1" Level Kit on Hybrid Maverick

[Keepthecode]

Why would you lift a Maverick, the whole point of owning one is because it is small, get a Ranger or F150 if you want to roll higher.

Probably because it gets 2x the fuel mileage and has more interior volume than a Ranger. Also it's MUCH less expensive. There are tons of reasons to want a *leveled* Mav.

Im curious about why Rough Country states on their website that this kit is not compatible with the Hybrid.

I asked them but they never responded. Can't think of any reason given the fact the front suspension is identical in every way to that of the EcoBoost.

Most likely because they haven't seen one and test fit, even if you know it will work, you usually don't want to list a product unless you have physically installed it. They may also have thought no one is going to lift the hybrid lol.

I wrote 2 emails to them and asked the same thing...no response...

My thoughts exactly. It’s a 2wd hybrid. Lifting the front just isn’t my thing. Trucks are supposed to sit a little higher in the back to account for squat when towing or hauling.

If your buying a Maverick for towing and hauling your kind of buying the wrong truck anyway! The cool thing is people love their trucks and like to do the things they like to them.

Same here. I'd be interested in a 1" lift front and back. But just lifting the front doesn't do much for function other than a slight increase in angle of approach in exchange for a very slight decrease in angle of departure.

I think everyone has a different idea of "towing and hauling". I move household goods and tow a U-haul trailer for anything that otherwise can't fit in the bed. I sold my F-250 CCLB V10 4x4 because I only needed that 8' bed about once a year, but driving a 22-foot-long truck the other 364 days a year that got 12mpg freakin' sucked.

1" lift makes the truck look as it should have from the factory <-- My opinion.
I did the same thing once to my 2wd Xterra -Looked great afterwards with proper stance!

All I see is the added empty space above the wheel, which to me, looks unproportioned.

This looks great, but does it void your warranty? I stopped by my dealer yesterday to inquire about having them do this whenever my truck comes in. (For the record, by "my truck," I mean the truck I hope Ford will f'ing build at some point. I do not have a build date yet.) Anyway, they said any leveling or lift kit will void the warranty. Seeing so many people doing this, it is hard to believe that the warranties are voided as a result.

Now, I'm clueless about how all of this works. I've never modified a car or truck that was still under warranty.

Any after market mod you do to a vehicle will void the warranty. Just how the OEM cover their a$$

If you aren't towing anything or don't have a ton of gravel in the back but you need that extra inch of ground clearance in the front to drive drive your ranch roads or access the trailhead THAT'S why some of us like to lift. It is practical. I also think it happens to look better.

It is not the original posters truck, the Administrator posts things found across the internet for our viewing pleasure.

You should absolutely get an alignment after installing any sort of lift. Install rates will vary depending on shop and location, I can tell you in my area that rate is between $90-$125/hr. Rough Country estimates 2-3 hours for install.

I paid $270 to get mine installed.

They mentioned in a youtube comment it's just because they have not found a hybrid to test it on.

Which is right in line what what I suggested.
