Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and load-carrying performance. Dobinsons coil springs are available in multiple load ratings to match your constant accessory weight — this means accessories fitted to your vehicle 90% of the time, not occasional loads. Common front accessories include bull bars, winches, steel bumpers, driving lights, and upgraded batteries. Common rear accessories include dual battery systems, drawer systems, second fuel tanks, water tanks, canopies, roof racks with RTTs, and rear bars. Do not select heavier spring rates based on occasional towing or camping loads — this will result in a harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components. If you frequently carry heavy loads, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension for adjustable load support without compromising unladen ride quality.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD mechanic or experienced DIY installer is recommended. This kit is a direct bolt-in replacement requiring no modifications to the Ford Everest, though some models may benefit from upgraded control arms to correct castor angles and maintain steering geometry after lifting. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering angles, tire wear patterns, and vehicle handling. Dobinsons recommends a 500km break-in period where springs will settle and shocks will bed-in — final ride height and damping characteristics will be achieved after this period. Extended brake lines and differential drop kits may be required depending on final lift height and your Everest's variant — consult with your installer before purchase.

This kit is specifically designed to fit Ford Everest models from 2015 onwards, including both the original UA series (2015-2018) and the updated UA II series (2018-current). It suits all engine variants including the 2.0L and 3.2L diesel engines. The kit is a direct bolt-in replacement using factory mounting points with no modifications required. If you have a modified Everest or are unsure about your specific variant, use our Ford Everest parts finder or contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
Lift height achieved depends on the spring rate selected and your vehicle's constant accessory weight. Most Ford Everest owners can expect between 30-50mm of lift at the front and rear when correctly matched to their load. Heavier constant loads (bull bar, winch, drawer systems) will compress springs more, resulting in less net lift, while lighter setups will sit higher. Final ride height is achieved after a 500km settling period. The primary goal of this kit is to restore or improve load-carrying capability and ride quality rather than maximum lift — if you need more height, contact us about custom spring options.
The complete kit includes 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas front shock absorbers, 2 x Dobinsons front coil springs, 2 x Dobinsons Nitro Gas rear shock absorbers, and 2 x Dobinsons rear coil springs. All shocks come with pre-installed natural rubber bushings and steel dust covers where applicable. This is a direct bolt-in kit using factory mounting points. Note that upper control arms, extended brake lines, diff drop kits, and wheel alignment are not included but may be required depending on your Everest variant and final lift height achieved.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing applications. The Dobinsons Nitro Gas shocks feature larger body sizes, increased oil capacity, and vehicle-specific valving that significantly improves control and reduces sway when towing caravans, camper trailers, or heavy trailers. The matched coil springs provide superior load support compared to factory suspension, reducing rear-end squat and maintaining level vehicle stance under tow ball weight. For maximum towing performance and adjustability, consider pairing this kit with airbag suspension which allows you to fine-tune rear height and firmness based on tow ball weight and load distribution.
Upper control arms are not always required but are highly recommended to correct castor and camber angles after lifting, especially if you achieve more than 40mm of lift. Upgraded control arms restore correct steering geometry, reduce tire wear, improve highway stability, and allow for proper wheel alignment. Many Ford Everest owners choose to install adjustable upper control arms at the same time as the lift kit to maximize the benefits and ensure safe, predictable handling. Contact our team to discuss whether your specific build requires control arm upgrades based on your lift height and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Ford Everest. Changing suspension height alters castor, camber, and toe angles which directly affect steering feel, tire wear patterns, highway stability, and braking performance. A qualified alignment shop should perform the alignment after installation and the 500km settling period to ensure all angles are within Ford's specifications (or adjusted optimally if using aftermarket control arms). Skipping wheel alignment can result in premature tire wear, poor handling, and unsafe driving characteristics.
Yes, Dobinsons coil springs are available in multiple load ratings for both front and rear to match your specific constant accessory weight. When ordering, you'll select front spring rate based on front accessories (bull bar, winch, upgraded batteries, etc.) and rear spring rate based on rear accessories (drawer systems, dual batteries, canopy, water tanks, etc.). It's critical to select spring rates based only on constant loads fitted 90% of the time — not occasional camping gear or towing loads. Our team can help you calculate your accessory weights and recommend the correct spring combination for optimal ride quality and load support.
This lift kit will provide additional clearance for slightly larger tyres on your Ford Everest, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and suspension articulation. Most Everest owners can comfortably fit 265/65R18 or 265/70R17 tyres after a 40-50mm lift without rubbing during normal driving. Larger sizes may require minor trimming, wheel spacers, or further suspension modifications. Keep in mind that tyre size increases affect gearing, speedometer accuracy, and fuel economy. We recommend test-fitting tyres at full lock and compression before final installation, and ensuring your wheel alignment accounts for the new tyre diameter.
All Dobinsons Nitro Gas shock absorbers and coil springs are covered by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty coverage varies by component — shock absorbers typically carry a 2-year warranty while coil springs carry a lifetime warranty against sagging or breakage under normal use. Warranty claims are handled directly through 4WD Suspension Australia with support from Dobinsons' Australian head office. To maintain warranty coverage, the kit must be professionally installed, used within rated load limits, and not modified or damaged through misuse or accident.
Absolutely — the Dobinsons Nitro Gas kit is designed to excel in both daily driving and off-road touring conditions. The twin-tube gas shock technology with vehicle-specific valving provides a comfortable, controlled ride on sealed roads while dramatically improving handling over corrugations, gravel, and rough tracks. Unlike cheap lift kits that sacrifice on-road comfort for off-road capability, Dobinsons engineering ensures balanced performance across all driving conditions. Many Ford Everest owners report improved ride quality compared to worn factory shocks, with better body control, reduced harshness over bumps, and more predictable handling when loaded or towing.
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Finally bit the bullet and got the Dobinsons lift kit fitted to our Everest before our trip up to the Flinders Ranges, and what a difference it's made. The ride quality is noticeably better on corrugations, and the extra clearance gave us confidence on some of the rougher tracks we tackled. Even loaded up with all the camping gear, recovery boards, and the kids' stuff, it handles beautifully and doesn't sag like the old setup did.(5)
Perfect Setup for Work and Weekends
Had the Dobinsons lift kit fitted to my 2017 Everest about three months back and it's been brilliant for carting tools and materials around site during the week, then heading out bush on weekends. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock, especially when loaded up with gear or towing the camper trailer. Well worth the money for a proper Australian-engineered setup that can handle our conditions.(5)
Solid Setup for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Dobinsons nitro gas lift kit on my Everest for 18 months now, including two trips through the Simpson and countless corrugated outback tracks. The matched springs and shocks handle a loaded setup brilliantly – no more bottoming out with gear, water and long-range tanks fitted. Ride quality on washboard is noticeably better than the old setup, and it's holding up perfectly in the harsh conditions out here.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Camping Rig
Fitted this Dobinsons lift kit to our Everest before our recent trip through the Flinders Ranges and the difference was night and day. The ride quality is so much better loaded up with kids, camping gear and the roof topper, and it handled the corrugations beautifully. Really impressed with how well-matched the springs and shocks are – no more bottoming out on our favourite tracks.(5)
