Front Coil Strut Shock Spacer (25mm) – Toyota Hilux VIGO 2005-2014 KUN26
Add 25mm of front lift to your Toyota Hilux VIGO (2005-2014, KUN26 3.0L 1KD-FTV turbo diesel 4x4) with this pair of high-density polyurethane front coil strut shock spacers from Machter Auto Parts. Simple, affordable way to level the truck, fit bigger tyres (up to 33"), improve approach angle or correct sag from bullbars/winches/snorkels – perfect for work utes, tourers or 4x4s that need a bit more height for gravel, corrugations, bush tracks or towing in Australia without changing coils or struts.
Key Features
- Sold as a pair (left + right front strut spacers) – 25mm lift height
- Direct fit for 2005-2014 Toyota Hilux VIGO KUN26 4x4 (coil front suspension)
- High-density polyurethane – hard-wearing, UV-stable, won't crack or compress over time
- Precision-machined top & bottom plates – keeps coil/strut centred and aligned
- Black UV-resistant coating – looks clean and resists fading in harsh sun
- No change to ride quality or strut travel – maintains factory spring performance
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket struts, coils and suspension kits
Benefits
- 25mm front lift – levels the truck, gives better clearance and stance without full suspension change
- Fits bigger tyres easily – clears 33" without major rubbing (check fender clearance)
- Improves approach angle – better off-road performance on steep inclines or rock steps
- Stronger & longer-lasting than rubber spacers – polyurethane won't squash or degrade
- Easy DIY install – drop struts, insert spacers, reassemble – 1–2 hours in the driveway
- Great value lift option – big stance & clearance improvement for minimal cost & effort
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for 2005-2014 Toyota Hilux VIGO KUN26 4x4 (coil front suspension models)
- Professional installation recommended – compress struts safely, check alignment and torque all bolts to spec
- Re-align vehicle after install – lift changes caster/camber/toe, may need wheel alignment
- Pair with rear lift blocks/spacers for level stance – check overall height for roadworthy rules
- Confirm your strut type (coil-over strut) – does not fit leaf front models or later KUN series

Frequently Asked Questions
How much lift will a 25mm strut spacer actually give my HiLux?
Due to the suspension geometry of the HiLux independent front end, a 25mm thick spacer changes the motion ratio of the lower control arm and will provide approximately 35mm to 40mm (roughly 1.5 inches) of actual lift height at the front wheel. It is important to note that spacer thickness does not equal lift height on a 1:1 basis.
Will this spacer affect the ride quality of my vehicle?
Because strut top spacers bolt directly to the top of your factory coil hat, they do not compress your spring or alter the preload on your coil. This means your factory spring rate and shock valving remain completely unchanged, allowing you to achieve front lift while maintaining your comfortable, smooth factory ride quality.
Is this spacer kit compatible with all 2005–2014 HiLux models?
This kit is specifically designed for 4WD and High-Rider 2WD Toyota HiLux (Vigo / KUN26 generation) models produced from 2005 to 2014. It features the exact 3-bolt top pattern required to align with your factory upper strut mount holes. It will not fit base-model low-riding 2WD variants.
Do I need a spring compressor tool to install these spacers?
No, a spring compressor is not required. Unlike internal spring spacers that go inside the strut assembly, these are external top-hat spacers. You only need to unbolt the strut assembly from the vehicle, place the spacer over the top mounting studs, secure it with the hardware provided, and reinstall the assembly back into the chassis tower.
Is a wheel alignment necessary after fitting strut spacers?
Yes, a professional wheel alignment is absolutely critical immediately following installation. Altering the ride height on an Independent Front Suspension (IFS) geometry automatically shifts your toe-in, camber, and caster settings. Driving without an alignment will result in severe tire scrub, poor steering wheel return, and compromised road safety.
