Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality and suspension performance. Calculate your constant load by weighing all permanently installed accessories - this includes bull bars, winches, roof racks, roof-top tents, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, and communication equipment. Do not include variable loads such as camping gear, passengers, or towing weight in your calculation. Front constant loads typically include bull bars (30-60kg), winches (30-40kg), upgraded batteries (15-25kg), and roof rack systems (20-40kg). Rear constant loads commonly include drawer systems (60-120kg), dual battery setups (20-30kg), long-range tanks (25-35kg empty weight), and roof-top tents (50-80kg). If your total constant accessories weigh 85kg, select the 0-100kg spring rate - choosing springs that are too stiff will result in harsh ride quality and reduced traction, while springs that are too soft will cause excessive sag and potential suspension damage.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, safety compliance, and warranty validation. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to prevent premature tire wear and ensure optimal handling characteristics - camber, caster, and toe settings must all be checked and adjusted to manufacturer specifications. All Tough Dog suspension systems require a 500km break-in period during which springs will settle to their final height and shock absorbers will bed in - avoid harsh off-road use, heavy loads, and aggressive driving during this critical settling phase. For vehicles receiving 40mm+ lift or those used for serious touring, consider pairing this kit with upgraded suspension components such as extended brake lines, diff drop kits, or adjustable panhard rods to maintain factory geometry and maximize performance.
Toughdog has been Australia's most trusted suspension brand for decades, with every component designed, engineered, and extensively tested in the harshest outback conditions our continent can deliver. Unlike imported alternatives designed for European or American conditions, Tough Dog suspension is purpose-built for corrugations, bulldust, extreme heat, remote touring, and the unique load requirements of Australian 4WD enthusiasts. Backed by comprehensive Australian warranty coverage, nationwide dealer network support, and proven performance in everything from Cape York to the Simpson Desert, Toughdog delivers unmatched reliability for serious tourers, tradespeople, and weekend adventurers. Explore the complete Toughdog suspension range to discover why thousands of Australian 4WD owners choose Tough Dog for their most demanding applications.
This Tough Dog lift kit is engineered for Ford Everest owners who demand more from their vehicle - tradespeople who carry heavy tools and equipment daily, adventure tourers planning extended outback expeditions with camping gear and recovery equipment, and families who regularly tow caravans or camper trailers at capacity. It's the ideal solution for correcting factory sag caused by aftermarket accessories, restoring safe ride height and headlight geometry, and providing headroom for future upgrades. Whether you're fitting a roof-top tent and touring setup, upgrading to larger all-terrain tires, or simply want improved ground clearance for beach and track work, this complete suspension system delivers the performance and reliability you need.

This kit is specifically engineered to fit all Ford Everest UA (Series 1) models from 2015-2018 and UA II (Series 2) models from 2018-current, covering both 3.2L Duratorq five-cylinder diesel and 2.0L Bi-Turbo four-cylinder diesel engine variants. The kit is a direct replacement for factory suspension components and requires no modifications for fitment on standard wheelbase Everest models. Always verify your exact model series and manufacturing date using your vehicle compliance plate, and if you're unsure about compatibility with a specific variant or have a modified vehicle, contact our technical team for confirmation before ordering.
This Tough Dog lift kit typically delivers 30-50mm of increased ride height depending on your current vehicle load, selected spring rates, and existing suspension condition. Vehicles suffering from factory sag or carrying heavy constant accessories will see greater height gains as the new springs restore proper geometry. Final lift height is achieved after the mandatory 500km break-in period when springs have fully settled and compressed to their working height. Keep in mind this kit is designed primarily for load correction, improved capability, and geometry restoration rather than maximum lift height - if extreme lift is your goal, additional modifications may be required.
This complete kit includes four Tough Dog shock absorbers (two front, two rear) in your choice of Foam Cell, Nitro Gas, or Adjustable specification, plus four heavy-duty raised coil springs (two front, two rear) with your selected load ratings. All necessary mounting hardware, bushes, and installation instructions are included in the package. Note that some installations may require additional components such as extended brake lines, upper control arms, or chassis protection items depending on your final lift height and intended use - these are sold separately and can be added to your order if required for your specific application.
Yes, this kit is excellent for towing applications and dramatically improves towing stability and safety compared to factory suspension, especially when towing at or near your Everest's maximum rated capacity. The heavy-duty raised springs significantly reduce rear squat when hitched up, maintaining proper ride height, headlight aim, and weight distribution across all axles. However, this suspension kit does not increase your vehicle's maximum towing capacity, GVM, or GCM - these limits are set by Ford and determined by braking system capacity, drivetrain strength, and chassis engineering. Always adhere to the towing limits shown on your vehicle's compliance plate regardless of suspension upgrades fitted.
For most Ford Everest applications receiving 30-40mm of lift, factory control arms will continue to function adequately, though upgraded arms are beneficial for optimal geometry. If you're achieving 45-50mm+ of lift height or plan serious off-road use with maximum suspension articulation, aftermarket adjustable upper control arms are highly recommended to correct camber angles and restore proper ball joint geometry. Upgraded control arms also allow precise alignment adjustment and can increase suspension travel capability. Many experienced tourers and serious off-road enthusiasts choose to install upgraded arms at the same time as the lift kit to maximize performance and tire life from day one.
Yes, professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any suspension lift kit and is critical for safety, handling, and tire longevity. Lifting your Everest changes camber, caster, and toe angles across all wheels, and these must be measured and adjusted back to specification using specialized alignment equipment. Driving on misaligned suspension will cause rapid and uneven tire wear, reduced braking performance, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues. Book your alignment with a workshop experienced in 4WD suspension work, and have the alignment rechecked after the 500km break-in period once springs have fully settled to their final working height.
Select your spring rate based exclusively on the total weight of constant accessories permanently installed in or on your vehicle - items that are always present regardless of whether you're touring or daily driving. Calculate front constant load by adding bull bar, winch, upgraded battery, and any front-mounted accessories, then select the spring range that encompasses that total weight. Calculate rear constant load separately by totaling drawer systems, rear bar, spare tire carrier weight beyond factory, dual battery, water tanks (empty), and roof-top tent weight. Do not include variable loads like camping gear, passengers, firewood, or towing weight in your spring selection - choosing springs that are too heavy will result in harsh, uncomfortable ride quality on normal roads.
The 30-50mm of lift provided by this kit will allow modest tire size increases on most Ford Everest models, typically accommodating tires up to 265/70R17 or 265/65R18 (depending on wheel size) without rubbing during normal driving. However, tire fitment depends on multiple factors including wheel offset, tire brand and tread pattern, suspension compression and articulation, and whether you've installed aftermarket bull bars or other front-end accessories. For serious off-road use with full suspension compression and steering lock, minor trimming of plastic inner guards may be required even with modestly oversized tires. Always test fit and conduct full lock and compression tests before committing to new tires, and consider that larger, heavier tires will affect your constant load calculation for spring selection.

Proper Setup for Serious Remote Touring
Been running this Tough Dog lift kit on my Everest for six months now through the Simpson Desert and Cape York, and it's handled the corrugations and constant loaded weight brilliantly. The ride quality is noticeably better than stock even with a full touring setup, and the adjustable spring rates meant I could dial it in perfectly for my drawer system and roof rack. Installation was straightforward with all the hardware included, and the shocks are still performing like new after some pretty harsh punishment on the Gibb River Road.(5)
