If you have a spacer lift, you NEED these Shock Extenders..

[Flatout Suspension]

If you have a spacer lift, you NEED these!
They thread onto the shock shaft to basically lengthen the rod so your shock drops the same rate as the springs. It recenters the shaft so you are in your optimal travel range after installing rear spring spacers. They are meant to go along with our level lift, but they will work with any brand. $100 to maximize the performance of your spacer lift!

*Maverick uses the M8 version

you could buy better & longer shocks for that price

Unfortunately, we can’t set price on opinion and are bound by cost of goods, overhead, etc.

 

[Hillbilly]

Yeah, you might need to re-think your overhead. That is way out of line

Lol, no you can’t...

I'm onboard with this. I'll select the individuals to fire based on height.

It's really not. I mean, I guess if you are comparing it to a $15 comparable part made by Mr. Gasket using zinc plated steel from china, sure. But this is 18-8 stainless steel and grade 8 hardware with a tensile strength of 116000psi. I'm sure we could make them as cheap as possible, but we put quality before price. We aren't here to be the cheapest, we're here to offer the best parts possible made from the best materials possible.

Flatout,
I'm not questioning your suspension expertise or the need for a spacer if you lift your truck and use the stock shocks. Just saying, $100 for a pair of 1-2 inch spacers seems a little steep, even if made of "unobtanium". I would rather place my $ on some better than stock shocks that would do the job much better. Best of luck with your new product and sorry for the snarky comment on your pricing

The problem is nobody makes good replacement shocks for the maverick

Dang. Seems to be a lot of experts about another man's business in here.

Go buy the material, machines, computers, training, building, insurance, etc. then design, build, and market this product and tell me you'd be cheaper and happy with your profit margin.

Sorry. No relation to OP, but as a former small business owner, this type of "market feedback" really irks me.

Flatout makes a whole setup for the Bronco's that is the same as the Mavericks. It's costly, but if you want a proper lift you are going to buy once cry once.

GR40 Maverick Lift

Quite frankly - this is what you get for buying cheap spacers. So let's not complain about suspension costs when you go cheap to begin with and expect good results. Not only do you need something like this, but it's likely if you go anything around 2", you'd want some of the other spacers as well for the subframe. I'll leave that up to @Flatout Suspension to recommend or not (I could be wrong - I have been once...), but they are currently the only ones offering anything of the sort.

I do have one question for you, Flatout. What is the difference in the OEM Hybrid mount vs. Camber Plate for the GR40's you offer? I currently have an Ironman Foam Cell Pro setup on a Tacoma - so this one is an all new setup for me. I do know I won't be needing the Overload spring option for the Maverick.

Our OEM Hybrid is a replication of the OEM mount, but designed for our shocks. It has the rubber center with radial bearing. The camber plate has a spherical bearing and is slotted to allow camber adjustment. On the Maverick/ Bronco Sport I don’t recommend them because you have to drop the shock to adjust it due to the closed tower design. OEM hybrid + Camber bolt works perfectly.

One thing arm chair business advisors don’t realize - when people scoff or disparage product, a lot of companies will abandon the platform because they think no one wants parts. Then years later, companies get emails saying “can you make such and such, there’s literally no aftermarket support for these cars.”

I get one of those emails almost daily.

This sort of stuff used to bug me, but then I pull sales reports and realize one person doesn’t speak for the group. For instance, our $3380 suspension referenced by another poster here, it’s our top seller, by far. Yet one person in a FB group or on a forum lends their expertise and says “no one will pay $3300 for a suspension”, when in fact they do. 5:1 over the other stuff.

With the advent of eBay, everyone seems to use that pricing as the market standard. It’s not. When you buy in bulk from China, you get pricing at pennies on the dollar. We’re more interested in giving you stuff that lasts. As they say, “buy once, cry once.”

We’d rather have 10 customers floored by our quality than 100 that saved a buck and got something with a limited shelf life. We’re not price leaders, we’re quality leaders.
