Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and avoiding premature component wear. King Springs are available in multiple load ratings to match your constant accessory load — this means the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle, not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Common constant loads on the Prado 150 include front bull bars with winch (60-100kg), steel or alloy aftermarket wheels (20-40kg), roof racks and roof-top tents (40-80kg), dual battery systems (20-30kg), long-range fuel tanks (30kg empty), rear bars and tow hitches (40-60kg), and upgraded diff covers or underbody protection (15-30kg). When ordering, select only your actual constant load — choosing springs that are too heavy will result in harsh ride quality, reduced suspension travel and potential damage to suspension components. Occasional towing of caravans or loading camping equipment is not considered constant load and should not influence your spring rate selection.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and initial setup. The preassembled front struts significantly reduce installation time, but the complete kit installation typically requires 6-8 hours including diff drop fitting and control arm alignment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to set correct caster, camber and toe specifications — failure to align will result in premature tyre wear and compromised handling. A 500km break-in period is recommended to allow springs to settle and bushings to seat correctly before final alignment checks. For maximum performance and geometry correction, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms and caster correction components if not already included in your chosen configuration.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for all Toyota Prado 150 Series models from 2009 to current (2024), covering both the original 150 and facelifted models. It fits all engine variants including the 2.8L turbo diesel and 4.0L petrol V6 engines. The kit is compatible with both GX, GXL, VX and Kakadu trim levels, and suits both manual and automatic transmission variants. If you have aftermarket modifications or are unsure about specific fitment to your model year, our suspension experts can confirm compatibility before purchase.
This kit provides approximately 50mm (2 inches) of lift height measured from factory standard suspension height. With this lift, most Prado 150 owners can comfortably fit 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres without rubbing, depending on wheel offset and specific guard configurations. Some owners have successfully fitted up to 275/65R18 tyres with minor trimming of plastic inner guards. The actual lift height may vary slightly (±10mm) depending on your constant accessory load, which is why correct spring rate selection is critical during ordering. Larger tyres may require additional modifications such as guard trimming or aftermarket flares.
This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for a complete 2 inch suspension upgrade: two preassembled Bilstein B6 Offroad front struts with King Springs coils already fitted, two Bilstein B6 Offroad long-travel rear shock absorbers, two King Springs rear coil springs in your selected load rating, two Blackhawk upper control arms for geometry correction, two extended rear sway bar link pins, and a complete diff drop kit with all mounting hardware. The preassembled front struts save significant installation time and eliminate the need for dangerous spring compressors. Comprehensive fitting instructions are included to guide professional installation.
Absolutely — this kit is engineered specifically for Australian touring conditions including caravan towing and heavy payload carrying. The Bilstein B6 Offroad shocks provide superior damping control under load, while King Springs progressive rate coils maintain ride height and comfort when towing. The kit handles constant accessory loads up to 300kg including bull bars, winches and roof racks while still providing excellent unladen ride quality. For maximum towing performance and load-levelling capability, many Prado owners pair this kit with supplementary airbag suspension in the rear, allowing on-demand adjustment for varying tow ball weights and cargo loads without compromising daily driving comfort.
Yes, and this kit already includes two Blackhawk upper control arms as part of the complete package. Control arm upgrades are essential when lifting a Prado 150 by 50mm because they restore correct suspension geometry, reduce CV axle angles, and provide adjustable caster settings for optimal wheel alignment. Without upgraded control arms, lifted Prados experience accelerated tyre wear, compromised handling, and increased stress on CV joints. The included Blackhawk control arms feature heavy-duty construction with quality bushings and allow your suspension specialist to dial in perfect alignment settings during installation for maximum tyre life and handling precision.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Prado 150 Series. Lifting the vehicle changes suspension geometry including caster, camber and toe angles which directly affect handling, steering response and tyre wear patterns. The included Blackhawk control arms provide caster adjustment to restore factory specifications at the new ride height. Your alignment specialist should set alignment within Toyota specifications after installation and then recheck after the initial 500km break-in period once springs have settled. Skipping alignment will result in rapid uneven tyre wear, wandering steering and compromised braking performance — never drive extensively on a lifted vehicle without proper alignment.
Spring rate selection must be based solely on your constant accessory load — the permanent weight fitted to your vehicle, not occasional camping gear or passengers. Calculate your front constant load by adding bull bar weight (typically 60-100kg), winch (30-40kg), upgraded wheels (20-40kg over stock), and any permanent roof rack systems. Rear constant load includes rear bar, tow hitch, dual batteries, long-range tank (empty weight), and permanent drawer systems. Common mistake is selecting springs too heavy by including occasional loads like full water tanks, passengers or camping equipment. When ordering, select only your actual constant load from the dropdown menu — choosing springs that are too stiff results in harsh ride quality and potential damage to suspension bushings and mounts.
With the 50mm lift provided by this kit, most Toyota Prado 150 owners can fit 265/70R17 tyres (approximately 31.6 inches diameter) or 265/65R18 tyres without any rubbing or modification on factory offset wheels. These sizes provide noticeable improvement in ground clearance and off-road capability while maintaining reasonable fuel economy and speedometer accuracy. Some owners have successfully fitted 275/65R18 tyres with minor plastic inner guard trimming and ensuring correct wheel offset (typically 20-25mm positive offset). Actual fitment depends on wheel offset, backspacing, suspension compression under load, and driving style. Always test full steering lock and compression travel before committing to aggressive tyre sizes to avoid unexpected contact with guards during off-road articulation.
Bilstein B6 Offroad shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with warranty terms varying by component (typically 2-3 years for shocks). King Springs coil springs carry the manufacturer's warranty against breakage and sagging under normal use conditions. Blackhawk control arms include warranty coverage for manufacturing defects and structural failures. All components must be fitted by qualified professionals following manufacturer specifications to maintain warranty validity. Retain your proof of purchase and installation receipts as warranty claims require verification of professional fitment and correct application. Our team can assist with warranty claims and provide ongoing support throughout your ownership for complete peace of mind on remote touring adventures.
