Lifted Ford Maverick short update
Just a quick life update living with the 2" level lift. Overall I couldn't be happier. Works for my needs right now and fits in the garage! I did film a couple clips of bulb replacements. Haven't edited yet. If you're waiting on a Maverick to deliver, it's worth the wait!

Badass Maverick. Cactus Gray is the best color for these!
Thank you for making this!
Looks nice

Just threw on a Thule roof rack and bike racks. Gives it a lot more personality. I'll film it soon. Thanks.
Love the truck I have a 1970 ford maverick might add a truck to the collection
Thanks

I hope Ford doesn't get any ideas and dealers start selling nothing but lifted Mavericks. One of the selling points of the Maverick is elderly passengers don't need a step ladder. Let it remain after market

@@keganmowery4223 no it wont. Not in a million years the maverick will have a true 4wd transfercase. Ranger or fseries are the true trucks from Ford. Maverick 4wd would mean ditching the entirety of the driveline. You do realize the maverick is a grocery getter pickup for the city for people who dont have the need to go offroad. Why else would it be front wheel drive based off the ford escape crossover?

@@beexiong2995 haha this comment didn’t age well my friend. Tremor Maverick coming soon with advanced awd and off road capability and less tow capacity. Ford knows to not box themselves into one demographic. This truck will have multiple performance, off road, hybrid, and full electric options over the next decade. You can count on it. This will fund fords ev aspirations and they know it.

How does the suspension feel with the 2 inch pucks? I have 1 inch level for the front and you can definitely feel the spacers it's sitting on through dips. How does yours feel with having the spacers all the way around? That was my main concern and was waiting for an actual spring set up

Honestly feels the same to me. Still comfy over bumps. Had Ford do the four wheel alignment. Drives straight like factory. Just lost a tiny bit of turn radius. The rear geometry is the same because the sub frame is dropped an inch and trailing arms are dropped just over an inch.

@@keganmowery4223 interesting. Glad your enjoying it. My shop did a stellar job installing and alignment have 0 issues with pull and drives great but can most definitely feel the spacers at times over big dips. Now that the suspension is laying on the pucks absorbing the impact you can feel slight clunkiness. Definitely noticeable when being compared to no spacers. Surprised you don't notice that now that the whole body of your truck is laying on the spacers front and back.

Been thinking about it. 30mm spacers would clear the studs. I expect the tires would hit the outside bottom corners of the fender lips though. Custom Offsets makes spacers to order. I'll make a video if I do pick up a set.
