The Bilstein 2" Lift Kit for the Toyota FJ Cruiser (2006-ON) combines B6 monotube shock absorbers with vehicle-specific King coil springs to deliver a genuine 2" lift front and rear. The monotube design carries a larger oil volume than a twin-tube shock, which helps control heat build-up on corrugated tracks and long touring runs, while the King springs are rated to support bull bars, winches and drawer systems without sagging over time. This 4WD lift kit is dispatched from Australian stock, backed by full manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our suspension team.

Choosing the right King coil spring rate comes down to what you permanently carry on the FJ Cruiser, not just the lift height you want. A vehicle running a steel bull bar, winch and long-range tank up front, or a drawer system and dual battery setup in the rear, needs a firmer rate to hold correct ride height and geometry. Common accessories that shift spring selection include bull bars, winches, snorkels, roof racks, roof top tents, drawer systems and rear-mounted tyre carriers — tell our team what you're fitting and we'll match the spring rate accordingly.
This kit is best fitted by a qualified suspension workshop or an experienced DIY mechanic with a coil spring compressor and standard hand tools. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation, as the 2" lift changes castor and camber angles at all four corners. Allow a 500km break-in period for the B6 shocks and King springs to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures and alignment. For vehicles carrying constant accessory weight, pair this kit with control arm upgrades to fully correct geometry at the new ride height.
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers for over 70 years and supplies OE damping to several 4WD and SUV manufacturers, so the B6 valving in this kit is derived from genuine engineering, not a generic aftermarket copy. Every kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and dispatched from our Australian stock with technical support if you need help matching springs to your accessories. Tourers and tradespeople running the FJ Cruiser choose this setup for its balance of on-road manners and load-carrying capability — view the full Bilstein range for other applications.
This kit suits FJ Cruiser owners fitting bull bars, winches and drawer systems for remote touring, as well as tradespeople who carry tools and equipment daily. If your accessory load varies significantly trip to trip, such as towing a camper on weekends only, it's worth asking our team about airbag suspension to supplement the coil springs for variable loads.

Yes, this Bilstein B6 kit is built for the Toyota FJ Cruiser GSJ15R series, 2006-ON, fitted with the 4.0L V6 petrol engine. It's designed as a matched front and rear set specifically for this platform, not a generic universal fit. If you're unsure of your exact model year or engine, our team can confirm compatibility before you order.
This kit delivers a genuine 2" lift front and rear using King coil springs matched to the Bilstein B6 shock valving. The lift is consistent side to side once installed correctly and settled through the 500km break-in period. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on accessory load already fitted to your FJ Cruiser.
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 two Bilstein B6 front shock absorbers and two rear, plus two King front coil springs and two rear coil springs rated for the 2" lift. It also includes mounting hardware and a fitment and torque specification sheet. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your alignment specialist recommends them.
Yes, the King coil springs in this kit are rated to help carry constant accessory loads such as tow bars, bull bars and drawer systems without sagging. For FJ Cruisers towing regularly with a heavier ball weight, tell our team your typical load so we can confirm the spring rate is matched correctly. If your load varies a lot trip to trip, ask about adding airbag suspension for extra rear support.
At a 2" lift, castor angle on the FJ Cruiser shifts enough that many owners upgrade to adjustable control arms to bring geometry back within factory tolerance. It's not always mandatory, but it does improve CV joint angles and steering feel at height. Our team can advise whether your specific FJ Cruiser needs control arms based on your lift height and driveline setup.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The 2" lift changes both castor and camber at all four corners, and skipping alignment will cause uneven tyre wear. We recommend booking the alignment straight after fitment, once the springs have had a chance to settle under the vehicle's weight.
King coil springs for this kit are available in different rates to suit varying accessory loads on the FJ Cruiser. If you're running a heavy bull bar, winch or drawer system, tell our team the combined weight and we'll recommend the correct front and rear rate. Matching spring rate to actual load is what keeps the 2" lift height consistent long term.
A 2" lift on the FJ Cruiser typically creates clearance for a moderate tyre size increase over standard, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel package with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing on full articulation. Flares or trimming may still be needed for larger tyre and wheel combinations.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 shock absorbers, with King coil springs covered under their own manufacturer terms. Full warranty details are confirmed at the time of purchase and supported directly through our Australian-based team. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date for any warranty claim.
Yes, the B6 monotube shocks are tuned to keep a controlled, comfortable ride at the 2" lift height rather than a stiff, off-road-only feel. Many FJ Cruiser owners run this exact setup as their daily driver while still carrying touring gear on weekends. On-road manners remain close to standard once the springs have completed their break-in period.
