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

[Flatout Suspension]

The OE shaft is 25mm, so good chance they are matching the OD of the shaft. 1" bar stock turned down 0.4mm.

OEM Rear shock shaft is 11mm. These are also externally 11mm. Inside tapped to match the M8x1.25 threading, the stud on the end matches at M8x1.25

In the photo the barrel is just bigger than the 8MM stud. Definitely not 1", or even 3/4".

lol how tf did you measure it in the photo... c'mon man. You are embarrassing yourself here.

Really. Why don't you ast for an actual measurement from the OP then we can talk.

Literally two posts above you buddy.

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

Thanks for the post!

The problem is nobody makes good replacement shocks for the maverick

Literally these guys do. Look at their site they have a full suite of options for your kav depending on if you want to lower or lift

Where is the force coming from that is going to bend the shock? The end of the OEM shock rod sits inside the extender and butts up to the new threaded portion. There is no hollow spot to create a weak point.

I'm sorry we can't price these based on what a few people think is adequate price. Our pricing is based on real numbers. We aren't going to make them out of lesser materials because the Maverick is a less expensive truck than a Raptor. We don't price based on the used car market, or any other factor than cost of goods, overhead, and actual business costs.

If a cheaper alternative exists and you want to save a few bucks, by all means - buy the cheap one, I'm not going to get in your way.

I can't believe how much heat you guys are getting. You made a high quality luxury product and people are losing their minds lol. Keep doing what you are doing, I plan on getting a lift kit aoon

What I meant was there are no stock style replacement shocks. I know there are a couple of companies making coil overs for the maverick.

Apparently @JP4AZ has the hookup to get them for only $50 a piece, though.

you could buy better & longer shocks for that price

Good morning! I recently purchased your new 2 inch lift kit for the hybrid and is getting installed today. Do I need these extenders with your kit?

While it's not required, it will enhance the suspension. As is, you will be 1.5" (or however much you decide to lift the rear) closer to topping out/ full extension. This will put the shock back to it's static position pre-lift. You can add these on at any time.

Who knew it'd be so controversial to two whole people!?

Dang, I wish I would have know this earlier. I would have ordered and have them installed with the rest of the kit today. How difficult is it to install since I’m going to need to install them myself instead of going back to the shop?

We didn’t release these until after you ordered (it’s something we’ve been working on, but only recently had time to make a prototype). It’s very easy to do any time, this is a retroactive part that works for any brand spacer lift.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I’ll order these in a couple of weeks.
