Product Specification Aftermarket 4WD suspension is extremely complex. Determining the right solution for your vehicle and your requirements demands special attention to many factors. Unlike numerous aftermarket suspension systems, which are only available in a single configuration targeting lift height, OME offers a range of tuned and matched integrated suspension systems to ensure the right suspension is available to suit how the vehicle is outfitted and the conditions it will encounter.

Design & Development: The Everest consists of an independent front suspension system whereas the rear suspension system consists of a solid rear axle with a Watts link and coil springs. Throughout the development of this vehicle, OME considered three main areas; lift, load carrying and comfort.

OME Suspension System - Ford Everest 2015 on

The front system damper tune and strut design was adopted from the existing Ranger model however the rear has been tuned and designed due to the nature of the coil springs. The rear has been specifically tuned to operate in balance with the current front Ranger range. The rear coils and dampers were designed and tuned to work in unison with each in order to achieve a comfortable but controlled ride. The engineers at OME have placed a particular emphasis on comfort with respect to the Everest without comprising performance. The front and rear ride heights were elevated to approximately 40mm. Front Suspension: Springs: Three spring options were chosen to cater for the front, No Bar, Bar, Bar/Winch vehicle setups. Trim packers have been developed to assist in fine tuning ride height that may be caused by various accessory fitments. Struts: An extensive development and tuning project was undertaken to correctly match the ride quality to the spring rate and extra time was spent to balance the level of control vs. comfort. Rear Suspension: Springs: A 40mm lift was achieved after considering the travel conditions of the Watts link. The OME engineers have developed a range of 2 springs to improve ride quality and cater for different loading options. With rates being higher than OE, these springs have a higher load carrying capability while still remaining comfortable on long off road trips. Both OME rear spring options for the Everest are progressive in rate to provide comfort but not compromise control in high speed vehicle manoeuvres. The nature of the OME Everest progressive rate is achieved by a change in pitch throughout the length of the coil. Medium loads (0kg to GVM, optimal performance at loads of 0-200kgs) Constant 200kg (200kg to GVM, optimal performance at loads of 200-600kgs) Shock Absorbers: To provide comfort, control and to cater for the two spring options, two newly tuned and matched shock absorbers were developed. Primarily the medium shock absorber (60144) was designed around comfort but a high level of control was still achieved. The heavier shock (60145) was designed with the same objective but with a significant increase in control to allow for the heavier spring option. The rear shock assembly incorporates the original Ford forged aluminium bracket and bump stops. A new lower bush with reducers has also been designed to fit with the OE Everest clevis tab.
