Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal performance and ride quality. During checkout, you'll be asked to specify your vehicle's constant accessory load — this refers to equipment permanently installed on your Everest, not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Common front accessories include aftermarket steel bullbars (30-50kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries, and heavy-duty intercoolers. Rear constant loads include drawer systems (40-80kg), dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks (empty weight), roof rack weight transfer, and permanently mounted toolboxes. Important: Occasional loads like camping equipment, passengers, and towing are not considered constant load — choosing springs too heavy for your actual setup will result in harsh ride quality and premature wear on suspension components.
This kit requires professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced DIY installer with appropriate lifting equipment and spring compressor tools. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, even tyre wear, and optimal handling characteristics. All suspension components should undergo a 500km break-in period where springs settle and shock absorbers bed-in — expect the ride height to settle approximately 5-10mm during this period. For Next-Gen Everest models lifted 50mm or more, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to restore correct suspension geometry, reduce ball joint angles, and maximize component life.
Bilstein has been the benchmark in monotube shock absorber technology for over 60 years, trusted by automotive manufacturers worldwide and proven in the world's toughest motorsport environments.

This kit is specifically engineered for Ford Everest Next-Gen models from 2023-onwards, fitting both 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine variants. The Next-Gen Everest features a completely redesigned chassis and suspension geometry compared to previous PXIII models, so this kit will not fit earlier Everest generations. If you're unsure about your specific model year or variant, please contact our team with your VIN number for fitment confirmation. All components are designed as direct bolt-on replacements for the factory suspension with no modifications required.
This kit provides 50mm (2 inches) of lift height front and rear, measured from factory ride height with the vehicle unladen. This lift allows fitment of tyres up to approximately 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (around 32 inches diameter) with standard wheel offset and minimal trimming. Larger tyres up to 285/70R17 (33 inches) may be possible with slight trimming and aftermarket wheels with appropriate offset. Actual tyre clearance depends on wheel backspacing, driving conditions, and suspension articulation — we recommend consulting a wheel and tyre specialist before purchasing oversized tyres.
This complete kit includes two Bilstein Offroad monotube front shock absorbers, two King front coil springs, two Bilstein Offroad monotube rear shock absorbers, and two King rear coil springs — all components required to lift your Next-Gen Everest 50mm front and rear. Spring rates are custom-selected during ordering based on your vehicle's constant accessory load. This kit does not include upper control arms, extended brake lines, bump stops, or alignment components which may be required depending on your setup. All mounting hardware for shock and spring installation is typically reused from factory components.
Yes, this Bilstein kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the superior damping control of monotube shock technology and custom-rated King coil springs that resist rear squat under load. When you select your spring rates during ordering, ensure you account for the constant tongue weight if you have a permanently attached tow hitch and accessories. For maximum towing stability and adjustability, many customers pair this kit with airbag suspension which provides on-demand load support when towing while maintaining comfortable unladen ride quality. The Bilstein shocks' velocity-sensitive valving actively controls body roll and maintains stability even when towing at highway speeds.
While not strictly mandatory for a 50mm lift, upgraded control arms are highly recommended for the Next-Gen Everest to restore optimal suspension geometry after lifting. Factory control arms are designed for stock ride height, and lifting 50mm alters ball joint angles, castor, and camber settings. Aftermarket extended or adjustable control arms correct these angles, reduce stress on ball joints and bushings, improve steering feel and stability, and maximize the lifespan of your suspension components. Many customers install control arms at the same time as their lift kit to get the geometry right from the start and avoid premature wear.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Ford Everest Next-Gen. Lifting the vehicle alters suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe angles which directly affect steering feel, tyre wear, and vehicle stability. Even with factory control arms, these angles must be reset to manufacturer specifications or adjusted to suit the new ride height. Professional alignment should be performed after installation and the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled. Driving without proper alignment will cause rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling, and potentially unsafe steering characteristics.
Yes, this kit allows you to select custom spring rates for both front and rear during the ordering process based on your vehicle's constant accessory load. This is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and performance — the front spring rate should account for bullbars, winches, and heavy-duty accessories, while the rear rate accounts for drawer systems, dual batteries, and permanently mounted equipment. It's essential to be honest about your constant load and not overestimate, as selecting springs that are too stiff will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction, and potential damage to other suspension components. Our team can assist with spring rate selection if you're unsure about your accessory weights.
With this 50mm lift kit installed, Ford Everest Next-Gen owners can typically fit tyres up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (approximately 32 inches diameter) with minimal to no modifications required. If you're running aftermarket wheels with appropriate offset (usually +20 to +35mm), you may be able to fit 285/70R17 tyres (33 inches) with some minor trimming of plastic inner guards. Actual clearance depends on your specific wheel offset, driving conditions, and how much suspension articulation you experience off-road. We always recommend test-fitting before purchasing tyres, and be aware that larger, heavier tyres may require recalibration of your speedometer and may affect fuel economy.
This kit is backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for the shock absorbers, with King Springs providing warranty coverage on their coil springs. Bilstein typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on shock absorbers for the original purchaser when used in normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation, proof of purchase, and appropriate vehicle application — damage caused by incorrect installation, overloading beyond vehicle manufacturer ratings, or competition use is not covered. As an authorized Bilstein dealer, 4WD Suspension can assist with any warranty claims and provide technical support throughout the ownership period.
Absolutely — this Bilstein kit is specifically engineered to maintain excellent ride quality for daily driving, highway commuting, and long-distance touring while significantly improving off-road capability. Bilstein's monotube technology and velocity-sensitive valving provide comfortable damping over small road imperfections at highway speeds while offering firm control over large bumps and corrugations. Unlike budget lift kits that compromise on-road comfort for off-road performance, this premium Bilstein and King Springs combination delivers the best of both worlds. Many Next-Gen Everest owners run this setup as their everyday suspension, enjoying improved driving position, better visibility, and the confidence that comes with having one of the world's most respected shock absorber brands fitted to their vehicle.
