Why Choose an N80 Lift Kit for Your Hilux
An N80 lift kit is one of the most popular upgrades for Toyota Hilux owners looking to improve clearance, handling and overall capability. The Hilux N80 platform has been around since mid-2015, but there are important differences across model years, cab types and driveline setups. That’s why choosing a lift kit designed specifically for the N80 is essential. From WorkMate and SR models through to SR5, Rugged X and Rogue variants, we stock lift kits that are engineered to suit the exact suspension layout of each Hilux, whether it’s a single cab, extra cab or dual cab.
Most N80 lift kits fall into either suspension lifts or body lifts, and each serves a different purpose. Suspension lift kits upgrade springs and shocks to raise the vehicle while improving ride control, load handling and off-road performance. These are ideal for touring setups, vehicles carrying bull bars, winches or canopies, or anyone wanting better stability on rough roads. Body lift kits, on the other hand, raise the cab and tub independently of the suspension, making them a smart option if you want extra tyre clearance or a more aggressive stance without changing the way the Hilux rides.
As a business that supplies 4WD suspension solutions across Australia, we focus on N80 lift kits that are proven, well-engineered and built for local conditions. Our range includes trusted brands like Superior Engineering, PSR and King Springs, covering everything from simple 2-inch lifts through to advanced VSB14-approved systems. Whether your Hilux is a daily work ute or a fully built touring rig, we’re here to help you choose an N80 lift kit that suits how you actually drive.
N80 Lift Kit Off-Road Capability
A properly set up N80 lift kit transforms how a Hilux performs both on and off the road. By increasing ground clearance and improving suspension travel, a lift kit helps your Hilux tackle ruts, rocky tracks and uneven terrain with far less risk of underbody contact. For touring and off-road builds, upgraded suspension also improves approach and departure angles, giving you more confidence when navigating steep climbs or washouts.
Ride quality is often a concern, especially for Hilux owners who use their vehicle every day. When matched correctly, a quality N80 suspension lift doesn’t make the vehicle harsh or unstable. In many cases, premium shocks and springs deliver better control than factory suspension, especially once accessories like bull bars, winches or rear canopies are fitted. The result is a Hilux that feels more planted on corrugated roads, more predictable when loaded, and more comfortable over long distances.
N80 Lift Kit Installation
Installing an N80 lift kit is a straightforward process when the correct components are used, but there are a few important things to consider. Suspension lifts typically require a wheel alignment once fitted, and depending on the lift height, may benefit from supporting upgrades like upgraded upper control arms or diff drops to maintain correct geometry. Body lifts are generally simpler, but must be matched to cab type and tray or tub configuration to ensure proper fitment.
Compliance is also important, as lift regulations vary across Australian states and territories. Most N80 lift kits are designed to meet commonly accepted height limits when installed correctly, especially VSB14-approved systems. We always recommend checking local regulations or speaking with a qualified installer before combining suspension, body lift and tyre size increases.
