tourers who tow regularly or carry maximum GVM loads, we recommend adding supplementary airbag suspension to fine-tune rear height and support based on variable trailer weights.
While not absolutely mandatory for a 2-inch lift, upgrading to heavy-duty or adjustable upper control arms is highly recommended for optimal steering geometry and long-term suspension performance. A 50mm lift will alter your castor angle, which can affect steering returnability and highway stability. Adjustable upper control arms allow your installer to restore factory castor settings or dial in improved on-road feel, and they provide stronger ball joints and bushings for touring loads and off-road articulation.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Prado 90/95 Series. The 50mm lift will alter your vehicle's camber, castor, and toe angles, which can cause premature tyre wear, poor handling, and unsafe steering behaviour if left uncorrected. Your installer should perform the alignment immediately after fitment, then recheck it after the 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled to their final height.
Select spring rates based only on your constant (permanent) accessory load — items fitted year-round such as bull bars, winches, canopies, drawer systems, and roof racks. Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing weight, as King Springs' progressive design naturally handles temporary loads. If you're unsure of your total constant weight, our team can help you calculate front and rear loads based on your specific accessory list and recommend the optimal spring rates for your build.
A 2-inch lift on the Prado 90/95 Series typically allows fitment of 265/75R16 or 31-inch tyres with minimal to no trimming, depending on wheel offset and driving conditions. Some light trimming of inner guards or bump stops may be required for full articulation off-road. If you're planning aggressive wheel and tyre combinations, we recommend consulting with your installer about potential guard modifications, offset requirements, and whether additional suspension travel limiters are needed to prevent tyre contact at full compression.
Bilstein B6 shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with coverage periods varying by usage type (consult your invoice or contact us for specific terms). King Springs coil springs carry their own manufacturer warranty against sagging and breakage under normal operating conditions. Both brands are supported by established Australian distributor networks, ensuring you have access to warranty support and replacement parts nationwide throughout the life of your Prado.
Absolutely — when fitted with correctly-rated springs for your actual constant load, this kit delivers ride quality that matches or exceeds factory comfort while adding capability for off-road and loaded touring. Bilstein B6 monotube technology provides controlled, progressive damping that soaks up highway undulations and speed bumps without harshness, while King Springs' variable-rate design maintains compliance over small bumps. Over-springing by selecting heavy-duty rates for occasional loads will create a harsh ride, so accurate load assessment during spring selection is critical for daily driving comfort.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our 95 Series before our trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality on corrugated tracks is so much better than the old setup, and the kids actually stopped complaining about being bounced around in the back. Really impressed with how it handles both highway driving and beach tracks – well worth the investment for anyone doing regular family camping trips.(5)
Bloody good lift kit for a work horse
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to my 95 Prado about six months back and it's been copping a daily beating between work sites and the odd weekend trip out bush. The ride quality is heaps better than the old setup, even when I'm loaded up with tools and gear. Worth every cent if you're actually using your truck properly.(5)
Proper Setup for Serious Remote Touring
Finally got this Bilstein kit fitted to my 95 Series before heading out to the Canning Stock Route, and it's transformed how the Prado handles a loaded setup. The ride quality is noticeably better than my old suspension even with the camper and long-range tanks full, and it soaks up the corrugations without bottoming out. Well worth the investment if you're doing proper remote work, not just weekend beach runs.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our 95 Series before our trip up to Cape York and couldn't be happier with the results. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock even when loaded up with the camper trailer and all the family's gear, and we handled the corrugations without any dramas. The extra clearance gave us the confidence to tackle tracks we would've avoided before, and the kids actually commented on how much smoother the drive felt compared to our old setup.(5)
