Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and preventing premature wear on other suspension components. You must calculate your constant accessory load — the combined weight of permanently fitted accessories that your vehicle carries at all times. Common front accessories include steel bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), UHF antennas, driving lights, and upgraded batteries. Rear constant loads include steel rear bars (25-40kg), dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks (30kg empty), canopies or hard lids (50-100kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), and permanently mounted fridges or toolboxes. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as camping gear, passengers, water, or towing — choosing excessively heavy springs will result in harsh ride quality, reduced articulation, and potential damage to shock absorbers and bushings.
This Bilstein lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY capabilities with appropriate spring compressors, torque wrenches, and safety equipment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct castor, camber, and toe settings — failure to align will cause premature tyre wear and compromised handling. All springs and shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle approximately 5-10mm and damping characteristics will optimize. For vehicles with heavy bull bars or significant front accessory weight, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and restore factory steering geometry for optimal handling and reduced bump-steer.
Bilstein has been the benchmark for premium monotube gas shock technology since 1954, trusted by European manufacturers, motorsport teams, and 4WD enthusiasts worldwide for uncompromising quality and performance. Every Bilstein shock undergoes rigorous Australian outback testing to validate durability in extreme heat, corrugations, dust, and water crossings that define our unique touring conditions. Backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and supported by a national network of authorized dealers and suspension specialists, Bilstein suspension products deliver exceptional longevity and resale value for discerning Ford Everest owners.
This Bilstein lift kit is ideal for touring families who demand refined on-road comfort during long highway journeys combined with genuine off-road capability on gravel tracks, beach sand, and rocky trails. Tradespersons who carry constant tool loads and tow work trailers will appreciate the enhanced load capacity and squat resistance without sacrificing daily driving comfort. Caravan and camper trailer owners towing up to 3000kg should consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension in the rear for infinitely adjustable load support and self-leveling capability on uneven terrain.

This kit is specifically engineered for Ford Everest UA1 (2015-2018) and UA2 (2018-current) models across all trim levels including Ambiente, Trend, Titanium, and Sport variants. It fits both 3.2L Duratorq five-cylinder diesel and 2.0L Bi-Turbo four-cylinder diesel engines with factory coil spring suspension. If you're unsure about your specific variant or have aftermarket modifications, contact our team with your VIN number for definitive fitment confirmation. This kit does not fit earlier Territory-based Everest models or international-market variants with different suspension configurations.
This kit provides a genuine 50mm (2 inch) lift height measured at the chassis, though actual ground clearance gains depend on tyre size and accessory weight. Front lift is achieved through raised coil springs, while rear lift comes from increased-height King Springs coils matched to Bilstein dampers with extended stroke. After the initial 500km settling period, expect approximately 45-48mm of sustained lift height under typical constant load conditions. Heavier accessory loads may compress springs slightly more, while lighter configurations may sit marginally higher within the design range.
This package includes two Bilstein Offroad monotube gas front shock absorbers, two King Springs progressive-rate front coil springs, two Bilstein Offroad monotube gas rear shock absorbers, and two King Springs progressive-rate rear coil springs — everything needed to lift front and rear suspension simultaneously. Spring rates are selectable based on your constant accessory load during ordering. The kit does not include upper control arms, brake line extensions, diff drop brackets, U-bolts, or installation hardware, which are available separately if required for your specific configuration. All components are designed for direct bolt-in fitment using factory mounting points.
Yes, this Bilstein kit significantly improves towing performance compared to factory suspension, with upgraded spring rates reducing squat and Bilstein's velocity-sensitive damping controlling trailer sway during emergency maneuvers and crosswinds. The kit handles towing loads up to the Everest's rated 3000kg capacity when matched with appropriate rear spring rates for your tow ball download. For maximum towing capability and adjustability, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear axle, which allows you to fine-tune ride height and load support based on trailer weight and road conditions. Always ensure your total vehicle weight including accessories, passengers, and tow ball download remains within GVM limits.
Upper control arms are not strictly mandatory for a 50mm lift on the Ford Everest, but they are highly recommended if you're running heavy bull bars or front accessories exceeding 60kg combined weight. Aftermarket adjustable upper control arms restore optimal castor angle after lifting, improving straight-line stability, reducing steering wander, and minimizing bump-steer during off-road articulation. They also provide additional clearance for larger diameter tyres and allow professional suspension installers to achieve precise alignment specifications. If you're planning serious touring or frequent off-road use, budget for quality upper control arms as a worthwhile complementary upgrade to maximize this kit's performance potential.
Professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit, including this Bilstein system. Raising the vehicle's ride height alters suspension geometry, affecting castor, camber, and toe angles that directly impact tyre wear, steering feel, and vehicle stability. A quality four-wheel alignment performed by a suspension specialist ensures all angles are returned to manufacturer specifications (or optimized for lifted geometry with aftermarket control arms). Skipping alignment will cause rapid inner or outer tyre edge wear, wandering steering, and compromised braking performance. Plan to spend $150-250 on alignment as an essential part of your installation budget, and recheck alignment after the 500km settling period.
Yes, this kit offers selectable spring rates for both front and rear axles to match your specific constant accessory load configuration. During ordering, you'll specify your front constant load (bull bar, winch, batteries, etc.) and rear constant load (canopy, drawers, rear bar, long-range tank, etc.) so the correct King Springs rates can be supplied. It's critical to calculate only permanently fitted accessories, not camping gear, passengers, or towing loads that vary trip-to-trip. Selecting excessively heavy spring rates based on occasional loads will result in harsh ride quality, reduced wheel articulation, and potential shock absorber damage. Our team can help you calculate appropriate rates if you're uncertain about accessory weights.
This 50mm lift kit typically allows Ford Everest owners to fit tyres up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (approximately 31.5-32 inches diameter) without rubbing on standard offset wheels, though exact clearance depends on wheel offset, tyre brand sidewall profile, and suspension articulation. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required for full steering lock clearance with aggressive tread patterns. If you're planning 33-inch tyres, you'll likely need wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with reduced offset, plus additional trimming and possibly diff drop brackets to maintain CV joint angles. Always test-fit tyres at full steering lock and full compression before committing to a specific size, as variations between tyre manufacturers affect actual clearance.
Bilstein shock absorbers are covered by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, with specific terms varying based on vehicle use (recreational vs commercial). King Springs coil springs carry their own manufacturer warranty covering sagging and breakage under normal use conditions. Warranty claims require proof of purchase, professional installation with correct spring rate selection, and mandatory wheel alignment verification. Coverage excludes damage from incorrect installation, overloading beyond GVM, competition use, or failure to follow break-in procedures. Keep all installation receipts and alignment printouts to support any potential warranty claim, and register your purchase with Bilstein for streamlined claim processing.
Absolutely — this Bilstein kit is engineered to enhance daily driving comfort while adding off-road capability, not compromise on-road manners like budget lift kits often do. The monotube gas shock design delivers exceptionally smooth highway ride quality, absorbing expansion joints and road imperfections more effectively than factory twin-tube dampers. King Springs progressive-rate coils provide compliant comfort when unladen for the daily commute, then firm up progressively under load for confident handling when touring or towing. Many Everest owners report noticeably improved ride refinement compared to worn factory suspension, particularly on corrugated roads and washboard gravel where Bilstein's superior damping control eliminates the harsh crash-through that characterizes inferior shock absorbers.
Proper Kit for Remote Touring
Been running this Bilstein 2-inch lift on my Everest for about 18 months now, including some pretty brutal tracks through the Simpson and Cape York. The ride quality is genuinely impressive – loaded up with recovery gear and long-range tanks, the King Springs still maintain great articulation without the harshness you get from cheaper setups. Couldn't be happier with how it's handling the constant corrugations and creek crossings out here.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted this Bilstein 2 inch lift kit to our Everest about three months back and it's been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast and out to the high country. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when we're loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Really happy with how it handles corrugations now, and the extra clearance has already paid off on a couple of beach tracks.(5)
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Work
After putting this Bilstein lift kit through its paces on the Canning Stock Route and regular runs out to Birdsville, it's proven to be exactly what the Everest needed. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with long-range tanks and camping gear. Installation was straightforward and the King Springs have maintained their height perfectly even after some serious corrugations and creek crossings.(5)
Perfect Setup for Family Touring and Beach Trips
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to our 2017 Everest before a three-week trip up the coast and it completely transformed the vehicle. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, even when loaded up with camping gear and the rooftop tent. Ground clearance is spot on for beach driving and fire trails without being too high for the kids to climb in, and the King Springs handle the extra weight of our drawer system beautifully.(5)
Perfect Setup for Work and Weekends
Had this Bilstein lift kit fitted to my Everest about three months back and it's transformed the ute completely. Handles the loaded weight of tools and materials during the week no worries, and the ride quality is actually better than stock even when I'm empty. Took it down to the high country last month and the extra clearance made all the difference on the rough tracks, plus the Bilsteins soaked up the corrugations like a dream.(5)
