I just got a AWD Hybrid, mounted 245/65 R17 Falkens, in a month I'm getting my Oru pop up camper, so my backend will probably squat about level with the front, so I'm thinking about a front and rear lift.

On a couple Wranglers and a Gladiator I did 2" lifts, the Wranglers with RC products and they rode pretty well.

In comparing lifts, is there a less invasive lift or do all of them risk messing up the CV jopints?
Anytime you change the factory geometry there's risk. I felt 2" wasn't enough to worry about, seeing how it's like running with stock suspension not even @ full droop

Thought I saw here. Someone saying the CV joints may have been revised for the 2025MY :muscle:

That would be great, anyone know for sure if that’s true?

Yeah, I don’t want to start rumors about the CV joints if not true, but I know for certain the CVT was hardened with “beefed up internals” from the 45 to the 55 series…or something like that. Definitely some good reasons to buy a 2025, even with the price increases.

the 2025 hybrid front axles are definitely different part numbers than the 22-24.

if anyone has had both axles in their hands, taken measurements and pics, I have not seen that. so, it's updated, but is it improved?

as a Parts person for the Ford dealer our catalog does not show a New p# for the 25 2.0L Eco boost Maverick only 2 different p#s regular axles & Tremor axels

Now there is a new p# for the hybrid AWD and 2WD Maverick for 25 that is different than 22-24 axles. p# is the same for 2wd and AWD

Do you have access for specs for those parts?

I have the AWD Hybrid.

are you not concerned about warrany with the lift. I realize you probably have an in what with being employee-but.

For the 2.0L ecoboost they are the same p# from 25-22. 25 hybrid has its own p# cause it's first year for AWD Hybrid. But if I ever do I'll report back
No it has its own part number because it’s different from ecoboost and always has been. Has nothing to do with AWD in 2025.

The 2025s have the upgraded axles (part #) because the old axles were failing at a high rate.

It is longer - we know that. Doubtful it is “beefier” or thicker and doubtful it uses the same internals that the Tremor has.

Because 🤔 the Hybrid is always gonna get better mileage than the ecoboost with the same mods, apples to apples
Id say not apples to apples because it will be harder for you to maintain electric while accelerating pushing all of that extra wheel and tire weight.

I bet you’ll struggle to get over 30mpg with your set up.

Looks like the Kenda's weigh 35.29lbs each, assuming they're not the LT versions- which seem to be 6lbs heavier...how much do the stockers weight? If they're 5lbs per corner heavier, might not be such a big hit, although airflow/drag with the lift might eat another 1mpg. I'd guesstimate he'll still average 32/33 mpg after the first oil change...depending on city/highway mile ratio.

im barely pulling 32/33 on the stock Goodyears. He’s increased surface area of the tire around 10%, tire weight by 15%, increased rolling resistance with an aggressive tread, and hurt aero by lifting it.

30 would be good for OP.

I am not,
See here in Arkansas we have laws that make manufacturers pay the same mark up as retail. So I know, Our dealership would rather do warranty work than customer pay🤔
We dont turn poeple away for sucha a small lift or level kit, which is common place here on almost all trucks. 2" shouldn't make a difference on the CV axles, if they are gonna fail, then they where already gonna fail from poor design you turn your wheels in more variation than that. The original suspension already cycles more than 2". Worst case I can change my own parts if need be, I have a shop and lift @ home.
