When you buy a 4×4, a lift kit is often one of the first upgrades. Lift kits for 4×4 vehicles improve off-road capability, enhance appearance, and help with load handling. At Coastal 4×4, we specialize in lift kits for various vehicles like Hilux, Landcruiser, Patrol, Amarok, Ranger, and D-MAX. Let’s explore the options and benefits of installing a lift kit on your 4×4.

A lift kit can greatly enhance your 4×4’s performance and aesthetic appeal. It increases ground clearance, making off-roading more manageable.
You can also install larger tires, which provide better traction on rugged terrain. Moreover, a lift kit improves visibility by raising the driver’s seat, which is beneficial for both off-road adventures and daily driving. With the right lift kit, your 4×4 becomes more versatile and capable.

4x4 Lift Kits

Thinking about a lift kit raises several questions about legality, performance, and maintenance.
Legality depends on your state’s rules and the total height change from suspension and tyres. Always check local regulations and keep your lift within approved limits so you stay safe and compliant.
Most touring and daily-use 4x4s are well served by a 2-inch lift, while a 3-inch lift suits more serious off-road use and heavy accessories, provided it remains legal for your state and vehicle.
The best lift kit depends on your vehicle, how much weight you carry, whether you tow, and how often you head off-road. For daily driving and light touring, a comfort-oriented 2-inch kit usually provides better ride quality and clearance without changing the vehicle too much. If you carry constant load such as drawers, canopies, long range tanks or towing gear, a heavy-duty kit with springs and shocks matched to that weight is usually more suitable. Our team can look at your 4×4, discuss how you use it and recommend a coil or heavy-duty suspension package that suits your needs and complies with local regulations.
A lift kit raises the centre of gravity and can increase body roll, so you may notice different on-road behaviour and braking. In return, you gain better clearance and control off-road when the correct kit and alignment are used.
Yes, you can tow with a lift kit, but you must stay within your vehicle’s rated GVM, GCM and tow limits, and ensure the suspension, towbar and brakes are suitable for the load. In some cases a GVM upgrade may be needed for safe, legal towing.
Regular checks of alignment, suspension components, tyres and brakes by your usual mechanic are important after a lift. If you notice anything unusual with a lift kit that Coastals has supplied and installed, you can come back to us so we can inspect our components and advise on warranty options where applicable.
