Made it 30 minutes and 31 miles before the mods started on my '24 Lariat

[Coupe68GT390]

Drove it home and installed Steeda springs, adjustable rear camber arms, front camber adjust kits, 20x8.5 MRR HR9 wheels (35mm offset), Nitto Motivo 255/45R20s, and even got it all lined up the same evening! Now just need tint and a good detail. Tires and wheels are all grubby from mounting them. Might add a stubby antenna and the filler on the rear bumper and that's about it for me.

UPDATE: Photos added after tint, mud flaps, and a good detail. Just the hitch filler and stubby antenna on the outside yet. Already received a Groundshaker sub box for the left side and have a JL Audio 10TW1-4 on the way. What's the thinking on an amp and remaining speaker set up to upgrade the stock B&O? How does everyone connect up? Splice in to libe level or is there a plug and play for the B&O set-up?

Nice! We can't wait to see it with the tint.

Hey JC.

Welcome to the club and congratulations on getting your Maverick!

I do think you are missing ONE mod from your list... a Maverick Truck Club decal so you can properly “represent.”

See details at Maverick Truck Club Decal (Transfer) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($6 delivered)

Congrats again on getting your Mav and thanks for considering.

That looks really good, what rear camber arms are you using?

Thanks, but I'm just not a sticker guy. You can see in the after photos I already removed the dealer sticker and will be peeling off the Tough bed sticker on the rear window too. I like them clutter free.

Awesome I’ll have to order them, thanks!

Even though the Steeda springs only drop the rear 2.25” we had to extend the upper camber arms almost 3/4” longer than stock arms to get the camber right in the middle. It drives and rides perfect with these springs...IMO!

Looks awesome I did a lot to mine I just need wheels and tires.

Oh hell yeah! I probably will order lowering springs before the dealer says mines been delivered

Does it rub at all lowered with those wheel specs? Lock to lock or over hard bumps or anything?

Not at all! Keep in mind the Steeda springs are only 1.5 front and 2.25 rear drop, which is an inch higher than Eibach and H&R in the rear...if memory serves...so could be an issue with lower ride heights and turning. My truck has 4k tow and I intend to use it, so didn't want to risk it with too low of springs. It seems a lot of 20s with the 5x108 pattern are 40-45 offset, which puts them closer to the inside, and they won't stick out of the wheel wells when running 8.5 wides. I think these sit just right with the wheel lip...IMO. There is an inch between the strut and wheel/tires and at least an inch in the rear as well. So happy I bought these wheels instead of the ones I was one click from buying when these popped up.

I will say these are a WAY heavier combo than the BAP wheels and tires, so I'm betting I lose a couple MPG, but I can take the trade off for the ride, stance, and handling improvement.

As an added plus, I am 5'6" and always had to step on the inside of one of the rear wheels of my 22 XLT hybrid to reach over the bed rails to pick stuff up off the bed floor. Lowered this truck doesn't require it.

Not at all! As a matter of fact I was kinda bummed I didn't go with a 265.

I think these sit just right with the wheel lio...IMO. There is over an inch between the strut and wheel/tires and at least an inch in the tear as well.

That’s awesome
I just come from owning 2 lowered cars so driving high vehicles makes me uncomfortable and I want some tight handling. I’m not tall either so anything else from a drop is a bonus

I was looking into the exact same tire spec on an 20x8.5” wheel as well, expecting to go marginally less on the offset like 38 just for safety. Wider would always be nice but I want this to be the nice vehicle that I don’t have to worry about rubbing with all the time, lol

And considering the wheel size, I’ve gotta shoot for a forged wheel of some sort because the weight penalty is absolutely ridiculous. There are some wheels I really like for a good price but they’re cast and 38 lbs per wheel is ABSURD. You’d feel that trying to move and trying to stop…

 

[BeardedMarine]

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking bout. Congrats, looks great.
