Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality, load support, and component longevity. You must calculate your constant accessory load — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle — and select springs accordingly at checkout. Front constant loads include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, steel trays, and heavy-duty batteries. Rear constant loads include drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, long-range fuel tanks, canopies, and roof racks. Important: Occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, and towing are NOT considered constant load. Over-springing your vehicle with unnecessarily heavy spring rates will result in harsh ride quality, reduced traction, and potential damage to other suspension components. If you're unsure, our team can help calculate your exact requirements.
This lift kit requires professional installation or experienced DIY mechanical knowledge including spring compressor tools and appropriate safety equipment. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain vehicle stability. All IMS shock absorbers require a 500km break-in period during which you should avoid extreme damping adjustments while seals and bushings settle. For vehicles with 3+ inch lift or heavy front-end loads, we strongly recommend pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to correct castor angle and maintain factory steering feel and handling characteristics.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered to fit all Ford Everest Next-Gen variants from 2022 onwards including Trend, Sport, and Platinum models. The kit includes vehicle-specific coil springs and shock absorbers designed around the Next-Gen chassis geometry and weight distribution. All mounting points utilize factory locations for bolt-on installation without modification. If you have a pre-2022 Everest (PXIII or earlier), you'll need a different kit — contact our team to confirm your exact year and variant for perfect fitment confidence.
This kit delivers between 2 to 3 inches (50-75mm) of lift depending on your vehicle's current load configuration and the spring rates you select. Vehicles with heavier constant front loads (bull bars, winches) will sit slightly lower in the front, while unladen vehicles achieve the maximum lift height. The rear lift similarly depends on constant rear accessories like drawer systems, long-range tanks, and canopies. For precise lift height estimates based on your specific setup, contact our suspension specialists who can calculate expected ride height with your accessory list.
This complete kit includes two Dobinsons IMS adjustable front shock absorbers, two front coil springs, two IMS adjustable rear shock absorbers, two rear coil springs, plus all necessary mounting hardware and bushings. You also receive an adjustment tool and setup guide for the IMS damping system. The kit does NOT include upper control arms, extended brake lines, or differential drop spacers which may be required depending on your final lift height and driving requirements. Spring rates must be selected at checkout based on your constant accessory load — our team can assist with this selection.
Absolutely — this kit excels at towing when paired with correctly selected spring rates for your constant rear load. The IMS adjustable rear shocks allow you to firm up damping when hitched to a caravan or trailer, reducing rear squat and improving stability at highway speeds. The load-rated coil springs maintain proper ride height under tongue weight and prevent the harsh bottoming common with standard springs. For extreme towing applications or variable loads, consider adding airbag suspension which works perfectly alongside this kit. Always ensure your spring selection accounts for permanent rear accessories but NOT occasional towing weight.
For a 2-3 inch lift on the Everest Next-Gen, upgraded control arms are not strictly mandatory but are highly recommended, especially if you're installing heavier front accessories or planning aggressive off-road use. The factory control arms will function, but aftermarket arms with adjustable geometry correct castor angle for improved steering feel, reduced tyre wear, and better high-speed stability. If you're lifting 3 inches or more, or adding significant front weight, control arms become essential to maintain safe handling characteristics. Our team can assess your specific build and recommend whether arms are necessary for your application.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit and is critical for safe vehicle operation. Lifting your Everest changes suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe settings which directly affect steering feel, tyre wear patterns, and vehicle stability at speed. A professional alignment ensures all angles are returned to manufacturer specifications (or optimised for your new ride height) and prevents premature tyre wear that can cost hundreds of dollars. Budget for alignment costs when planning your lift kit installation — it's not optional, it's essential for safety and performance.
Yes, and this is actually essential for optimal performance — front and rear spring rates should be selected independently based on your specific constant load in each location. At checkout you'll choose front spring rates based on bull bars, winches, and front accessories, then separately choose rear rates based on drawer systems, tanks, and rear accessories. This customisation ensures your Everest sits level and delivers balanced ride quality both unladen and loaded. Never select spring rates based on occasional loads like camping gear or towing weight — only permanent accessories count. If you're unsure about correct spring selection, our technical team can calculate requirements from your accessory list.
With a 2-3 inch lift, most Everest Next-Gen owners can comfortably fit 32-33 inch tyres (265/70R17 or 275/65R18 equivalent) with minimal to no rubbing on factory wheels. Tyre fitment also depends on wheel offset, tyre brand (some run larger than others), and whether you trim any plastic inner guards. For larger tyres or aggressive off-road use with maximum articulation, minor guard trimming may be required. Always test fit and cycle suspension through full travel before heading off-road. Our team can provide specific tyre recommendations based on your wheel specs and intended use — contact us with your wheel offset and desired tyre size for fitment advice.
Dobinsons stands behind this kit with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage against defects in materials and workmanship, giving you long-term confidence in your investment. Warranty terms vary by component (shocks vs springs) and are detailed in the documentation included with your kit. Registration of your warranty within 30 days of purchase is recommended for full coverage. The warranty covers normal 4WD use including touring, off-road driving, and towing when components are correctly installed and maintained. Warranty claims are handled directly through 4WD Suspension Australia with full local support — no dealing with overseas suppliers or complex return processes.
Yes — Dobinsons specifically engineers their kits to maintain excellent on-road ride quality while improving off-road capability, making them perfect for vehicles that serve as daily drivers. The IMS adjustable shocks let you dial in softer damping for unladen highway cruising, delivering a comfortable ride that rivals or exceeds factory suspension. The progressive-rate coil springs absorb bumps smoothly while preventing harsh bottoming under compression. Many owners report improved ride quality compared to factory suspension, especially when correctly spring-rated for their vehicle's load. This kit is ideal for the 90% of driving that's on-road while giving you the capability for the 10% that's off-road adventure.
Perfect Setup for Remote Outback Work
Been running this Dobinsons lift kit on my Next-Gen Everest for six months now, tackling everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York's wet season tracks. The adjustable monotube shocks handle corrugations brilliantly while keeping the loaded rig stable when towing my camper trailer through deep ruts. Fitment was spot-on and the ride quality is miles ahead of the stock setup, especially when carrying expedition gear and water. Couldn't be happier with how it's transformed the vehicle for serious remote touring.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Tourer
Fitted the Dobinsons adjustable lift kit to our new Everest before our first big Cape trip and couldn't be happier with the decision. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with the camper trailer and all the kids' gear. Setup was straightforward and the adjustability means we can fine-tune it depending on whether we're running empty or fully loaded for a fortnight away.(5)
Perfect Setup for Daily Work and Weekend Trips
Had the Dobinsons adjustable lift kit fitted to my Next-Gen Everest about three months back and it's been brilliant for carting tools and materials around Sydney during the week, plus weekend trips down the coast. The ride quality is actually better than stock even when loaded up, which was a nice surprise. Setup and fitment was straightforward according to my mechanic, and the adjustability means I can fine-tune it as needed.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Adventures
Got this Dobinsons adjustable lift kit fitted to our Next-Gen Everest before our trip down to Wilsons Prom and the difference is night and day. The ride quality is actually better than stock, even with the extra height, and the kids don't complain about being bounced around on corrugated tracks anymore. Really impressed with how well everything fitted together and the adjustability means we can dial it in perfectly depending on how loaded up we are with camping gear.(5)
