Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride height, comfort, and component longevity. Base your spring rate selection only on constant accessory load — the weight permanently installed on your vehicle. Common front accessories include bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-50kg), driving lights, and upgraded bumpers. Rear constant loads include canopies (70-120kg), steel trays (80-150kg), tool boxes, drawer systems, dual battery setups, and long-range fuel tanks. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing — this will result in an excessively firm ride and potential damage to other suspension components. If you frequently carry heavy loads, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety compliance. This is a comprehensive lift kit requiring specialized tools, spring compressors, and experience with independent front suspension systems. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tyre wear and ensure proper steering geometry. All components should undergo a 500km break-in period with retorque of all fasteners — bushings will settle and spring rates will stabilize during this initial period. Depending on your final ride height and intended use, you may benefit from pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and improve handling characteristics.
Bilstein has been engineering world-leading monotube shock absorber technology since 1954, with a proven track record in motorsport, heavy-duty commercial applications, and extreme off-road touring. The Bilstein suspension range is extensively tested across Australian conditions from the Simpson Desert to Cape York, delivering unmatched durability, consistent damping performance, and fade-free control in extreme heat. Every Bilstein component is backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by Australian suspension specialists who understand the unique demands of outback touring, heavy payload work vehicles, and daily driving comfort.
This kit is ideal for Amarok owners who demand premium ride quality combined with genuine off-road capability and load-carrying performance — including tradespeople running constant tool and equipment loads, grey nomads touring with rooftop tents and camping gear, and recreational four-wheel drivers seeking improved clearance for larger tyres and remote area exploration. If you regularly tow heavy caravans or trailers, this kit provides the foundation for stable towing performance, though many customers pair it with supplementary airbag suspension for maximum load adjustment and leveling capability under varying conditions.

This kit is engineered specifically for Volkswagen Amarok 2H series (2010-2022) equipped with the 2.0L TDI 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine in both single cab and dual cab configurations. It fits all Amarok variants with the original independent front coil suspension and rear leaf spring setup. If you have a V6 Amarok or are unsure of your specific variant, we recommend confirming fitment with our team before ordering as different suspension configurations require different kit specifications. You can verify your vehicle's exact specifications through our parts finder tool or by contacting our suspension experts directly.
This complete kit delivers approximately 30mm (1.2 inches) of lift height measured at standard kerb weight with appropriate spring rate selection. Final lift height can vary by 5-10mm depending on your constant accessory load, selected spring rates, and vehicle condition. The 30mm lift provides sufficient clearance for larger all-terrain tyres (up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 depending on wheel offset) while maintaining safe suspension geometry and avoiding the need for extensive modifications. This conservative lift height ensures excellent on-road handling characteristics while improving off-road ground clearance and approach/departure angles for recreational four-wheel driving and touring applications.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for front and rear suspension upgrade: 2 Bilstein B6 monotube front shock absorbers, 2 King Springs heavy-duty front coil springs, 2 Bilstein B6 monotube rear shock absorbers, 2 progressive-rate rear leaf spring packs, 4 heavy-duty U-bolts with hardware, and a complete polyurethane leaf spring bush kit. All fitting hardware and detailed installation instructions are provided. Upper control arms, extended brake lines, and differential drop kits are not included but may be recommended depending on your specific vehicle setup and intended use — our team can advise on any additional components required for your application.
Yes, this kit is well-suited for towing applications thanks to the heavy-duty rear leaf springs and load-rated coil spring options that provide enhanced payload capacity and reduced body squat under towing loads. The Bilstein B6 monotube shocks deliver superior damping control and fade resistance essential for maintaining stability when towing heavy caravans or trailers. However, spring rates should be selected based only on constant accessory loads (canopy, tool boxes, etc.) — not occasional towing weight. For customers who tow frequently or carry highly variable loads, we often recommend pairing this lift kit with supplementary airbag suspension for adjustable load support and the ability to level your vehicle regardless of tongue weight.
At 30mm of lift height, upgraded control arms are not strictly mandatory but may be beneficial depending on your driving priorities and intended use. The moderate lift height maintains acceptable castor and camber angles within factory tolerances for most applications. However, aftermarket adjustable control arms can optimize steering geometry, improve on-road handling precision, and enhance wheel alignment adjustability especially if you plan to fit larger tyres or undertake serious off-road touring. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific requirements and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular setup based on your driving style, load configuration, and performance expectations.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit to ensure safe steering geometry, prevent premature and uneven tyre wear, and maintain proper handling characteristics. The installation process involves disturbing critical suspension mounting points and angles that directly affect wheel alignment specifications. Your alignment technician should set camber, castor, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications (or optimized settings if using adjustable components). We strongly recommend having the alignment performed by a workshop experienced with 4WD suspension modifications who can properly assess post-lift geometry and make appropriate adjustments for your specific vehicle configuration and intended use.
Spring rate selection must be based exclusively on your constant accessory load — the permanent weight of accessories fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads like camping gear or towing. Measure your front constant load including bull bar weight (typically 30-60kg), winch (30-50kg), driving lights, and upgraded bumper components. Rear constant loads include canopy or tray weight (70-150kg), drawer systems, tool boxes, dual batteries, and long-range fuel tanks. Do not factor in passengers, camping equipment, or trailer tongue weight when selecting spring rates. Choosing excessively heavy spring rates for occasional loads will result in harsh ride quality, reduced suspension travel, and potential damage to other components. Contact our team if you need assistance calculating your specific constant load.
The 30mm lift height typically allows fitment of 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 all-terrain tyres (approximately 31-32 inches diameter) depending on your wheel offset and specific tyre tread pattern without requiring additional modifications like guard trimming or body lift. More aggressive tread patterns may require minor guard lip rolling for full articulation clearance. Wheel offset also plays a critical role — wheels with excessive negative offset can cause tyre contact with suspension components or guards during full steering lock and compression. We recommend confirming your specific wheel and tyre combination with our fitment experts before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your suspension setup and to avoid clearance issues during off-road articulation and steering.
All Bilstein shock absorbers in this kit are covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for your investment in premium German-engineered suspension components. King Springs front coil springs carry their own manufacturer warranty for structural integrity and spring rate performance. Leaf springs, U-bolts, and hardware components also carry standard manufacturer defect warranties. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proper vehicle application, and normal use conditions — damage from overloading, incorrect installation, or accident/impact is not covered. Our team can provide specific warranty terms and conditions for each component and assist with any warranty claims should issues arise during the coverage period.
Absolutely — Bilstein B6 shocks are specifically engineered to provide an optimal balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort, making this kit excellent for daily driving, highway touring, and urban use. The monotube gas pressure design delivers consistent, fade-free damping that maintains control without harshness, while the progressive-rate King Springs coils and multi-stage leaf springs absorb bumps smoothly across varying load conditions. Ride quality will be noticeably firmer than factory suspension (especially with appropriate load-rated springs), but well-balanced and controlled without the harshness associated with budget lift kits. Correct spring rate selection based on your actual constant load is critical — oversized springs chosen for occasional loads will create unnecessary stiffness and compromise daily driving comfort.
