Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride height, comfort, and component longevity. When ordering, calculate your constant accessory load — the combined weight of permanently fitted equipment including bull bars, steel or aluminium trays, canopies, drawers, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, and winches. Front constant loads typically range from 0-100kg (stock) to 150-250kg (fully equipped), while rear loads vary from 0-150kg (minimal gear) to 200-400kg (heavy canopies and drawer systems). Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear, or towing — these temporary loads should be managed with airbag suspension systems to maintain ride quality. Over-sprung vehicles suffer harsh ride quality, accelerated wear on suspension components, and poor load absorption.
Professional installation by an experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. A complete four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and maintain steering stability — expect camber, caster, and toe adjustments to bring geometry back within manufacturer specifications. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle to final ride height (typically 10-15mm drop from initial fitting) and for polyurethane bushes to seat correctly. For lifts approaching or exceeding 75mm (3 inches), consider upgrading to adjustable control arms to restore optimal suspension geometry, improve CV axle angles, and maintain factory steering feel and tyre wear patterns.
Bilstein has been engineering premium monotube shock absorbers in Germany since 1873, with over 150 years of motorsport and OEM partnerships including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota. Every Bilstein shock absorber undergoes rigorous testing in Australian outback conditions, validated across corrugations, desert sand, rocky terrain, and coastal environments to ensure local relevance and durability. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by Australian tradespeople, grey nomads, and serious tourers who demand proven reliability over tens of thousands of kilometres — explore the complete Bilstein suspension range for matching steering dampers and complementary components.
This kit is engineered for Toyota Hilux N80 owners who demand premium German shock technology combined with Australian-engineered springs — ideal for tradespeople carrying constant tool loads, touring families with roof-top tents and rear drawers, and caravan towers requiring enhanced rear load capacity and stability. Weekend off-roaders benefit from improved ground clearance and suspension articulation, while daily drivers appreciate the refined Bilstein ride quality that outperforms budget alternatives. Heavy haulers and frequent towers should consider pairing this lift kit with airbag suspension for on-demand rear load support and level towing without compromising unloaded ride comfort.

WARNING: Lift kits at or exceeding 75mm (3 inches) may be classified as off-road use only in some Australian states and territories. Before fitting to registered road vehicles, refer to your local state transport authority regulations — an engineering certificate and modification plate may be legally required for registration compliance. Handling characteristics will diminish on lifts above 50mm (2 inches) due to raised centre of gravity. Vehicles fitted with 3-inch lifts typically require additional modifications including adjustable panhard rods, modified leading/trailing arms, extended brake hoses, upgraded bump stops, gear box and drive line modifications, steering arm adjustments, and sway bar modifications. 4WD Suspension Australia does not accept responsibility for injury caused to persons or property through the use of this product — professional installation and engineering assessment is strongly recommended.
Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Hilux N80 (8th generation) models from 2015 onwards, including SR, SR5, Workmate, and Rogue variants with both petrol (GUN125R/126R) and diesel (GUN135R/136R) engines. The kit fits dual-cab and extra-cab configurations with the coil-spring front and leaf-spring rear suspension setup that is standard on N80 Hilux models. If you've made significant modifications to your vehicle or are unsure about compatibility with aftermarket accessories, our suspension experts can confirm fitment for your specific build.
This Bilstein kit delivers between 2 to 3 inches (50-75mm) of lift height, with the final result depending on your selected spring rates and constant accessory load. A lightly equipped Hilux with minimal accessories will achieve closer to 3 inches, while heavily loaded vehicles with bull bars, winches, canopies, and drawer systems will settle closer to 2 inches after the 500km break-in period. The customisable spring rates ensure you achieve optimal ride height for your specific setup rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Ground clearance improvement varies but typically adds 50-70mm under differentials and chassis rails.
This is a comprehensive front and rear lift kit including 2 x Bilstein front monotube gas shock absorbers, 2 x King Springs front coil springs with your selected load rating, 2 x Bilstein rear monotube gas shock absorbers, 2 x heavy-duty rear leaf springs with your selected load rating, 4 x heavy-duty U-bolts with nuts and washers, and 1 x premium polyurethane bush kit. All necessary hardware and detailed fitting instructions are provided. The kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, or diff drop kits — these may be required depending on your final lift height and should be discussed with your installer.
Absolutely — this kit significantly improves towing performance through heavy-duty leaf springs that reduce rear squat and Bilstein's velocity-sensitive damping that maintains stability under trailer sway conditions. When selecting spring rates, base your choice on constant fitted accessories only (canopies, drawers, bull bars) — not towing loads. For frequent heavy towing or variable loads, we strongly recommend adding airbag suspension to the rear, which allows you to increase spring rate on-demand when towing while maintaining comfortable ride quality when unloaded. Properly specified, this setup will maintain level ride height when towing up to 3,500kg braked trailers.
For lifts in the 2-inch (50mm) range, factory control arms typically remain adequate, though you may experience slight changes to castor angle that affect steering feel. As you approach or exceed 75mm (3 inches) of lift, adjustable upper control arms become highly recommended to restore optimal suspension geometry, improve CV axle angles, correct castor and camber alignment, and prevent accelerated ball joint and tyre wear. Adjustable control arms also provide fine-tuning capability to dial in precise handling characteristics. Your suspension installer can assess whether control arm upgrades are necessary based on your specific lift height, wheel size, and usage requirements.
Yes, a complete four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit to ensure safe handling, even tyre wear, and optimal steering response. Lifting your Hilux alters suspension geometry including camber, castor, and toe angles that must be corrected to manufacturer specifications (or better with adjustable components). Skipping alignment will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, wandering steering, and potentially unsafe handling characteristics. Have alignment performed by a shop experienced with lifted 4WDs, and request a printout showing before and after measurements to confirm all angles are within acceptable ranges.
Yes, and selecting the correct spring rates for your specific constant load is critical to achieving optimal performance and ride quality from this kit. During checkout, you'll be prompted to select front and rear spring rates based on the combined weight of permanently fitted accessories — calculate front loads from bull bars, winches, and driving lights, while rear loads include canopies, drawer systems, dual batteries, and long-range tanks. Be honest about your actual constant load and avoid the temptation to over-spring 'just in case' — selecting unnecessarily heavy spring rates will result in harsh ride quality, poor bump absorption, and accelerated wear on suspension bushes and shock absorbers.
With a properly installed 2-3 inch lift on your Hilux N80, you can typically fit up to 285/70R17 or 265/75R16 tyres (approximately 33 inches diameter) without rubbing under normal driving conditions, assuming standard width wheels with appropriate offset. Tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, tyre brand (some run larger than stated size), and whether you've fitted aftermarket guards or flares. Slight trimming of plastic inner guards may be required at full steering lock and suspension compression with 33-inch tyres. For the best fitment advice specific to your wheel and tyre combination, consult with your installer before purchasing tyres, as some brands and tread patterns are wider than others at the same nominal size.
This complete kit is backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering shock absorbers against defects in materials and workmanship, plus King Springs' warranty on coil and leaf springs. Warranty terms require professional installation with proof of purchase, correct spring rate selection for your vehicle's actual load, and adherence to recommended service intervals and load limits. Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, vehicle misuse, overloading beyond specified limits, or failure to perform mandatory wheel alignment. Keep your invoice and installation records, and register your purchase with Bilstein to ensure full warranty protection throughout the coverage period.
Yes, Bilstein's monotube gas technology is specifically engineered to deliver excellent daily drivability alongside off-road capability — this is not a compromise suspension setup. The velocity-sensitive valving provides soft, compliant damping over small bumps and road imperfections at highway speeds while automatically firming up during aggressive cornering, emergency braking, or heavy load situations. Many Hilux owners run this exact setup as their daily driver while commuting, towing, and weekend touring without complaint. Ride quality will be firmer than factory soft springs if you select heavy-duty spring rates without the corresponding accessory weight, so accurate spring rate selection based on your actual constant load is essential for maintaining daily driving comfort.
