Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for ride quality and component longevity. You must choose springs based on your constant accessory load — meaning the weight of accessories permanently fitted to your Triton, not occasional loads like camping gear or towing equipment. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded steel bumpers, driving lights, and aftermarket canopies. Adding these weights together determines your constant front load, which dictates the spring rate required to maintain the correct ride height and prevent over-compression or excessive stiffness.
This front lift kit requires professional installation by a qualified suspension technician or experienced DIY mechanic with appropriate spring compressor tools and safety equipment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings — preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining steering precision. All Bilstein shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period for the internal valving to bed in and deliver optimal damping performance. For Tritons lifted beyond 35mm or fitted with heavy front accessories, we recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore suspension geometry and improve wheel travel.
Bilstein has been the world leader in monotube shock absorber technology since 1954, with a heritage spanning Formula 1, off-road racing, and OEM fitment to premium European and American vehicles. Every Bilstein shock is tested across Australian conditions — from the Simpson Desert to the Canning Stock Route — ensuring real-world durability and performance for Australian tourers, tradespeople and weekend adventurers. Backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by more 4WD enthusiasts than any other premium suspension brand, you can view the full Bilstein range to find matched rear suspension components for your Triton.
This front lift kit is ideal for Mitsubishi Triton owners who have fitted heavy front accessories like bull bars and winches, or those seeking improved ground clearance for touring, beach driving and light off-road tracks. It's perfect for tradespeople carrying tools and equipment in the cab, Grey Nomads towing caravans, and families exploring Australia's remote tracks. If you're planning to carry heavy rear loads such as canopies, toolboxes or camper setups, consider adding airbag suspension to your rear end for on-demand load support without compromising unladen ride quality.
All Bilstein products are held in Australian stock for fast dispatch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional areas.

Yes, this Bilstein front lift kit is specifically engineered to fit all Mitsubishi Triton MQ (2015-2018) and MR (2019-current) models including GLX, GLS, GLX+, and GLS Premium variants. It suits both single cab, club cab and dual cab configurations with the 2.4L turbo diesel engine. The kit fits models with factory coil spring front suspension and is compatible with both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants. If you've modified your Triton with non-standard suspension components or have any fitment concerns, please contact our team before ordering.
This Bilstein front lift kit delivers approximately 35mm (1.4 inches) of lift height at the front axle when correctly installed and matched to your vehicle's constant accessory load. Actual lift height may vary by 5-10mm depending on the spring rate selected, the weight of your front accessories (bull bar, winch, etc.), and your vehicle's current condition. The 35mm lift is designed to level the Triton's stance when front accessories are fitted, improve ground clearance for off-road driving, and enhance approach angles without requiring modifications to brake lines or other components. This is a conservative, safe lift height that maintains excellent on-road handling and comfort.
This kit includes 2 x Bilstein B6 monotube front shock absorbers pre-assembled with 2 x King coil springs matched to your selected load rating. All mounting hardware, bushes and detailed installation instructions are included in the package. The shocks come pre-assembled with springs to simplify installation and ensure perfect compatibility between components. Please note this is a front-only kit — rear suspension components including rear shocks and springs are sold separately. Extended brake lines, alignment services, and any other vehicle-specific modifications required for your setup are not included and should be purchased or arranged separately.
Yes, this front lift kit significantly improves towing performance and stability when correctly matched to your vehicle's load requirements. The uprated King coil springs reduce front-end dive under braking, improve steering response when towing, and help maintain level vehicle stance when your caravan or trailer applies downward tongue weight. However, this kit only addresses the front suspension — for optimal towing performance you should also upgrade your rear suspension with heavy-duty shocks, uprated leaf springs, or airbag suspension to manage the increased rear axle load. Towing weight itself is not considered a constant load for spring rate selection purposes — select springs based on permanently fitted accessories only.
At 35mm of lift, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are recommended if you're planning to fit larger tyres (32 inches or above), regularly drive demanding off-road terrain, or want to maximize wheel travel and maintain optimal suspension geometry. Factory control arms will function adequately at this lift height for most touring and daily driving applications. However, adjustable or heavy-duty aftermarket control arms can restore camber and caster angles closer to factory specifications, reduce ball joint and bush wear, and improve steering precision after lifting. If you're experiencing tyre scrub, poor steering feel, or accelerated tyre wear after installation, consider adding upgraded control arms as your next suspension modification.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Bilstein front kit. Lifting the front suspension alters your Triton's camber, caster and toe angles, which can cause premature and uneven tyre wear, poor steering response, and reduced braking performance if not corrected. A qualified alignment technician will adjust these angles back within manufacturer specifications or optimize them for your new ride height and tyre size. We recommend having the alignment performed immediately after installation and then rechecked after the 500km break-in period once the springs have fully settled. Most reputable 4WD workshops include alignment in their lift kit installation quotes.
Yes, this kit allows you to select spring rates based on your vehicle's constant accessory load, which is critical for maintaining correct ride height and comfort. When placing your order, you'll be prompted to select a spring rate category — you must choose the rate that matches the combined weight of permanently fitted front accessories like bull bars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded bumpers, and driving lights. Do not select a heavier spring rate to account for occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or towing — over-springing your Triton will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may damage other suspension components. If you're unsure which spring rate suits your setup, contact our team with a list of your front accessories and we'll calculate the correct rating.
A 35mm front lift combined with a matched rear lift will generally allow fitment of tyres up to 31-32 inches in diameter on factory Triton wheels without significant rubbing or trimming. For optimal clearance you may need minor trimming of plastic inner guard liners at full lock, particularly if running wider offset wheels or heavily loaded suspension. If you're planning to fit 33-inch tyres or larger, you'll likely require additional modifications including guard trimming, aftermarket upper control arms for increased clearance, and potentially diff drop brackets or body lifts. Keep in mind that larger tyres affect gearing, speedometer accuracy, braking performance and fuel economy — we recommend staying within one size increment (approximately 2 inches) of your factory tyre diameter for daily driving applications.
All Bilstein shock absorbers included in this kit are covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The King coil springs are also covered by King Springs' warranty for the life of the product under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician, proof of purchase, and use of the product within its designed load and application parameters. Warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, collision damage, or modifications to the components. For full warranty terms and conditions, or to make a warranty claim, contact us with your purchase details and we'll facilitate the process with the manufacturer on your behalf.
Absolutely — this Bilstein B6 lift kit is engineered to maintain excellent on-road comfort and handling characteristics while providing the increased ground clearance and load capacity benefits of a lifted suspension. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise ride quality, Bilstein's monotube gas pressure technology delivers a comfortable, controlled ride on highways, sealed roads and urban environments while still performing exceptionally on corrugated dirt roads and light off-road tracks. The kit maintains factory-like steering precision, reduces body roll in corners, and eliminates the harsh, bouncy ride often associated with lifted 4WDs. This makes it ideal for Triton owners who use their vehicle 80% on-road for commuting and highway touring, with occasional weekend off-road adventures.
