Hello Everyone, I have a question regarding upgrading my Everest suspension. I own a 2017 Everest Titanium and have enjoyed a couple of years taking the family out on holidays off the beaten path. The Everest is all stock including the standard Titanium packaged 20' rims, so as you can imagine we never stray too far off the beaten path. I'd like to change that this year by upgrading the suspension and the rims and tyers but have no idea on the brands and types available in the market. Would love to hear from those who have aftermarket kits and their thoughts.

Would love to hear from those who have aftermarket kits and their thoughts. I only go on sand and general off-road - no hard core. I use: - king springs (25mm lift) and bilsteins - arb bash and recovery point - standard trend 18” and tyres which would not survive in hardcore. You might consider: - if doing tyres just increase the rolling diameter 25mm rather than paying for suspension - lots of lift still is constrained by diff clearance. Cheers

Hey mate, on my trend i have a dobinsons 2" lift, pedders UCA's, stock 18"rims with 285/65/18 BFG KO2 tyres and a fabulous fabrication snorkel. I have done some pretty full on tracks and never had an issue. Only other thing i would suggest is UVP which i am planing on getting shortly. Been waiting for Bushskinz alloy protection to be released. Its just as strong as steel but 20kg lighter.

The paint on the ARB UVP was scraped after the first trip with rust steaks soon after. There’s also likely a weight saving.

It is half the weight of their steel version.Bushskinz are also in the process of developing fuel tank and adblue protection. I have just sent an email to Bushskinz to see how far off it is so will let you know. I didnt even think of adblue protection until one of my mates smashed his adblue tank on a rock and had to be towed home.

Hi, I have just had Outback Armour suspension install on my 2016 Trend. Lifted it up just over 60mm and the improvement is remarkable we have 18km of corrugated dirt road before we hit the black top and it was a painful trip before the suspension upgrade. Went with the performance shocks, expedition front springs (medium) and trail rear (light/100kg heavier than stock spring). The kit come with pre assembled struts and extended bump stops.
