When ordering Bilstein shocks alongside coil springs, always select spring rates based on your constant load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle. This includes bullbars, winches, roof racks with roof-top tents, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, and permanently mounted water tanks. Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or periodic towing should NOT be factored into spring rate selection, as over-springing will result in harsh ride quality and potential damage to other suspension components. Front constant loads typically include bullbar (30-60kg), winch (30-40kg), and heavy-duty battery setups, while rear constant loads include drawer systems (80-120kg), dual spare wheels (60kg), and roof-top tent weight transferred through the chassis.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended for this front shock absorber pair. Installation requires appropriate spring compressors, torque wrenches, and understanding of Ford Everest suspension geometry to ensure correct fitment and safety. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to restore factory steering geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for bushings to settle and shock valving to bed in before evaluating final ride quality. For vehicles with heavy constant front loads (bullbar, winch, dual battery), consider pairing these Bilstein shocks with upgraded control arms to restore caster angle and maintain optimal handling characteristics.
Since 1954, Bilstein has set the global benchmark for monotube shock absorber technology, supplying OE suspension to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, and Ford performance divisions. Every Bilstein shock sold in Australia undergoes local validation testing across outback conditions, ensuring German engineering precision meets Australian durability demands. Backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty and trusted by professional touring companies, caravan towers, and mining operators, Bilstein suspension products deliver unmatched longevity and consistent performance across hundreds of thousands of kilometres.
These Bilstein front shocks are ideal for Ford Everest Next-Gen owners who demand premium ride quality without compromise — families undertaking extended touring holidays, grey nomads towing caravans around Australia, and tradespeople who need reliable daily-driver performance with weekend off-road capability. If you regularly carry heavy rear loads or tow at capacity, consider complementing this shock upgrade with airbag suspension to maintain level ride height and prevent excessive rear squat. Whether you're navigating corrugated Cape York tracks, towing through the Flinders Ranges, or simply want the confidence of world-class suspension technology on every school run, these shocks deliver measurable improvements in comfort, control, and safety.

These Bilstein front shock absorbers (Part Number 24-341448) are specifically engineered for the Ford Everest Next-Gen platform (2023-current). They're a direct OE replacement requiring no modifications and fitting all engine variants including diesel and petrol. The shocks use factory mounting points and integrate perfectly with the standard suspension geometry. If you own a previous-generation Everest (UA/PXIII), you'll need a different Bilstein part number — please check our parts finder or contact our team to confirm the correct application for your specific model year and variant.
These are direct OE-replacement front shock absorbers and do not provide any lift on their own — they're designed to work with factory ride height or in conjunction with aftermarket coil springs. If you're seeking increased ground clearance for the Ford Everest Next-Gen, you'll need to pair these Bilstein shocks with raised coil springs that match your vehicle's constant load requirements. The Bilstein shocks provide extended droop travel to accommodate lifted springs while maintaining full compression control. For complete lift solutions including springs and shocks matched to your specific setup, browse our complete lift kit range or contact our suspension experts for personalized recommendations.
This kit includes two Bilstein monotube gas-pressure front shock absorbers (Part Number 24-341448) complete with factory-fitted mounting hardware, dust boots, bump stops, and bushings. Each shock features velocity-sensitive valving specifically tuned for the Ford Everest Next-Gen platform and arrives ready to install using factory mounting points. Installation instructions with torque specifications are included. This kit does NOT include coil springs, upper control arms, or alignment services — these components are available separately if your build requires them. Rear shock absorbers are also sold separately if you're upgrading the complete suspension system.
Absolutely — these Bilstein front shocks are engineered to handle the Ford Everest's 3,500kg towing capacity with exceptional stability and control. The monotube gas-pressure design prevents fade during extended highway towing, while velocity-sensitive damping maintains steering precision and reduces front-end dive under braking. When towing heavy loads, the front shocks work harder to control weight transfer and maintain level handling. For maximum towing performance, consider pairing these front Bilstein shocks with matching rear shocks and airbag suspension in the rear to maintain ride height and eliminate squat under tongue weight, creating a balanced towing platform for long-distance touring.
If you're installing these Bilstein shocks at factory ride height or with a modest lift (up to 40mm), your factory control arms will generally be adequate. However, if you're running a significant lift with heavy front accessories like a bullbar and winch, aftermarket upper control arms provide important benefits including increased caster adjustment range to restore steering geometry and additional ball joint travel for improved articulation. Upgraded control arms also allow your suspension specialist to properly align the vehicle after lifting, preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining factory-like steering feel. Our team can assess your specific build requirements and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your particular setup.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any front suspension components including shock absorbers. While shocks don't directly adjust alignment angles, the installation process involves disconnecting steering and suspension components, and even minor variations in reassembly can affect toe, camber, and caster settings. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, predictable steering response, and optimal handling characteristics. The alignment also allows your technician to verify that all suspension geometry is within Ford's specifications after the new shocks are fitted. Budget approximately $180-250 for a comprehensive four-wheel alignment at a reputable 4WD suspension specialist who understands modified vehicles.
These Bilstein front shock absorbers are sold separately from coil springs, giving you complete flexibility to select spring rates matched to your exact constant load requirements. When ordering springs separately, always choose rates based on permanently fitted accessories — bullbar, winch, dual battery, roof rack with RTT — not occasional loads like camping gear or passengers. Bilstein shocks feature broad valving that works effectively with a range of spring rates from standard to heavy-duty. Over-springing (selecting too heavy a spring rate) will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction, and potential damage to other suspension components. Our suspension specialists can help calculate your exact constant load and recommend the ideal spring rates for your specific Ford Everest Next-Gen configuration.
These shock absorbers alone don't increase tyre clearance — you'll need raised coil springs to gain the lift necessary for larger tyres. When paired with appropriate lift springs (typically 40-50mm), the Ford Everest Next-Gen can accommodate 265/70R18 or 275/65R18 tyres without significant modifications. Larger sizes may require minor trimming of plastic inner guards or aftermarket wheel offset changes. The Bilstein shocks provide extended droop travel to maintain wheel contact during off-road articulation with larger tyres, while the velocity-sensitive damping compensates for the increased unsprung weight. For specific tyre fitment advice based on your desired lift height and wheel specifications, contact our team who can provide detailed clearance information for your build.
Bilstein shock absorbers sold through authorized Australian dealers like 4WD Suspension are covered by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty period and specific terms vary by product line, but typically covers 2-3 years or 80,000-100,000km depending on the shock model and application. Warranty coverage requires proof of purchase, professional installation, and proper vehicle usage within manufacturer specifications. The warranty does NOT cover damage from accidents, competition use, incorrect installation, or fitting the wrong shock to an incompatible vehicle. Keep your purchase receipt and installation records, and contact us immediately if you experience any warranty-related concerns for fast resolution support.
Absolutely — Bilstein monotube shocks are renowned for delivering exceptional on-road comfort and refinement while maintaining off-road capability when needed. Unlike harsh competition shocks, these use velocity-sensitive valving that remains compliant over small bumps and road imperfections, providing quiet, controlled highway cruising that's often superior to factory suspension. The gas-pressure design eliminates fade during long highway drives, maintaining consistent damping through extended freeway running or mountain descents. Ford Everest Next-Gen owners who daily drive their vehicles will appreciate the refined ride quality, reduced body roll in corners, and improved steering precision. Whether you're commuting to work, running school errands, or embarking on weekend touring adventures, these Bilstein shocks deliver premium performance in all conditions without compromise.
