Bilstein 6112 B60 big-bore front coilovers for the Hilux N70 and N80. Pick your lift height above (2in or 3in), then run the calculator below so we can match your spring rate — it attaches to your order automatically, so most builds need no back and forth.

Spring Rate Calculator

Dial in your front end.

A stock front axle sits at 1180kg and runs a 600lb coil. Every kilo you bolt on shifts that number — but only the fraction that actually lands on the front axle. Tell us what's fitted and we'll work out the rest, then attach it to your order.

Please fill in your setup below before ordering — it helps us make sure we build the right spec for your vehicle. Skipping it is fine, but the details help us get it right the first time.

80/20

Build this for how you actually drive — the daily commute, the school run, the odd weekend track — not the one loaded trip you do three times a year. Nobody enjoys a daily-driven brick just so it's ready for a trip it takes twice a summer. If your heavy trips are rare, tell us straight and we'll spec for the other 80%.

Lift Height

Set above — this reflects whatever you've picked.

On the 6112, 2in lands on the 7th circlip — each clip is 5mm of adjuster travel, worth roughly 10mm of ride height. Nothing above 3in: past that, ride quality falls off fast for no real gain, and that's not what we build.

Front-Mounted Accessories

Bull bar and winch hang off the front overhang, so essentially all of that weight loads the front axle.

Bull bar
Winch
Spot lights
LED bar or driving light pair mounted on the bar — about 100% loads the front axle.

Underbody & Chassis

Mounted between the axles, so only part of the weight transfers forward.

Rock sliders
~20kg/side along the chassis rail — about 35% of that reaches the front axle.
Bash / skid plates
Engine & transfer case plates sit forward of centre — about 75% transfers to the front.
Dual / extra battery
Engine bay, ahead of the firewall — about 90% loads the front axle.
An extra/dual battery sits off to one side of the engine bay, so that side needs a touch of preload dialled in to correct the one-sided weight. We'll set this for you.

Overall Build Weight

Tray, canopy, tools, general load — sits mostly behind the cab, so only a small share reaches the front axle.

Your setup has been calculated and attached to this order — we'll confirm the exact spec before we build.

Guide only. Your answers attach to your order automatically so we see them at checkout, and we'll sanity-check the spec before we build. We're chasing ride comfort and capability together — not stance for its own sake.

Built tough for Aussie roads. Sick of bottoming out or a harsh ride up front? A 2.0in body doesn't cut it once you're loaded. These big-bore 2.5in Bilsteins bring a much larger piston and far more oil volume, which means a smoother ride over corrugations and potholes, better front-end control, and far less fade on long hot trips or hard trails.

Why they hit different. Bilstein's mono-tube gas pressure design keeps oil and nitrogen separated under 200+ psi, virtually eliminating cavitation and shock fade — consistent performance even when things get rowdy. They run vulcanised rubber bushings rather than noisy spherical gear, so the ute stays quiet and comfortable even loaded up or flexing through rough tracks.

Adjustable and properly tuned. Circlip-style height adjustment means no guesswork and no silly preload. A matched spring plus correct valving gives you balance, not just height. Plenty of people get this wrong by running an overly stiff spring purely to make the ute sit tall — that's not how we do it. We're chasing ride comfort and capability together.

I run these on my own ute. That's how much I rate them.

Good to know

  • You can transfer the top hat from your factory setup to save a few dollars — or add a note at checkout and we'll assemble with a new one.
  • Lead time is typically 2–4 weeks on these units. Email us if you need it sooner and we'll check current stock.
  • Shipping: these are big, heavy 2.5in body shocks — an $80 shipping charge applies.
