ROTFLMAO, just WOW
I rented Wrangler a couple years back while visiting Florida, just to understand the Jeep hype. Not my thing, bu-u-u-t, I can understand how it can be someone else's! Good for you, carrying out your dream, that's what life is about!
That was age 39-46. I was much more interested in doing trails that are so difficult that deaths were known to happen on them, like Cadillac hill, Rubicon trail or Moab Rim trail.ROTFLMAO, just WOW
How are the Mabbett flare fenders holding up? I heard possible paint damage or them cracking off at highway speeds?I just purchased my wife a 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD in Eruption Green and she wanted it a little lifted
I installed the rough country 2" (even though it says it doesn't fit a hybrid)
I work in parts @ the Ford Dealer, and all the parts that matter are the same between the 2 (Hybrid and non).
I also added 245/70R17 Kenda Klever AT2s, Mabett fender flares, and splash decal.
Thought it turned out pretty good!
I'm seriously considering them as well, missed them last week on Amazon for $126.99....sigh, waiting for them to lower in price again. Probably going to use some black silicone to help adhere.
I'm in the same boat with my truck I daily sometimes 96 F150 EFI 429ci with granny 4 speed on 37sMy JK Wrangler got 8 city and 13 highway. That was with the 3.6L 4 valve Pentastar engine., which is pretty modern and efficient.
The tires were 88 lbs and wheels were 22 lbs, so 110 lbs at each corner. Bias ply. How did I do it? By not driving it daily.
No problems yet, but I put those kind of things on alot @ work. And you have to have have a very clean surface. Surface and air temp have to be be above 60ish degrees before applying. I don't forsee a paint problem either
It will absolutely ride different than just using the spacers.
useful prior discussion here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/spacer-lift-vs-spring-lift.2060/
There is no substitute for boggers. I do wish there was a Irok ND or something that would fit our Mavericks. It's a shame that 17s are the smallest wheel we can get.My JK Wrangler got 8 city and 13 highway. That was with the 3.6L 4 valve Pentastar engine., which is pretty modern and efficient.

If anything it would be a softer ride, but I'm not a fan of their shocks & struts.

Flat Out has a few suspensions kits. I’m assuming you went apples to apples and not looked at some of their higher end options?If anything it would be a softer ride, but I'm not a fan of their shocks & struts.
Adding the spacers basically increases the spring rate(shoving the spring into a smaller space) so it has a slightly harsher ride.
Flat out offers a heavier rear springs with their kit upon request

I was gonna buy their kit cause it says it fits AWD hybrid. but when I got to looking at it, It has the same parts for the front as the Rough Country with the exception of the FRT swaybar end-links. & the rear was just coil springs & adjusters, Instead of the spring spacers
I was talking about flatout's lowest priced option.
Are the coils out back softer than the OEM springs?My 2025 Lariat with Flatout Suspension 2” lift, FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T4W 245 /65 R17, SPARCO GRAVEL wheels
Somewhere way down the line I’ll toss a FO kit on mine.
