This Bilstein lift kit is purpose-built for the Volkswagen Amarok V6 Diesel and delivers a 1" lift using Bilstein B6 monotube gas shock absorbers, King Springs front coils and heavy-duty rear leaf springs. The B6 shocks use a monotube design for consistent damping under load, while the upgraded leaf pack adds carrying capacity for touring gear and towing. This is a complete front and rear kit — no mixing brands or guessing spring rates. In stock in Australia now, backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our lift kit specialists.

Choosing the right rear leaf spring rate depends on what you carry day to day, not just what you carry occasionally. A tray back with a permanent tool box, water tank or canopy needs a higher constant load rating than a dual cab used mainly for weekend touring. Common accessories that shift your spring rate choice include bull bars, winches, canopies, long-range fuel tanks, dual batteries and drawer systems — tell our team your setup and we'll confirm the right rear spring for your Amarok.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension workshop or a competent DIY installer with the right tools, given the leaf spring and U-bolt work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km break-in period for the King Springs coils and leaf packs to settle before final alignment checks. If you're running heavier front-end accessories, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct geometry at the raised height.
Bilstein has decades of monotube shock manufacturing behind it, with the B6 range built for vehicles running accessories and towing loads without the ride quality trade-offs of cheaper twin-tube units. Every kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty, and our team stocks and fits these units across Australian touring and work vehicles. Explore the rest of the range on our Bilstein suspension range page.
This kit suits Amarok owners who tow regularly, carry canopy and tray gear for trade work, or head off-road with camping equipment loaded up. If you're running a constant heavy rear load such as a slide-on camper or generator, it's worth also looking at airbag suspension to fine-tune rear support on the fly.

This kit is designed for the Volkswagen Amarok 2H V6 Diesel built from 2010 onwards. It includes matched front and rear components specific to the V6 diesel's weight distribution, which differs from the four-cylinder TDI models. If you're unsure of your exact build date or model code, contact our team with your VIN or compliance plate details and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
This kit provides a 1" lift at the front and rear when fitted as a complete set. The lift comes from the King Springs front coils and the heavy-duty rear leaf springs working together with the Bilstein B6 shocks matched to the new ride height. This is enough to clear a moderate tyre size increase and improve approach and departure angles without pushing the vehicle's geometry outside safe limits.
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 two Bilstein B6 monotube front shocks, two Bilstein B6 monotube rear shocks, two King Springs front coil springs and a pair of heavy-duty rear leaf spring assemblies with mounting hardware. U-bolts and fitting hardware for the rear leaf springs are included. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are available separately if your setup needs corrected geometry at the raised height.
Yes, the heavy-duty rear leaf springs are specifically included to lift load-carrying capacity for towing and constant rear loads. Combined with the Bilstein B6 monotube shocks, the kit resists shock fade when running a loaded trailer or caravan over long distances. If you tow frequently with a heavier constant load, mention this to our team so we can confirm the correct rear spring rate for your setup.
Control arms are not included in this kit but are worth considering once you're running a 1" lift, particularly for correcting front-end geometry and CV joint angles. Whether you need them depends on your accessory load and how the vehicle sits after alignment. Our control arm range is a straightforward add-on if your alignment technician flags a geometry issue after fitment.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. The new ride height changes camber and toe settings, and an alignment restores correct handling and even tyre wear. We recommend allowing a 500km break-in period for the springs to settle before the final alignment is done.
The rear leaf springs in this kit are heavy-duty rated for touring and towing loads, but if your Amarok carries a different constant load — such as a permanent canopy or tray fit-out — a different rate may suit better. Contact our team with details of your accessories and we can advise on the right leaf spring option for your specific build.
A 1" lift typically allows a modest tyre size increase over standard, improving clearance for common all-terrain tyre upgrades. Actual clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether you've fitted flares or trimmed guards. Check with our team on your specific tyre size before purchasing to avoid rubbing issues.
This kit is covered by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty on the B6 shock absorbers, alongside standard warranty cover on the King Springs coils and rear leaf springs. Warranty terms are handled directly through our team as the seller, so keep your proof of purchase and installation date on file. Contact us if you have any warranty questions specific to your Amarok fitment.
Yes, this kit is designed to retain comfortable on-road manners while adding off-road clearance and load capacity. The Bilstein B6 monotube shocks are tuned to balance daily commuting comfort with the demands of towing and rougher touring roads. Many Amarok owners run this kit as their only suspension setup for both work and weekend use.
