The Bilstein 2" Lift Kit for the Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series (1990-1997) pairs Bilstein B6 monotube gas shocks with matched King Springs coil springs front and rear for a genuine 2" lift. Monotube damping keeps body control tight over corrugations while the coils carry accessory loads like bull bars, winches and roof racks. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod. In stock in Australia with Bilstein manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Choose a spring rate based on the constant weight carried, not the occasional load. Front rates should account for bull bars, winches and driving lights, while rear rates need to cover dual batteries, drawers, fridges and towball download from a caravan or camper trailer.
Fitment is a bolt-on job for an experienced workshop or a competent DIY installer with standard hand tools and a spring compressor. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to reset camber, caster and toe at the new 2" ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the King Springs coils to settle before a final alignment check. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers for touring and load-carrying 4WDs for decades, with B6 units designed around consistent damping rather than a soft factory tune. Every kit ships with Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and is backed by our Australian-based fitment support team. Tourers and tradespeople running the 80 Series choose Bilstein for shock reliability on long, corrugated stretches — view the full Bilstein range for other applications.
This kit suits 80 Series owners touring with a rooftop tent, running a bull bar and winch, or towing a camper trailer on formed tracks. If your rear load is closer to constant — a caravan or heavy canopy — pair the coils with airbag suspension for adjustable load support rather than relying on spring rate alone.

This Bilstein kit is built for the Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series produced from 1990 to 1997, covering the 1HZ diesel, 1HD-T turbo diesel and 1FZ-FE petrol variants. It's a direct bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points, no cutting or modification required. If you're unsure which drivetrain or chassis variant you have, check your compliance plate or use our parts finder for the 80 Series. Our team can also confirm fitment over the phone or via our contact form.
This kit provides a 2" lift front and rear using King Springs coil springs matched to the Bilstein B6 shocks. Both axles are raised the same amount, so the vehicle sits level rather than nose-up or nose-down. The 2" lift adds clearance for larger tyres and underbody components without pushing the CV or driveshaft angles past a safe working range. Wheel alignment after fitting confirms the vehicle sits correctly at the new ride height.
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.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
Yes, the King Springs coil springs in this kit are selected to handle constant accessory loads such as bull bars, winches, dual batteries and drawer systems that come with towing setups. For heavier constant loads like a loaded caravan, we'd suggest speaking with our team about a firmer rear spring rate or adding airbag suspension for adjustable support. The B6 monotube shocks maintain damping control when the vehicle is loaded and towing, which keeps body roll in check.

Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting this kit. Raising the vehicle 2" changes camber, caster and toe from factory settings, and running without a check can cause uneven tyre wear and vague steering. We recommend an alignment straight after fit and a second check after the 500km coil spring break-in period. This ensures the geometry stays correct as the springs settle to their final ride height.
This kit ships with a standard King Springs rate matched to typical 80 Series touring loads, but other rates are available if your accessory load differs. Heavier front-end setups with a winch and bull bar, or rear loads with drawers and water tanks, may suit a firmer coil. Contact our team with your accessory list and we'll confirm the right spring rate for your setup before you order.
The 2" lift from this kit typically clears a moderate increase in tyre diameter over factory-size rubber on the 80 Series, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. We recommend confirming your intended tyre and wheel combination with our team before ordering to avoid rubbing on guards or suspension components at full lock. Flares or trimming may be needed for larger tyre and wheel combinations.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 shock absorbers, with King Springs coil springs covered under their own manufacturer terms. Warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal on and off-road use. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date, as warranty claims are processed through our team using your order details. Contact us directly if you have any concerns after fitting.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 monotube shocks are tuned to give controlled handling on blacktop while still performing on formed and corrugated roads. Many 80 Series owners run this exact combination as a daily driver that also tows and tours on weekends. The firmer damping feel compared to a factory shock is noticeable but not harsh, and ride quality settles further after the 500km break-in period.
