The Bilstein Ultimate 2" Lift Kit suits the Toyota FJ Cruiser (2006-On) and pairs Bilstein B6 Offroad monotube shock absorbers with King Springs 2" raised coil springs front and rear. Blackhawk adjustable control arms correct caster and camber at ride height, so you get proper geometry instead of the bump-steer common with budget lifts. This is a matched system — spring rate, shock valving and arm geometry are all set for FJ Cruiser weight distribution, not a generic bolt-on. In stock in Australia, backed by manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our lift kit range specialists.

Spring rate should be matched to what you're carrying day to day, not just the vehicle's kerb weight. If your FJ Cruiser runs a bull bar, winch, roof rack, drawer system or long-range fuel tank, tell our team so we can confirm the right coil rate front and rear before dispatch. Front accessories (bull bar, winch) load the front springs constantly, while roof racks, drawers and camper gear load the rear — both affect ride height and handling if mismatched.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD workshop or a competent DIY installer with the right tools, given the control arm and steering geometry work involved. A wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to set caster, camber and toe correctly at the new ride height. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs and shock bushes to settle before final alignment checks. We recommend pairing this kit with control arm upgrades where extended travel or larger tyres are planned.
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers since 1954 and supplies OE suspension to several 4WD manufacturers, which is a fair indicator of manufacturing consistency. This kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and supported locally by our Australian fitment team who can talk you through spring rate and control arm choices. Tradespeople and tourers alike run Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks because the monotube design copes with sustained corrugations without the fade some twin-tube shocks show — view the full Bilstein range to compare options for your vehicle.
This kit suits FJ Cruiser owners who tour with a loaded roof rack or drawer system, tradespeople who carry tools and equipment daily, and anyone wanting corrected steering geometry after a 2" lift. If you're regularly carrying variable heavy loads or towing, also look at airbag suspension to add load-levelling on top of this kit's fixed spring rate.
This Bilstein Ultimate 2" Lift Kit is dispatched from Australian stock with expert fitment support on hand — browse our full lift kit range or contact our team to confirm spring rate before you order.

Yes — this Bilstein Ultimate kit is built specifically for the Toyota FJ Cruiser (GSJ15R) sold in Australia from 2006 onward, fitted with the 4.0L V6 petrol engine. It is not a universal kit — spring rates and control arm geometry are set for this platform. If you're unsure of your exact build or have already modified your suspension, contact our team with your VIN or rego details before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear using King Springs raised coil springs matched to the Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks. The actual ride height gain can vary slightly depending on your vehicle's accessory load and tyre size. Front geometry is corrected by the included Blackhawk control arms rather than left to settle on its own.
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 shocks, 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shocks, 2 x King Springs 2" raised front coils, 2 x King Springs 2" raised rear coils, and 2 x Blackhawk adjustable front upper control arms. Mounting hardware, bushes and fitment instructions are also included. Rear trailing arms and the panhard rod are factory items and are retained, not replaced.
Yes, the coil spring rates in this kit are selected to handle the FJ Cruiser's factory weight plus moderate accessory and towball loads. If you're towing a heavier van or camper regularly, tell our team the constant load so we can confirm the rear coil rate is right for you before dispatch. For variable loads, pairing this kit with airbag suspension gives you extra load-levelling control.
This kit already includes Blackhawk adjustable front upper control arms, so no separate purchase is needed for correct front geometry at 2" of lift. These arms allow caster and camber to be adjusted back within factory tolerance after the lift is fitted. Rear geometry is handled by the factory four-link setup, which is retained.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Lift changes caster, camber and toe angles, and the Blackhawk control arms need to be set correctly to avoid uneven tyre wear. We recommend an alignment straight after fitting and a follow-up check after the 500km bedding-in period.
King Springs offers coil options to suit different accessory loads, so talk to our team about your bull bar, winch, roof rack or drawer setup before ordering. Matching spring rate to your actual constant load keeps ride height and handling consistent. We can advise the right combination for your specific FJ Cruiser build.
A 2" lift typically creates clearance for a modest tyre size increase over standard, but the exact figure depends on your wheel offset and whether you're running mudflaps or guard trimming. Confirm your intended tyre size with our team so we can advise on clearance before you buy tyres. Wheel alignment settings should also be reviewed once new tyres are fitted.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the shock absorbers, along with the King Springs and Blackhawk manufacturer warranties on their respective components. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment invoice for any warranty claim. Contact our team if you need the specific warranty terms in writing before you order.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks are tuned to balance daily on-road comfort with off-road control, not just track or trail performance. Many FJ Cruiser owners run this kit as their everyday setup while still towing or touring on weekends. Ride quality on-road stays predictable once the alignment is set correctly after fitting.
