The Toyota Hilux is a very popular pick-up truck in Australia and for good reason. It's a massive monster of a vehicle with a lot of trunk space to put virtually anything and a lot of horse power that can carry virtually anything. It is also not lacking in the components department as it's shock absorbers, brakes and all of the small working parts of the engine are all well fitted and can properly handle the power that the car is designed to put out. However, just like any other car it also has a number of extra items and add-ons that can be equipped and enhance the performance in one way or another, or maybe give it some extra features. The most popular out of all the different Toyota Hilux body parts that you can add would probably have to be the lift kits. There are two different types of lift kit, namely a body lift and a suspension lift. While there are distinct difference between the exact installation process that's needed as well as the parts, both have basically the same function of giving your Hilux some more ground clearance and the capability to fit larger heavy duty tires. Both of these features are perfect for off-roading or if you regularly have to go over very rough roads or unpaved paths, but are pretty much useless if you mostly drive in towns as the standard capabilities of the Hilux are more than enough for those situations. In essence, the suspension kits combine shocks, springs, coils and other suspension kit components to increase the ground clearance and performance after the steering geometry has been properly calibrated. The body lift on the other hand doesn't improve the performance, but doesn't affect the ride quality either and it is a more cost effective way of altering your vehicles body height without changing the steering or the suspension. There are also some additional Toyota Hilux body parts that you might want to think about getting if you install any of the lift kits. For instance, if you do intend to fit larger tires you will also need to upgrade your brakes since the stock brakes can't usually cope with the added strain. For those taller lifts, longer shocks will ensure the smoothest performance both on and off road. And finally, you might also need to fit longer control arms and track bars to compensate for the additional new height of your ride.
