Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality. When ordering, choose spring rates based on your constant load — the weight you carry every day, not occasional loads. Front constant loads include bullbar weight (typically 40-70kg), winch (30-40kg), upgraded battery systems (10-20kg), roof racks, UHF aerials and any permanently mounted accessories. Rear constant loads include canopy or tub liner weight, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long range fuel tanks, and permanently mounted water tanks. Occasional loads like camping gear, firewood, passengers, or towing a caravan should NOT be factored into spring rate selection — these are handled by the spring's design capacity. Selecting excessively heavy spring rates for occasional use results in harsh ride quality, accelerated wear on suspension components, and potential damage to shock absorbers and bushings.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this complete lift kit. Installation typically requires 6-8 hours and includes shock absorber replacement, spring installation, leaf spring assembly with new bushes and U-bolts, and thorough safety inspection. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure optimal handling — budget an additional $150-200 for four-wheel alignment with camber, caster and toe adjustment. A 500km break-in period is essential to allow springs to settle and bushes to seat correctly — recheck U-bolt torque at 500km and again at 1000km. For vehicles with significant front-end weight (150kg+ bullbar and winch combinations), consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore caster angle and improve steering geometry after the lift.
Bilstein has been engineering premium suspension solutions since 1873, with monotube shock absorber technology proven across motorsport, heavy industry and extreme off-road applications worldwide. Every Bilstein product is subjected to rigorous Australian outback testing across corrugations, bulldust, river crossings and desert heat to ensure reliability in our unique conditions. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by Australian tourers, tradespeople and professional off-road teams, the full Bilstein suspension range represents the gold standard in ride quality, durability and engineering excellence.
This kit is ideal for Triton owners who demand the best — serious outback tourers covering Cape York to the Simpson Desert, tradies carrying constant tool loads who need comfort on the daily commute, caravan towers requiring stable towing dynamics up to 3500kg, and weekend adventurers wanting confident capability on Victorian High Country tracks or Flinders Ranges touring. If you regularly carry heavy rear loads or tow close to maximum capacity, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support and level ride height adjustment. This kit transforms the Triton MQ-MR platform into a genuine long-range touring weapon without sacrificing the daily driveability that makes these utes so popular.
All components are Australian stock with fast dispatch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional centres.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Mitsubishi Triton MQ (2015-2018) and MR (2019-2024) models including GLX, GLX+, GLS, GLS Premium and Exceed variants with both 2.4L and 2.5L turbo diesel engines. The kit accommodates factory suspension configurations across all trim levels. If you have aftermarket modifications or a specialized variant like Blackline or Athlete editions, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This Bilstein kit provides approximately 35mm (1.4 inches) of lift height front and rear, measured under normal unladen weight. This conservative lift maintains factory-like geometry while providing clearance for 32-inch tyres and improved ground clearance for off-road touring. Being a quality engineered suspension system, it should not void your Triton's manufacturer warranty under Australian Consumer Law, though individual dealers may vary — we recommend discussing with your preferred Mitsubishi service centre before installation.
The kit includes everything needed for a complete front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad front shocks, 2 x King Springs front coil springs, 2 x Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shocks, 2 x heavy-duty rear leaf springs, 4 x HD U-bolts, 1 x polyurethane bush kit, and all mounting hardware. Upper control arms, extended brake lines, and diff drop kits are not required for this 35mm lift height but may be recommended if you're carrying very heavy front-end loads (150kg+ bullbar and winch).
Absolutely — this kit is specifically designed to improve towing stability and control when hauling caravans, camper trailers and work trailers up to the Triton's 3500kg towing capacity. The Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks provide superior damping control under towing loads, while the heavy-duty leaf springs increase rear load capacity and reduce rear-end squat. The kit dramatically improves steering precision, braking stability and sway control compared to worn factory suspension. For maximum towing performance, consider adding airbag suspension for on-demand load levelling.
For most Triton MQ-MR applications with standard front-end weight, upgraded control arms are not required with this 35mm lift kit — factory geometry remains within acceptable tolerances. However, if you're running a heavy steel bullbar with winch (combined weight over 150kg), aftermarket control arms may be beneficial to restore optimal caster angle and improve steering feel. Control arms also allow additional fine-tuning of wheel alignment for vehicles with significantly increased front weight. Our suspension experts can assess your specific setup and recommend whether control arms would benefit your build.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Bilstein system. The installation process affects camber, caster and toe settings which must be reset to manufacturer specifications (or adjusted for your new load configuration) to prevent rapid tyre wear, poor handling and steering pull. Budget $150-200 for a comprehensive four-wheel alignment including camber adjustment. Most quality suspension installers include alignment in their fitting service, but always confirm before booking the installation.
Select spring rates based solely on your constant load — the weight you carry every single day, not occasional camping gear or passengers. Measure your front constant load by adding up bullbar weight, winch, dual battery system, roof rack, and any permanently mounted accessories. For the rear, include canopy weight, drawer systems, fixed water tanks, and long-range fuel tanks. Do not factor in occasional loads like camping equipment, firewood, esky contents, or towing weight — the springs are designed with capacity for these variables. If you're unsure of your exact constant load, our team can help you calculate it based on your accessory list.
With this 35mm lift kit installed, most Triton MQ-MR models will accommodate up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (approximately 32 inches diameter) with standard offset wheels and no body modifications required. Some minor trimming of inner guard plastic may be necessary depending on wheel offset and backspacing. If you're planning to fit 33-inch tyres, additional body trimming and possibly a diff drop kit will be required. Wheel alignment, suspension compression under load, and steering lock position all affect tyre clearance, so test fitment thoroughly before committing to expensive tyre purchases.
Bilstein shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship — one of the most trusted warranties in the suspension industry. King Springs front coil springs carry King Springs' manufacturer warranty for structural failure and spring sag. The leaf springs, U-bolts and bushings are covered under standard warranty terms. All warranty claims are handled directly through 4WD Suspension Australia with support from the respective manufacturers. We recommend keeping your installation receipt and service records to support any future warranty requirements.
This kit excels at both daily driving and serious off-road touring — that's the beauty of Bilstein's engineering. The B6 Offroad shocks use velocity-sensitive digressive valving that provides comfortable, controlled ride quality on highways and urban roads while delivering fade-free performance on corrugations, sand, and rock tracks. Unlike budget lift kits that sacrifice on-road comfort for off-road capability, this Bilstein system maintains the Triton's refined ride characteristics while dramatically improving load-carrying ability, towing stability, and off-road control. It's the perfect choice for vehicles that serve as both daily commuters and weekend adventure rigs.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our MQ Triton before our last trip down the Victorian High Country and the difference is night and day. The ride quality on corrugated tracks is so much smoother now, and the kids actually commented on how much less they were getting bounced around in the back. Really impressed with how well it handles the extra weight when we've got the camper trailer hooked up and all our gear loaded.(5)

Installation was straightforward enough for a weekend job, and everything lined up perfectly. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the Triton
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to my MR about three months back and it's completely transformed how the ute handles with a full load of tools and materials. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially on corrugated dirt roads heading out to rural job sites. Couldn't be happier with how it's performed both on the highway and the occasional beach or bush track on the weekend.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein lift kit to our MR Triton before our latest trip down the Great Ocean Road and up through the Grampians. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with camping gear and the roof tent. Kids even commented on the smoother ride over corrugations, which says something. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular weekend trips with the family.(5)
