Front Coil Strut Shock Spacer (35mm) – Toyota Hilux VIGO 2005-2014 KUN26
Add 35mm 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. Affordable, no-fuss way to level the truck, fit bigger tyres (33–35"), improve approach angle or correct sag from bullbars/winches/snorkels – perfect for tradies, campers or 4x4s that need extra 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) – 35mm 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 – keep 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
- 35mm front lift – levels the truck, gives better clearance and stance without a full suspension change
- Fits bigger tyres easily – clears 33–35" 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 actual lift height will a 35mm thick strut spacer provide?
Due to the suspension geometry motion ratio of the HiLux independent front end, the physical thickness of a spacer does not equal the lift height on a 1:1 scale. A 35mm thick spacer alters the lower control arm pivot angle to deliver approximately 50mm to 60mm (roughly 2 to 2.5 inches) of real-world lift height at the front wheels.
Will this spacer affect my vehicle's original ride quality?
Because these strut top spacers bolt directly to the exterior of your factory coil top-hat assembly, they do not compress the spring or add any pre-load to your coils. Your factory spring rate and factory shock absorber valving stay completely standard, giving you front-end lift while maintaining a comfortable, compliant ride quality.
Is this spacer kit compatible with my specific 2005–2014 HiLux?
This kit is specifically engineered for all 4WD and 2WD High-Rider Toyota HiLux (Vigo / KUN26 generation) models built between 2005 and 2014. It matches the original factory 3-bolt top-hat mounting pattern precisely. It will not fit low-riding base-model 2WD variants.
Do I need to use a coil spring compressor to install this spacer?
No, a spring compressor is not necessary for this job. Unlike internal spring spacers that require dismantling the shock and spring, these are external bolt-on spacers. You simply unbolt the entire factory strut assembly from the vehicle, fit the spacer over the top mounting studs using the supplied hardware, and bolt the extended assembly back into the chassis tower.
Is a professional wheel alignment necessary after installation?
Yes, a professional wheel alignment is absolutely critical immediately following installation. Elevating an Independent Front Suspension (IFS) geometry directly alters your steering's toe-in, camber, and caster tracking metrics. Driving without a proper alignment will cause severe tyre scrub, an off-center steering wheel, and compromised handling dynamics.
