These assembled struts feature medium-duty spring rates suitable for vehicles carrying moderate front-end accessories such as a standard bull bar and driving lights. If you've added significant weight including a steel bull bar, heavy-duty winch, dual battery system, UHF radio equipment or roof racks, you may require heavier-duty spring rates to maintain ride height and prevent premature wear. Common front accessories that affect spring selection include aftermarket bumpers (adding 30-50kg), winches (20-40kg), long range fuel tanks, and steel bull bars with integrated winch mounts which can add over 80kg to the front axle.
Professional installation is recommended for these assembled front struts, though experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate tools can complete the installation in approximately 2-3 hours. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings, preventing premature tyre wear and ensuring optimal handling characteristics. We recommend a 500km break-in period during which you avoid heavy loads and extreme off-road use while the springs settle and shock seals bed in. For vehicles with worn or sagging suspension, consider pairing these struts with upgraded suspension components such as quality sway bar links and steering dampers for a complete front-end rebuild.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one 4WD suspension brand through decades of real-world testing across the harshest outback conditions, from the Simpson Desert to Cape York.

Trusted by tradespeople, grey nomads and weekend warriors alike, the complete Toughdog suspension range delivers proven reliability when you need it most.
These assembled front struts are ideal for Ford Everest owners seeking to restore factory ride quality, improve handling with front-end accessories, or upgrade worn-out factory suspension without the complexity of separate component installation. Perfect for grey nomads towing caravans who need stable, predictable handling, tradies carrying tools and equipment who require load-supporting performance, and touring families wanting improved comfort and control on long highway drives and corrugated gravel roads. If you regularly tow heavy loads or carry significant rear cargo, consider pairing these front struts with airbag suspension at the rear for adjustable load support and level ride height.

Yes, these Toughdog assembled front struts are engineered specifically for Ford Everest UA series models manufactured between 2015 and 2018, covering all variants including Ambiente, Trend and Titanium in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. The struts are direct replacements for factory units with no modifications required for installation. If you're unsure about your specific vehicle variant or have made suspension modifications, use our online parts finder or contact our team to confirm exact fitment before ordering.
These are replacement-height assembled struts designed to restore your Everest to factory ride height rather than provide additional lift. They're ideal for vehicles with sagging or worn suspension, or for maintaining correct ride height when carrying front-end accessories like bull bars and winches. If you're looking to increase ride height for larger tyres or improved ground clearance, you'll need a dedicated lift kit with raised springs and matched shock absorbers. Contact our team to discuss lift kit options for your specific requirements.
This kit includes two complete front strut assemblies, each featuring a premium coil spring already installed on a nitrogen gas shock absorber with pre-fitted strut mounts, bearings, dust boots and bump stops. All necessary installation hardware and fasteners are included for a complete front strut replacement. Note that lower control arms, sway bar links, alignment services and rear suspension components are not included and must be purchased separately if required for your specific installation.
Yes, these Toughdog assembled struts feature multi-stage damping that firms up under load, making them well-suited for regular towing applications including caravans, camper trailers and boat trailers. The progressive valving provides comfortable unladen ride quality while delivering increased control and reduced body movement when the vehicle is loaded or towing. For heavy towing applications or if you experience rear sag, consider adding airbag suspension at the rear to maintain level ride height and optimal towing geometry across varying load conditions.
Control arm replacement is not required when installing these factory-height replacement struts, as they maintain the original suspension geometry of your Ford Everest. However, if your vehicle has covered high kilometres or shows signs of worn control arm bushings (clunking noises, uneven tyre wear, poor steering response), it's an ideal opportunity to replace control arms during the strut installation. This approach saves on labour costs by addressing multiple suspension components in a single service. Inspect your existing control arms for wear before proceeding with installation.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing these assembled front struts to ensure correct camber, caster and toe settings. Failure to perform proper alignment will result in premature and uneven tyre wear, reduced fuel economy, and compromised handling characteristics. Any qualified suspension or tyre shop can perform this service, which typically takes 30-45 minutes. Budget approximately $150-250 for a four-wheel alignment depending on your location, and ensure the technician sets alignment to Ford's specifications for your Everest model year.
These assembled struts come with pre-selected medium-duty spring rates suitable for most Ford Everest applications with moderate front-end accessories. If you require custom spring rates for specific load requirements (such as heavy bull bars with integrated winches or minimal accessories), contact our team to discuss options for custom-assembled struts matched to your exact accessory weight. We can recommend appropriate spring rates based on your current and planned front-end modifications to ensure optimal ride height and performance for your specific setup.
As these are factory-height replacement struts rather than a lift kit, they will not provide additional clearance for larger tyres beyond what your Everest originally accommodated. Most 2015-2018 Everest models can fit up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 tyres (depending on wheel size) without rubbing at factory height, though this may vary based on wheel offset and front-end accessories. If you're planning to fit significantly larger tyres for improved off-road capability, you'll need a suspension lift kit to provide adequate clearance and prevent tyre contact with guards or suspension components.
All Toughdog products are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage, reflecting the brand's confidence in their engineering and durability. Specific warranty terms cover defects in materials and workmanship when the product is installed correctly and used under normal operating conditions. Warranty does not cover damage from accidents, misuse, modifications or lack of maintenance such as failing to perform wheel alignments. Retain your purchase receipt and installation records to support any warranty claims, and contact us directly if you experience any issues with your Toughdog assembled struts.
Absolutely — these Toughdog assembled struts are engineered to deliver excellent on-road comfort and handling for daily driving, commuting and highway touring while also providing enhanced capability for weekend adventures and light to moderate off-road use. The multi-stage damping provides a comfortable, controlled ride over typical road imperfections while firming up over larger bumps and corrugations to prevent harsh bottoming. Many Everest owners use this setup as their everyday suspension solution, appreciating the balance between comfort, load capacity and durability for both urban driving and occasional touring or towing applications.
Perfect Drop-In Replacement for My Work Ute
Fitted these Toughdog front struts to my Everest last month and they've been brilliant for daily site work and weekend trips down the coast. Being pre-assembled saved me a heap of time compared to mucking around with spring compressors, and the ride quality is spot-on – handles the loaded tool boxes during the week and still comfortable for the family on weekends. Well worth the money for a quality Aussie-spec product that actually does what it says.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these Toughdog front struts to our 2016 Everest after the originals were looking tired, and the difference is immediately noticeable on corrugated roads heading up to our regular camping spots. The pre-assembled units saved heaps of time during installation, and the ride quality is honestly better than factory – much more controlled over the rough stuff while still being comfortable for the kids in the back. Really happy with the value for money and they're holding up brilliantly after six months of weekend trips.(5)
Best Upgrade for My Work Rig
Fitted these Toughdog struts to my Everest after the originals wore out from daily site work and weekend beach runs. The pre-assembled units saved me heaps of time, and the ride quality is spot on – handles the loaded trailer beautifully and soaks up the rough stuff without any dramas. Definitely worth the money for something that'll last in Aussie conditions.(5)
Perfect for Remote Touring and Corrugations
These assembled front struts have handled everything from the Canning Stock Route to the Simpson Desert without missing a beat. The pre-assembled units made installation straightforward at my local mechanic, and the ride quality is noticeably better than the factory setup, especially when loaded with recovery gear and water. After 15,000km of outback punishment including some serious corrugations, they're still performing like new.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted these Toughdog struts to our 2016 Everest before our trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugated tracks, and the kids aren't complaining about being bounced around in the back anymore. Being pre-assembled saved me a heap of time too – had them installed in under two hours at home.(5)
