The Dobinsons MRA Monotube Remote Reservoir Lift Kit suits the Ford Everest UA and UA II (2015-ON) and delivers a 2" to 3" lift with externally adjustable remote-reservoir monotube shocks front and rear. The separate oil reservoir keeps damping fluid cooler on long touring runs and under constant tow load, while the rebuildable shock body means a specialist can reseal or revalve it down the track instead of replacing the whole unit. Vehicle-specific coil springs are available to match your accessory load, from bull bars to winches, so the front and rear sit level. Paired with our coil spring range, this kit ships from Australian stock with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Every shock in this kit is drawn from our shock absorber range, so replacement parts and rebuild kits are easy to source later.

Lift height compliance: Suspension lifts of this size may exceed your state's allowable limit without engineering certification. Check your state's light vehicle modification rules (VSB14/NCOP) before fitting.
Choose your front coil spring rate based on the weight of a bull bar, winch and driving lights, and your rear rate based on the combined weight of a canopy, drawers, water tanks, fridge and camper or caravan tow-ball load. A vehicle running heavier constant accessories needs a firmer rated spring to hold ride height and keep the shock working in its ideal travel range; a lighter, unladen tourer suits a softer rate for comfort. If you're unsure which rate suits your build, tell us your accessory list and we'll match a spring rate for you.
This kit is best fitted by an experienced 4WD suspension installer or a mechanically confident DIYer with the correct tools, as coil spring compression and shock torque specs need to be followed accurately. A wheel alignment is mandatory once the kit is fitted, since ride height and suspension geometry change with the lift. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the coil springs to settle to their final ride height before final alignment checks. Many Everest owners pair this kit with upgraded control arms to correct control arm angles and CV joint operating angles at the raised height.
Dobinsons has built 4WD suspension for Australian conditions for decades, and the MRA shock range is designed around remote reservoir technology used across their touring and adjustable shock lines. Kits are backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported locally through our fitment team, so you're not left chasing an overseas supplier for parts advice. Tradespeople and long-distance tourers running the Everest for work and touring both rely on the Dobinsons name — view the full Dobinsons range to see the rest of the lineup.
This kit suits Everest owners who tow a caravan, carry a canopy and drawer system for work, or run a rooftop tent and long-range fuel and water for touring. If your accessory load varies trip to trip rather than sitting constant, an airbag suspension setup added to the rear coils can give you adjustable load support on top of this kit's fixed spring rate.
This Dobinsons MRA kit is in stock in Australia and ready to dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm spring rates and fitment for your exact Everest build. Browse our full lift kit range to compare options before you order.

Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is built for the Ford Everest UA (2015-2018) and UA II (2018-ON), covering the 2.2L TDCi, 3.2L TDCi and 2.0L Bi-Turbo variants. Coil springs and shock lengths are matched to the Everest's factory mounting points, not a universal fit. If you're unsure which series you have, check your compliance plate or contact our team with your build date before ordering.
This kit provides a 2" to 3" lift over standard ride height, using vehicle-specific coil springs front and rear rather than spacers. The exact height within that range depends on the coil spring rate you select and the constant accessory weight carried on the vehicle. A heavier front bar or rear canopy load will sit slightly lower in the range until the springs settle.
Please note that all assembled struts are dispatched at a height based on our experience and the manufacturer’s specifications for the advertised lift. Coil springs and leaf springs are also manufactured according to the advertised height and constant-load rating. Actual vehicle height may vary depending on the vehicle and the weight of fitted accessories. Further adjustment may therefore be required after installation. The installer may use coil spacers or adjust the struts at their discretion to achieve the desired height. We are not responsible for vehicle-specific height variations or any additional adjustments required after installation.
The kit includes two front and two rear Dobinsons MRA monotube remote reservoir shock absorbers, matched front and rear coil springs, remote reservoir mounting hardware, shock bushes and sleeves. Upper and lower control arms are not included and are sold separately if your build needs them. A full parts list is shown in the Kit Includes section on this page.
Yes, the remote reservoir design is specifically useful for towing because the extra fluid volume helps the shock resist heat build-up over long tow trips. Choose a firmer rear coil spring rate to match your tow-ball download and any rear accessories, so the vehicle doesn't sag under constant load. Our team can help you pick the right rear spring rate based on your caravan or trailer weight.
At a 2" lift many Everest owners run factory control arms without issue, but at the full 3" end of the range, upgraded control arms are worth fitting to correct CV joint and control arm operating angles. Aftermarket control arms also allow more front travel and reduce strain on bushes at the raised height. Speak with our fitment team about your planned lift height before deciding.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit because the lift changes camber, caster and toe from factory settings. Skipping alignment leads to uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel and stability. We recommend an alignment straight after fitting and again after the 500km bedding-in period once the springs have settled.
Yes, Dobinsons offers this MRA kit with multiple front and rear coil spring rate options for the Everest, so you can match the rate to your bull bar, winch, canopy or drawer weight. A heavier constant load needs a firmer spring to hold ride height and keep the shock in its correct travel range. Tell us your accessory list and we'll recommend a spring rate to suit.
The extra 2" to 3" of ride height and clearance created by this kit generally allows for a larger diameter tyre than standard, but exact clearance depends on your wheel offset and tyre width. We recommend checking your specific wheel and tyre combination with our team before purchasing tyres, particularly if you're also running a larger offset wheel.
This kit is covered by a Dobinsons manufacturer warranty against faulty materials and workmanship. Our team can confirm the current warranty terms and process for your specific components at the time of purchase. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date, as these are required for any warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed to keep the Everest's on-road manners intact while adding lift and load capacity, rather than being a purely off-road setup. The externally adjustable damping lets you dial in a firmer setting for touring or a softer setting for everyday unladen driving. Most owners run it as their daily setup and simply adjust damping before a big tow or touring trip.
