Saw this and thought it looked kinda cool with a 2" level. Although...255/75/17's Yoko MT's are going to kill the MPG's...which is the whole purpose for having a car-truck.

The problem is if he raised the body in the front above the normal riding height. There are now a few cases on the forums where the half shafts are leaking from the added stress and Ford dealers are baulking at covering the service repairs. If it was a Ford lift kit (if they even make one) they would probably be okay but an aftermarket one and I can see Ford dealers having issues covering any work.

I think it's a bit much.
Definitely in the front. Just looks weird with that much of a height increase. I mean, it isn't horrible, but it isn't great, either.

I almost feel like if you're doing something to the maverick suspension,it'd be a drop.
I agree. With this truck dropping it a bit does enhance the overall appearance a bit.

I have seen the Maverick Tremor in person, and it is actually not bad. Looks much better than the FX4 version since it sits taller and has more aggressive tires. The AWD system in the Tremor is basically borrowed from the Focus RS, so it's really good.

But... I looked at getting one for the wife that MSRP'ed for a little over $36K, and the dealer had it marked up to over $43K. No thank you!

Interesting... The Mav in the first post is just leveled with tires stuffed under it.
I ran into another thread where a guy is building one for actual prerunning.
He has built a bunch of other stuff and is applying that knowledge to his Maverick.
It will be interesting to see if he can build something truly trail capable while still maintaining 20 mpg. (his goal was to not have to use his fullsize Bronco)
(this is beyond the average guy...he is doing things like building his own control arms with uniball so he can achieve more droop)

His tow rig is a Centurion with 400K...so he can't be all bad! lol....
