The Bilstein Lift Kit for Toyota Hilux N80 (2015-ON) pairs German-engineered monotube gas-pressure shock absorbers with Australian-made King Springs to deliver a 2" front and 3" rear lift. The monotube design keeps oil and gas separated in a single tube, giving consistent damping on corrugations and reducing oil foaming on long touring runs. King Springs' raised coil and leaf springs support heavier accessory fitment such as bull bars, canopies and dual batteries. Explore the full range of shock absorbers we stock for other 4WDs. Dispatched from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your King Springs rate based on what stays fitted to the vehicle day to day, not just what you carry occasionally. A ute running a steel tray, bull bar, winch and long-range fuel tank needs a firmer rear rate than one running factory-weight accessories. Common items that shift spring selection include bull bars, winches, canopies, dual batteries, drawer systems and caravan or camper trailer tow-ball loads.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a competent DIY mechanic with the correct spring compressors and torque specifications for the N80 front strut and rear leaf assembly. Wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is installed, since ride height and castor angles change with the added lift. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the springs and shocks to settle before a final alignment check. If you're running the kit at the 2" mark or beyond, consider pairing it with upgraded control arms to correct front camber and castor angles at the new ride height.
Bilstein has built monotube gas-pressure shock absorbers since the 1950s and its 4WD range is fitted to Hilux, Ranger, Prado and LandCruiser platforms across Australia. This kit is backed by manufacturer warranty and stocked locally, so replacement parts and technical support aren't tied to overseas lead times. Trades and tourers running daily loaded utes commonly specify Bilstein for this reason — see the full Bilstein suspension range for other applications.
This kit suits Hilux N80 owners who tow regularly, run a canopy or tray for trade work, or head off the bitumen with camper trailers and roof-top tents. If your accessory load is more variable — swapping between empty runs and fully loaded touring trips — an airbag suspension option can be added to manage load-sensitive rear height alongside these springs.
This Bilstein Lift Kit for the Toyota Hilux N80 is held in Australian stock for fast dispatch, with our team available to confirm fitment against your build date and accessory setup before you order. Browse our full lift kit range to compare options for other Hilux and 4WD applications.

Yes, this Bilstein Lift Kit is built specifically for 4x4 Toyota Hilux N80 models produced from 2015 onwards, including SR, SR5, Rugged X and Rogue variants fitted with the 2.4L 2GD-FTV or 2.8L 1GD-FTV engine. It is not designed for 2WD Hilux models or the earlier N70 series. If you're unsure of your build date or drivetrain, check your compliance plate or use our Hilux N80 parts finder before ordering.
This kit delivers a 2" front lift using King Springs raised coil springs and a 3" rear lift using King Springs raised leaf springs, paired with Bilstein monotube shocks matched to that ride height. The front and rear figures differ because the N80 Hilux uses coil springs at the front and a leaf pack at the rear. Actual ride height can vary slightly depending on vehicle load and accessory weight fitted.
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 Bilstein monotube front shock absorbers, 2 Bilstein monotube rear shock absorbers, 2 King Springs raised front coil springs, 2 King Springs raised rear leaf springs, extended rear U-bolts and front bump stop spacers. Mounting bushes and fitting hardware are included for a complete front and rear install. Upper control arms are not included and are sold separately if you need corrected front geometry at height.
Yes, the King Springs rear leaf springs in this kit are available in different load rate options to suit constant towing and accessory weight. Choosing a rate that matches your actual tow-ball load and canopy or tray weight keeps rear ride height consistent when hitched up. Our team can help you select the correct rear spring rate based on your typical loaded weight before you order.
At a 2" front lift, many N80 Hilux owners run factory control arms without issue, but upper control arms are recommended if you want to correct camber and castor fully at the raised height or plan to run larger tyres. Upgraded control arms also increase available front travel on some builds. They are sold separately from this kit and can be added at time of fitment.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after this kit is installed. The 2" front and 3" rear lift changes castor, camber and ride height, all of which affect tyre wear and steering feel if left unaligned. We recommend an initial alignment straight after fitment and a follow-up check after the 500km bedding-in period.
Yes, King Springs offers different load rate options for the front coil and rear leaf springs in this kit, so you can match spring rate to your constant accessory load. This is particularly relevant if you run a steel tray, bull bar, winch, long-range tank or drawer system full time. Speak to our team about your typical loaded weight and we'll confirm the right rate before dispatch.
The 2" front and 3" rear lift on this kit generally allows for a larger tyre diameter than factory on most N80 Hilux tray and canopy configurations, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset and width. Guards, bump stops and steering lock should be checked with your specific tyre size fitted. Our team can advise on maximum practical tyre sizing for this lift height on your build.
This kit is backed by manufacturer warranty covering both the Bilstein shock absorbers and King Springs components against manufacturing defects. As an Australian-stocked product, warranty claims are handled locally through our team rather than through an overseas supplier. Contact us with your order details if you have a warranty query on a fitted kit.
Yes, this kit is designed to give a comfortable unladen ride for daily use while firming up once the tray, canopy or tow load is applied. The Bilstein monotube shocks are tuned to suit both unladen commuting and loaded touring or trade use on the same vehicle. Many N80 owners run this kit as their only suspension setup rather than switching between on-road and off-road configurations.
