Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality and suspension performance. When ordering, choose spring rates based on your constant accessory load — the combined weight of accessories permanently fitted to your vehicle. Do not include occasional loads such as passengers, camping gear, or items removed between trips, as selecting overly stiff springs will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components.
Common front accessories: Steel bull bar, winch, driving lights, upgraded intercooler, long-range fuel tank, heavy-duty batteries, upgraded air conditioning systems.
Common rear accessories: Rear bar, dual spare wheel carriers, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems, water tanks, dual battery systems, roof racks, awnings.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this lift kit. The installation involves torsion bar adjustment, shock absorber replacement, coil spring fitment, and lower control arm brace installation. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct caster, camber, and toe settings, preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining safe handling characteristics. A 500km break-in period is recommended during which springs will settle and components will bed in — minor ride height adjustment may be required after this period. For optimal geometry correction on lifted IFS vehicles, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore factory steering angles and suspension travel.
Bilstein has been engineering world-class shock absorbers in Germany since 1873, with their monotube gas pressure technology revolutionizing automotive suspension performance. Every Bilstein shock is rigorously tested across Australian outback conditions, from the dust and heat of central Australia to the challenging terrain of Cape York and the High Country. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by serious tourers, tradespeople, and off-road enthusiasts across Australia, Bilstein delivers unmatched durability and ride quality. Explore the full Bilstein suspension range for premium shock absorbers and complete suspension solutions.
This lift kit is ideal for touring enthusiasts planning extended trips across Australia, tradespeople carrying tools and equipment daily, family adventurers with roof-top tents and camping gear, and caravan or camper trailer towers requiring extra ground clearance and load capacity. If you regularly carry heavy rear loads or tow near maximum capacity, consider supplementing this kit with airbag suspension for on-demand load support and easy adjustment between loaded and unloaded conditions. Whether tackling the Gibb River Road, towing the family van to the coast, or navigating daily city traffic, this Bilstein kit delivers the performance and reliability you need.

This kit is specifically engineered for Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series models (1998-2007) fitted with Independent Front Suspension (IFS). It will not fit earlier 80 Series models or later 200 Series vehicles, as these have different suspension architectures. The kit is compatible with all 100 Series variants including GXL, Sahara, and VX models with IFS. If you're unsure about your specific vehicle's suspension type or have modified components, contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
The front torsion bars are adjustable and provide between 0-50mm of lift depending on your vehicle's load and desired ride height. The rear King coil springs are load-rated and will provide 30-50mm of lift depending on the spring rate selected and your constant accessory weight. Total lift achieved varies based on your specific accessories, weight distribution, and final torsion bar adjustment. This adjustability allows you to fine-tune ride height to accommodate different tyre sizes, bull bar weight, and touring gear.
This kit includes 2x Bilstein B6 Offroad front shock absorbers, 2x heavy-duty adjustable front torsion bars, 1x lower control arm brace kit, 2x Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shock absorbers, 2x King rear coil springs, and all necessary mounting hardware. The kit does not include upper control arms (recommended for lifts over 40mm), extended brake lines, or wheel alignment services. All components are designed to work together as a complete suspension system for optimal performance and reliability.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing applications when the correct spring rates are selected. The Bilstein B6 Offroad rear shocks and King coil springs work together to reduce rear squat, maintain level ride height, and improve stability when towing caravans, camper trailers, or boat trailers. When selecting spring rates during ordering, include the tongue weight of your trailer as part of your constant rear load. For heavy or variable towing loads, consider adding airbag suspension which allows on-demand adjustment without changing spring rates.
While the lower control arm brace is included to strengthen the existing front control arms, upgrading to adjustable upper control arms is highly recommended for lifts exceeding 40mm. Aftermarket upper control arms restore correct ball joint angles, improve caster for better highway stability, and increase suspension travel for improved off-road articulation. Without upper control arm correction on higher lifts, you may experience accelerated ball joint wear, reduced steering precision, and compromised handling characteristics. Our team can recommend suitable control arm options for your specific setup.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this or any lift kit on your Landcruiser 100 Series. The installation process involves changing torsion bar preload, replacing shocks, and fitting new coil springs — all of which affect suspension geometry, caster, camber, and toe settings. Without proper alignment, you'll experience rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, wandering steering, and potentially unsafe driving characteristics. Always have alignment performed by a workshop familiar with lifted 4WD vehicles and IFS suspension systems.
Spring rate selection should be based solely on your constant accessory load — the permanent weight of items like bull bars, winches, rear bars, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range tanks, and roof racks. Do not include occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or firewood that are removed between trips. Weigh your vehicle fully accessorised but empty of trip gear, then compare this to your original GVM to calculate added weight. Our team can help calculate appropriate spring rates based on your specific accessory list during the ordering process.
With 40-50mm of lift, most 100 Series IFS Landcruisers can accommodate 285/75R16 or 33-inch tyres with minimal to no trimming required. Tyre fitment depends on several factors including wheel offset, tyre brand (some run larger than their stated size), and suspension compression under load. For 35-inch tyres, additional modifications such as guard trimming and potentially diff drops may be required. Always test fit tyres at full lock and full compression before committing to a size, and consider that larger, heavier tyres affect gearing, braking performance, and fuel economy.
Bilstein shock absorbers are covered by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. King coil springs carry their own manufacturer warranty for structural integrity and spring rate specifications. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, appropriate use within component specifications, and regular maintenance. The lower control arm brace and torsion bars are also warranted against manufacturing defects. Retain all proof of purchase and installation documentation, and register your purchase with 4WD Suspension Australia for full warranty support and faster claims processing if required.
Absolutely — Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks are specifically engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort while maintaining off-road capability. The velocity-sensitive monotube design provides soft damping over small bumps during city driving and highway cruising, while automatically firming up during aggressive cornering, braking, or off-road impacts. When correctly spring-rated for your vehicle's weight, this kit maintains the Landcruiser's renowned comfortable ride quality for daily commuting, school runs, and long-distance touring, while significantly improving capability when you venture off-road on weekends and holidays.
Best upgrade I've done to the 100
Had the Bilstein lift kit fitted to my Landcruiser about 6 months ago and it's been cop on with the daily commute and weekend beach trips. Ride quality is noticeably better than the old worn out stock setup, and it handles the loaded tradie rack without sagging. Worth every cent if you're doing proper K's in your 100 series.(5)
Proper Kit for Serious Outback Work
Been running this Bilstein lift kit on my 100 Series for about 8 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's corrugations. The damping control is miles ahead of what I had previously – keeps the rig composed even when loaded up with long-range tanks and recovery gear. Worth every cent if you're doing genuine remote touring rather than mall crawling.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to our 100 Series before our last trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality on corrugated tracks is so much better than the old suspension, and the kids actually stopped complaining about being bounced around in the back. Really happy with how it handles the extra weight when we're loaded up with camping gear and water tanks.(5)
Best upgrade for my work horse
Had these Bilstein shocks and springs fitted to my 100 series about 6 months ago and they've been absolutely solid. Daily drive to sites is way more comfortable than the old tired setup, and she handles the load of tools and materials without sagging. Took it up to the high country for a weekend trip and the ride quality on corrugations was night and day difference.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Been running this Bilstein lift kit on our 100 Series for six months now and it's completely transformed how the Cruiser handles when loaded up with the family and camping gear. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated tracks compared to the old worn shocks, and the kids actually sleep in the back now on longer trips. Really happy with how well it's performing both on the highway and off-road through the High Country.(5)
