While these struts are designed to work with factory springs, selecting the correct spring rate when upgrading is critical for optimal performance based on your constant accessory load. Front accessories that affect spring selection include bullbars, winches, upgraded battery systems, auxiliary lighting, and communication equipment. For vehicles carrying substantial front-end weight from aftermarket accessories, consider matching these struts with appropriately rated coil springs to maintain correct ride height and damping performance.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended due to the safety-critical nature of strut replacement and the requirement for spring compression equipment. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for seals to properly seat and suspension components to settle before making any handling assessments. For vehicles with significant modifications or lift, consider pairing these struts with upgraded control arms to maintain optimal suspension geometry and maximize component lifespan.
Toughdog has earned its reputation as Australia's number one suspension brand through decades of proven performance across the country's harshest conditions.

These Toughdog Front Foam Cell Struts are specifically engineered for Ford Everest Next-Gen models from 2023 onwards, including both 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 Turbo engine variants. They are designed as direct OE replacements using factory mounting points for bolt-in fitment without modifications. The struts fit all Next-Gen Everest trim levels including Ambiente, Trend, Sport, and Platinum. If you're unsure about your specific model year or variant, our technical team can verify fitment using your VIN number to ensure compatibility.
These Toughdog foam cell struts are designed as performance replacement struts rather than lift struts, meaning they maintain factory ride height while significantly improving damping performance and ride quality. They are engineered to work with factory springs or can be paired with aftermarket raised coil springs if you're seeking additional height. If you're looking to achieve lift, we recommend combining these struts with appropriately rated raised coil springs to achieve your desired height while maintaining optimal suspension geometry. Contact our team to discuss complete lift kit options for your Everest Next-Gen.
This kit includes a precision-matched pair of Toughdog Front Foam Cell Struts for both left and right sides of your Ford Everest Next-Gen, along with all necessary mounting hardware for installation. The struts come complete with installation instructions and warranty documentation to ensure proper fitment and coverage. Note that rear shock absorbers are sold separately, and a spring compressor tool is required for safe installation. The struts are designed as assembled units ready to install once springs are transferred from your existing struts or new springs are fitted.
Yes, these Toughdog foam cell struts are specifically engineered to handle the increased demands of towing caravans, trailers, and boats with your Ford Everest Next-Gen. The advanced foam cell technology and large bore design provide consistent damping performance under load, improving stability and control when towing. The struts work effectively with the Everest's factory tow rating, helping to manage front-end weight distribution and maintain steering control during towing operations. For optimal towing performance with heavy rear loads, consider pairing these front struts with rear airbags or heavy-duty rear shocks to maintain level stance.
Control arm upgrades are not required when installing these struts at factory ride height, as they are designed to work within the Everest's standard suspension geometry. However, if you're combining these struts with raised coil springs to achieve lift, upgraded control arms become important to correct camber angles and maintain proper suspension alignment. Control arms also provide additional benefits including improved articulation, adjustable caster settings, and enhanced durability with heavy-duty bushings. Our suspension specialists can assess your complete setup and recommend whether control arms would benefit your specific application and intended use.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installing these front struts to ensure correct steering geometry, optimal tyre wear, and proper handling characteristics. Even though the struts maintain factory ride height, the installation process involves disconnecting steering and suspension components which can affect alignment settings. A professional alignment ensures camber, caster, and toe angles are set to manufacturer specifications or adjusted for your specific setup. This not only prevents premature tyre wear but also ensures your Everest handles safely and predictably on both highway and off-road conditions.
While these struts are designed to work optimally with factory spring rates, they can accommodate a range of upgraded coil springs if you need to support additional constant accessory weight. When selecting springs, consider your typical front-end load including bullbars, winches, battery systems, and auxiliary equipment to determine the appropriate spring rate. Toughdog and other quality brands offer various spring rate options specifically for the Everest Next-Gen platform. Our team can help calculate your front accessory weight and recommend springs that will maintain correct ride height while working perfectly with these foam cell struts for balanced performance.
These struts alone maintain factory ride height and therefore do not provide additional clearance for larger tyres beyond what your Everest Next-Gen accommodates from the factory. To fit significantly larger tyres, you would need to combine these struts with raised coil springs to achieve the necessary lift for increased clearance. The Next-Gen Everest typically accommodates modest tyre size increases without lift, but anything beyond 265-275mm width or 32-inch diameter generally requires suspension lift. If increasing tyre size is your goal, consult with our team about complete lift kit options that pair these quality struts with appropriate raised springs and any necessary modifications.
These Toughdog Front Foam Cell Struts are backed by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage applies when the struts are installed by a qualified professional and used within their designed parameters on the specified Ford Everest Next-Gen application. Warranty claims are handled directly through 4WD Suspension Australia with full support from Toughdog's Australian warranty team. To maintain warranty coverage, retain your proof of purchase and ensure installation is completed according to manufacturer specifications with proper wheel alignment performed after fitment.
Absolutely, these Toughdog foam cell struts are specifically tuned to deliver excellent daily driving comfort while maintaining the capability for off-road adventures when needed. The foam cell technology provides superior ride quality over standard gas shocks, effectively absorbing road imperfections, speed bumps, and corrugations without harshness. On highways, they provide stable, controlled damping that reduces body roll and improves steering response during lane changes and cornering. The balanced valving means you don't sacrifice on-road comfort for off-road capability, making them ideal for the Everest's dual-purpose nature as both a family SUV and capable tourer.
