Choosing the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and load-carrying performance. Select your spring rates based on constant accessories and loads that remain on your vehicle at all times — occasional loads like camping gear or towing should not be factored into spring selection as this will result in an unnecessarily harsh ride when unloaded.
Front constant loads include: Steel bullbar (30-40kg), winch (30-40kg), UHF radio and aerials (2-5kg), upgraded battery (10-15kg), and driving lights. Rear constant loads include: Dual battery systems and wiring (15-25kg), drawer systems (40-80kg), long-range fuel tanks (empty weight 20-40kg), rear bars and wheel carriers (30-50kg), and permanently mounted water tanks or fridges. If you regularly tow but remove the ball mount when not towing, do not include towing in your spring rate calculation.
Professional installation is strongly recommended for this lift kit, though experienced DIY mechanics with appropriate workshop facilities, spring compressors, and torque wrenches can complete the installation over a weekend. The remote reservoir shocks require careful routing and mounting of the external reservoirs to avoid heat sources and potential damage from rocks or branches.
A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct castor, camber, and toe settings are restored — failure to align may result in accelerated tyre wear, poor handling, and wandering at highway speeds. Consider pairing this lift with upgraded control arms if you're running the maximum 3-inch lift height, as this helps maintain optimal front suspension geometry and prevents binding.
Allow 500-1000km break-in period for springs to settle and shocks to bed in. During this period, you may notice the ride height slightly reducing (10-15mm is normal) and the damping characteristics smoothing out. Re-torque all suspension fasteners after the first 500km and adjust shock damping settings to suit your loaded vehicle weight and driving style.

This kit is specifically engineered for the Ford Everest Next Gen (2023-onwards) covering all variants including Ambiente, Trend, Sport, and Platinum models with both 3.0L V6 turbo diesel and 2.0L twin-turbo diesel engines. The kit fits both 2WD and 4WD drivetrain configurations. If you have aftermarket modifications like upgraded control arms or non-standard suspension components, please contact us to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This Dobinsons MRA kit provides 2-3 inches (50-75mm) of lift depending on vehicle load and spring rate selection. With the full 3-inch lift, you can comfortably fit 33-inch tyres (285/70R17 or 265/70R18) without rubbing under normal driving conditions, though some minor trimming may be required at full lock and compression. For 2-inch lift configurations, 32-inch tyres are recommended. Always check clearances at full steering lock and suspension compression before committing to larger tyres, and consider that heavily loaded vehicles will sit lower than unladen measurements.
The complete kit includes 2x Dobinsons MRA adjustable remote reservoir front shock absorbers, 2x heavy-duty front coil springs in your selected load rating, 2x Dobinsons monotube rear shock absorbers, and 2x heavy-duty rear coil springs in your selected load rating. All necessary mounting hardware for the remote reservoirs is included. Upper control arms, extended brake lines, and wheel alignment are not included and may be required depending on your lift height and vehicle configuration — contact us for a complete package quote if needed.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is excellent for towing when paired with correctly selected spring rates. The adjustable front shocks allow you to firm up the damping when towing to reduce nose-dive under braking and improve stability, while the progressive rate springs maintain load support without harsh unladen ride. The kit is suitable for towing up to 3500kg (Everest's maximum towing capacity) when springs are correctly matched to your constant front accessories. For frequent heavy towing or loads exceeding occasional use, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for additional support and level ride height adjustment.
For lifts up to 2.5 inches, factory control arms are generally acceptable, though upgraded arms will improve performance. At the full 3-inch lift height, aftermarket upper control arms are strongly recommended to correct castor angle, restore ball joint angles to safe operating ranges, and prevent CV joint and front diff binding. Upgraded control arms also provide additional track width adjustment and improved clearance for larger tyres. We can supply compatible control arms as part of a complete package — contact us for recommendations specific to your intended lift height and use case.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing any lift kit. Lifting your Everest changes suspension geometry including castor, camber, and toe settings which directly affect handling, tyre wear, and vehicle stability. Failure to align after installation will result in accelerated tyre wear (particularly on the inside edges), potential steering wander, and compromised braking performance. Book your alignment with a reputable 4WD specialist who understands lifted vehicle geometry and can adjust settings to manufacturer specifications or improved touring settings.
Yes, front and rear spring rates are selected independently based on your specific constant accessory loads. Front spring selection should account for bullbar weight (if fitted), winch, driving lights, and front storage or battery systems. Rear spring selection considers drawer systems, long-range tanks, dual batteries, and permanently mounted equipment — but not occasional camping gear or towing loads. During checkout you'll be prompted to specify constant loads for both front and rear, and we'll supply the appropriate spring rates. If you're unsure, contact us with your accessory list and we'll recommend the optimal spring combination for your setup.
With the 2-3 inch lift provided by this kit, you can fit up to 33-inch tyres (285/70R17 or 265/70R18 depending on rim size) without major modifications. Some minor trimming of plastic inner guard liner may be required at full steering lock, particularly if running wider offset wheels. The actual clearance depends on your rim width, offset, and whether you're running the full 3-inch lift or closer to 2 inches. Heavily loaded vehicles will sit lower and may experience rubbing that unladen vehicles don't. Always test full steering lock and suspension compression before committing to aggressive tyre sizing, and consider that larger tyres affect gearing and require speedo recalibration.
All Dobinsons suspension components are covered by comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Shocks typically carry a 2-year warranty while springs are covered for the life of the original purchaser under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage requires professional installation with proof of purchase, proper vehicle alignment post-installation, and adherence to load specifications. Damage caused by incorrect installation, overloading beyond vehicle GVM, or modifications to shock absorbers will void warranty. Keep all documentation and installation receipts for warranty claims.
This Dobinsons MRA kit is specifically designed to excel at both daily driving and serious off-road touring — you don't need to compromise. The adjustable front shocks allow you to run softer damping settings for comfortable highway cruising and urban commuting, then firm them up when heading off-road or towing. The progressive rate springs provide excellent unladen ride quality while maintaining load support when needed. Many Everest owners run this setup as a daily driver with occasional touring, appreciating the improved handling, reduced body roll, and commanding driving position without harsh ride penalties. The monotube design and quality components ensure long service life even under daily use conditions.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Everest
Had the Dobinsons MRA lift kit fitted to our Next Gen Everest before our last trip down the Victorian High Country and couldn't be happier with the result. The ride quality is noticeably smoother on corrugations compared to the factory suspension, and the kids actually mentioned how much more comfortable the drive was. Takes the loaded weight of our rooftop tent and camping gear without any dramas, and the extra clearance was brilliant on some of the rougher tracks we tackled.(5)
