A 50mm lift for the N80 Hilux, built around Formula 4x4 shocks and pre-assembled ReadyStruts. It's developed to improve ride quality, handling and control across sealed roads, touring routes and off-road terrain.
Formula 4x4 lift kit warranty
5 Year / Unlimited km
Subject to Formula 4x4 warranty terms and online activation. See warranty details
Up front, Formula 4x4 struts come as ReadyStruts with King Springs coil springs and SuperPro top mounts. At the rear, Formula 4x4 shocks are paired with a SuperPro rear block spacer kit. See every part in the What's in the kit tab.
How the Core kit lifts the rear
Instead of new rear leaf springs, the Core kit keeps your standard rear leaf springs and lifts the rear with a SuperPro rear block spacer kit: two billet alloy spacer blocks, supplied with four U-bolts and a brake hose extension.
Why Formula 4x4 shocks
- Fade-free damping. Low-pressure nitrogen gas for fade-free performance, with a design that aids heat dissipation.
- Built to last. An anti-corrosion finish, robotically welded seams, NOK oil seals and high-quality oil.
- SuperPro bushings. Fitted to the front shocks.
- Made for your vehicle. An application-specific design for your vehicle.
Pre-assembled ReadyStruts
Up front, Formula 4x4 struts come pre-assembled with King Springs coil springs and SuperPro top mounts as a matched pair of ready-to-fit struts. There's no spring-and-strut dismantling before fitting, which helps cut installation time.
Ride, handling and load
Formula 4x4 shocks are tuned for a comfortable yet controlled ride, with heavy-duty construction suited to Australian touring and recreational 4WD use.
- Front springs matched to your load. The front springs create the front lift, so choose your front load (bull bar and winch) and engine type when you build your kit. Getting this right helps the kit sit level and ride comfortably.
- Standard rear springs. The rear keeps your standard leaf springs, so there's no rear load option to choose.
- Accessories first. Where possible, fit permanent accessories like bars, winches, drawers and canopies before the lift kit so the suspension is matched correctly from the start.
- Professional fitting. We recommend installation by a suspension technician or mechanic, preferably with wheel alignment facilities.
Who it suits
Hilux owners who want a 50mm lift with Formula 4x4 shocks for daily driving, touring and recreational off-road use, keeping the standard rear leaf springs. Check your vehicle in the Vehicle Fitment tab before you order.
Not suitable for 2022-on Hilux Rogue (wide-body) or GR Sport models.
