Selecting the correct spring rate is critical to achieving optimal ride height, comfort and component longevity. King Springs are available in multiple rates designed to accommodate different constant accessory loads — weight that remains on your vehicle at all times, not occasional cargo or passengers. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, auxiliary batteries, upgraded bumpers and roof rack systems. Rear constant loads include drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars and permanently mounted recovery equipment. Occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing a caravan should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection, as this will result in an overly stiff ride and potential damage to other suspension components. During checkout, accurately assess only your permanently fitted accessories to choose the appropriate spring rate for front and rear.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, safety and warranty compliance. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore factory camber, caster and toe specifications and prevent premature tyre wear. All springs and shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period during which the components settle and reach optimal performance — ride height may lower slightly during this period. Depending on your desired lift height and driving conditions, you may also want to consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct suspension geometry and maximise suspension travel and articulation.
Bilstein has been engineering world-class monotube shock absorbers in Germany since 1954, with a reputation built on motorsport success, OEM partnerships with premium manufacturers, and unmatched durability in harsh environments. The Bilstein suspension range is trusted by Australian tourers, outback explorers, tradespeople and emergency services for its consistent performance, fade-free damping and exceptional longevity. Every Bilstein shock is backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and decades of proven real-world performance across every terrain type Australia can offer.
This Bilstein and King Springs lift kit is ideal for Toyota Fortuner owners who demand premium ride quality without sacrificing capability — including touring families carrying roof-top tents and camping gear, tradespeople who need reliable load-carrying performance every day, and caravan towers seeking improved stability and control. If you regularly carry heavy rear loads or tow at maximum capacity, consider adding airbag suspension to further enhance load support and provide on-the-fly adjustability for varying loads and road conditions.

This Bilstein 2" lift kit is engineered specifically for the Toyota Fortuner GUN156R series from 2015 onwards, including all facelift models up to current production. It fits all engine variants including the 2.8L turbo diesel. To confirm exact fitment for your vehicle's build date and variant, check your compliance plate for the series code or contact our team with your VIN number. We can verify compatibility and help you select the correct spring rates for your specific accessory setup.
This kit delivers a 2 inch (approximately 50mm) lift over factory ride height when correctly installed with appropriate spring rates for your constant accessory load. Actual lift height achieved may vary slightly depending on the weight of permanently fitted accessories such as bull bars, winches, drawer systems and roof racks. During the initial 500km break-in period, springs will settle by approximately 10-15mm as the coil material compresses and components bed in. Final ride height stabilises after this settling period and normal driving conditions.
This kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x Bilstein B6 monotube front shock absorbers, 2 x King Springs heavy duty front coil springs, 2 x Bilstein B6 monotube rear shock absorbers, and 2 x King Springs heavy duty rear coil springs. All components are matched and engineered specifically for the Toyota Fortuner platform. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, differential drop kits and installation hardware are not included but may be recommended or required depending on your specific vehicle configuration and desired geometry outcomes.
Yes, this lift kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the Bilstein B6's velocity-sensitive damping and the King Springs progressive rate coil design. The upgraded spring rates provide superior load support and reduce rear squat when towing, while the Bilstein shocks control body roll and maintain stability at highway speeds. For maximum towing performance and adjustability, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear, which allows you to fine-tune support based on towball weight and road conditions. Always select rear spring rates based on your constant rear accessory weight, not towing loads.
Upper control arm upgrades are not mandatory for a 2 inch lift on the Toyota Fortuner, but they are highly recommended if you want to maximise suspension travel, improve wheel alignment geometry and reduce ball joint wear. Upgraded adjustable control arms allow your installer to restore factory camber and caster angles more precisely, improving tyre wear patterns and on-road handling. They also provide additional clearance for larger tyres and increase suspension articulation for off-road driving. Our suspension specialists can advise whether control arms are necessary for your specific driving style and requirements.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit. Raising your vehicle's ride height alters suspension geometry, affecting camber, caster and toe angles, which directly impacts tyre wear, steering feel and handling safety. Your installer should perform a complete alignment to factory specifications or better, adjusting all four corners to ensure even tyre contact and optimal steering response. Skipping alignment will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, poor handling and potential safety issues. Always use a reputable alignment shop experienced with lifted 4WD vehicles.
Yes, King Springs are available in multiple rates for both front and rear applications, and selecting the correct rate is essential for achieving proper ride height and comfort. During checkout, you'll be prompted to select spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the permanently fitted weight such as bull bars, winches, drawers and auxiliary fuel tanks. Front and rear loads should be assessed independently, as they often differ significantly. Our team can help you calculate your accessory weight and recommend the appropriate spring rates. Remember: only constant loads should be considered, not occasional cargo or towing weight.
A 2 inch lift on the Toyota Fortuner typically allows fitment of tyres up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (depending on wheel offset and rim width) without rubbing under normal driving conditions. More aggressive tyre sizes may require minor trimming of plastic guard liners or fitting of aftermarket guards and flares. Tyre clearance also depends on wheel offset — running a more aggressive negative offset pushes tyres outward and may cause rubbing on suspension components or body work during full lock or compression. Always test fit your desired tyre and wheel combination and check clearance at full steering lock and suspension droop before committing to a size.
Bilstein B6 shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. King Springs coil springs also carry a manufacturer warranty against defects and premature sagging when correctly matched to load requirements. Warranty terms require professional installation by a qualified technician and proper vehicle use within rated capacities. Warranty claims are handled directly through 4WD Suspension Australia — simply contact our team with proof of purchase and details of the issue. Both brands have excellent reputations for standing behind their products and supporting Australian customers.
Absolutely. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise ride quality, this Bilstein and King Springs combination is specifically engineered to maintain the Toyota Fortuner's refined on-road comfort while adding capability. The Bilstein B6 monotube shocks use velocity-sensitive damping that absorbs small road imperfections for a smooth highway ride, while controlling body roll and maintaining stability during cornering and emergency manoeuvres. King Springs progressive rate coils provide a compliant ride under normal loads while supporting heavier payloads without bottoming out. This kit is equally at home on daily commutes, long-distance highway touring and weekend off-road adventures.
