Lift Kits & 4x4 Suspension

About this range

Lift your Hilux, Ranger, D-MAX or BT-50 with a properly matched suspension kit rather than a mixed bag of parts. As an authorised TJM stockist we carry the TJM XGS range, including Remote, Roamer and Rugged kits built for specific models and load setups. Order online with Australia-wide shipping, or have your kit supplied and fitted at our Burwood workshop in Melbourne, where our team fits lift kits every week.

How to choose a lift kit

A suspension kit changes ride height, how the vehicle carries weight and how its safety systems behave. Victoria has clear limits on how high you can go without engineering.

  1. How much lift is legal

    Nationally, up to 50 mm total with no certificate. In Victoria an off-road 4WD can go to 75 mm (50 mm suspension plus 25 mm of tyre radius) with a kit designed and tested for that vehicle, and you keep the kit maker's written statement (VSI 8).

  2. Tyres count

    Bigger tyres add to the lift. A 4WD can go up to 50 mm larger in diameter if the tyres stay inside the guards and don't rub, and the speedo must stay accurate.

  3. Match it to your load

    Choose springs for what the vehicle really carries: bar, winch, drawers, water and touring gear. A kit set up for an empty vehicle will sag under a full touring load.

  4. Stability control

    A lift must not affect electronic stability control, and the ESC unit must never be disconnected. Airbag suspension needs a VASS certificate in Victoria (VSI 8).

Choosing the right lift kit

Springs and shocks are tuned for what your 4x4 carries all the time. A bull bar, winch, canopy or drawer system adds constant weight, and the right kit accounts for it. TJM builds the XGS range in Remote, Roamer and Rugged versions so the kit can match how much gear you run and how hard you tour. Tell us your accessory setup and we will recommend the right one.

Lift height is regulated. Most states allow a modest suspension lift without engineering approval, but the rules differ by state and any increase in tyre size counts towards your total lift. A properly engineered kit also keeps electronic stability control and braking behaviour predictable. We check what is legal for your vehicle and state before you commit.

The kits on this page are model specific, covering the D-MAX and BT-50 from 2020 onwards, the Next-Gen Ranger and the Hilux from 2015 onwards. Book a wheel alignment after fitting, and if you are close to your payload limit ask us about a GVM upgrade.

Common questions

How much can I legally lift my 4WD in Victoria?

Up to 50 mm in total (suspension, body blocks and tyres combined) needs no certificate. Off-road 4WDs can go to 75 mm: 50 mm of suspension plus up to 25 mm extra tyre radius, using a commercially available kit designed and tested for that vehicle at that height, fitted to instructions, with the kit maker's written statement kept by the owner (VSI 8). More than that needs a VASS signatory.

Do bigger tyres count towards the lift?

Yes. Tyre size adds to total height. On a 4WD, tyres can be up to 50 mm larger in diameter than the largest option the vehicle maker lists, provided they stay within the guards and don't foul anything (VSB 14 Section LS, VSI 8).

Does a lift kit increase my GVM?

No. A lift kit changes ride height and load handling, but your legal GVM only changes with a certified GVM upgrade.

Will a lift affect stability control and driver-assist systems?

It can. Victoria requires evidence that electronic stability control isn't affected, and a modification that stops systems like emergency braking or lane support working isn't acceptable (VSI 8). Ask us about your model before you buy.

My springs have sagged. Is replacing them a modification?

No. Restoring the vehicle to its original ride height is maintenance, not a modification (VSI 8).
