The Bilstein 2" Lift Kit for the Toyota Prado 90/95 Series (1996-2002) combines Bilstein B6 monotube shock absorbers with correctly-rated King Springs coil springs for a genuine 2" lift front and rear. B6 monotube construction resists fade on long highway runs and corrugated tracks, while the matched coil rate keeps ride height stable under typical touring loads. Backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment guidance from our lift kit specialists.

Choosing the right King Springs rate depends on the constant weight sitting on the front and rear axle when the vehicle is loaded for a trip. A steel bullbar, winch and dual battery tray add real weight to the front end, while a rear tray, fridge slide, water tanks and camper trailer tow ball weight load the rear. Tell our team your typical accessory load when ordering and we'll confirm whether the standard-rated or heavier King Springs coil suits your setup.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a confident DIY installer with a spring compressor and proper jacking equipment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber and toe at the new ride height and to protect tyre wear. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the King Springs coils and B6 shocks to settle before fine-tuning tyre pressures for the new geometry. For 90/95 Series Prados running larger tyres or heavier front accessories, pairing this kit with upgraded control arms corrects castor angle and CV joint angles at the 2" lift height.
Bilstein has built monotube shock absorbers in Germany since the 1950s and its B6 range is calibrated specifically for lifted 4WD applications like the Prado 90/95 Series. Australian 4WD workshops and touring vehicle owners have fitted Bilstein shocks for decades because the monotube design handles sustained heat better than twin-tube units on long corrugated stretches. Every kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty — view the full Bilstein range to compare shock options across other models.
This kit suits Prado 90/95 Series owners who tour with a loaded roof rack and camper trailer, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment in the rear, and families running a bullbar and winch for remote travel. If you're carrying a constant heavy rear load such as a caravan tow ball weight or a canopy full of gear, also look at our airbag suspension options to fine-tune rear height under variable load.

Yes, this Bilstein kit is designed for the Toyota Prado 90 Series (J90) and 95 Series (J95) built between 1996 and 2002, covering the 3RZ-FE petrol, 5VZ-FE V6 petrol, 1KZ-TE turbo diesel and 5L-E diesel variants. If you're unsure which series or engine your Prado has, check your compliance plate or contact our fitment team with your VIN. We can confirm exact compatibility before you order.
This kit delivers a 2" lift front and rear over standard Prado 90/95 Series ride height. The lift comes from the combination of Bilstein B6 shocks matched to King Springs coil springs, rather than shocks alone. This is enough clearance for most all-terrain tyre upgrades without altering factory geometry excessively.
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 front shock absorbers, 2 x Bilstein B6 rear shock absorbers, 2 x King Springs front coil springs and 2 x King Springs rear coil springs, plus the mounting hardware and bushes needed for installation. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if your fitment requires them. Full fitment instructions and torque specifications are supplied with the kit.
Yes, the King Springs coil springs used in this kit are matched to hold the 2" lift height under typical touring and towing loads, and the Bilstein B6 shocks are valved to control body movement with a braked trailer attached. If you're towing a heavier caravan or camper regularly, tell us your tow ball weight so we can confirm whether the standard or heavier-rated rear coil suits your setup.
At a 2" lift, most Prado 90/95 Series owners run factory control arms without issue, but upgraded units correct castor angle and reduce CV joint wear if you're also running larger tyres or heavier front accessories. We recommend checking your current control arm angle after fitting. Upgraded control arms are available separately if needed.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Raising the vehicle changes camber and toe settings, and correct alignment protects tyre wear and keeps steering feel accurate. We recommend booking an alignment immediately after fitting and again after the 500km bedding-in period.
King Springs offer standard and heavier-rated coil options for the Prado 90/95 Series depending on your constant accessory load. If you're running a steel bullbar, winch and dual battery tray up front, or a loaded rear tray and water tanks, let our team know before ordering so we can match the coil rate to your setup. Getting the rate right keeps the 2" lift height consistent under load.
A 2" lift on the Prado 90/95 Series typically clears a moderately larger all-terrain tyre than standard, but exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and tyre width. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can advise on rubbing points at full steering lock and articulation.
This kit is backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 shock absorbers, and King Springs coil springs carry their own manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty terms cover manufacturing faults under normal off-road and on-road use. Contact our team for the specific warranty period and claim process if you need it.
Yes, the Bilstein B6 monotube shocks and King Springs coils in this kit are designed to maintain factory-like ride comfort on the highway while adding capability off-road. Many Prado 90/95 Series owners run this kit as their daily setup, using it for commuting through the week and touring on weekends. The digressive valving keeps the ride compliant over small bumps rather than firm and jarring.
