will do for sure. If I’m going to go up from the245/65s to 245/70s I’ve got to get the tires so I can do all of this in one visit to the shop.

What kinda MPG are you seeing with those size tires on your hybrid? I’m super torn between 245/65 and 245/70 on my hybrid because off MPG loss@timmytonga love the Toyo tires!!! Got the same size as you? With just a level kit. I feel the ride is day and night. It definitely handles better. What other mods are you planning???
It moves rearward when loaded. Its because there is a trailing/radius arm on the rear knuckle. So far I havent seen a kit that has a significant drop mount on that arm. If we ever lift our Tremor(might take a while to convice my wife) I want to look into buying a replacement arm and do some drop and extension mods to it.
How much was it for the dealer installed lift?Here are some initial pics of my Maverick with a 1.5” lift and 245/70R70 tires

-245/70R70 Toyo AT3 tires (stock wheels)
-Dealer installed SIBL

-soft open tailgate

We are so glad you're enjoying your Maverick!@timmytonga love the Toyo tires!!! Got the same size as you? With just a level kit. I feel the ride is day and night. It definitely handles better. What other mods are you planning???
I’m getting 33-35 mpg but it’s winter here so I expect it to go up a bit in the summer. I was in the 39-41 mpg stock. I think the trade off is worth it, I get so many complements. I was also debating the tire size, when I started looking for tires but I told myself I only live once and I wanted it to look Aggressive. If I had to pick again I would go with the same size tire 245/70/17 also I have a level kit installed. But you definitely need new tires you will feel the difference immediately.

It was about $700-$800 all in on the lift
My total bill was about $2600 but that was the bed liner, lift, tires, and alignment
Bed liner was $595
Tires installed $1100
Alignment $100
Lift $800 -ish including labor
There were some shop fees and things too but thats all in the wash
This was done Akins ford in Winder GA
Its great to see you posting more than simply contacting about vehicle problems(which is also great). Look forward to seeing FoMoCo involved in the Maverick enthusiast community. I do feel like this could be the beginning of something like the Foxbody popularity, only better. Also thanks for Moving up my Tremor build date yesterday!
Hi Tim. Like the pics of your lift. I have the exact same truck,Cactus Grey, 4K tow pkg. FX4 off road. I am having a 2” lift kit installed on Monday. Looking forward to see how it handles. Again tks for the pics. Will send my pics when the truck is done.

Love it! definitely share the pics, I'd be interested to see how it compares. I almost went with the 2" and was even thinking about the 2.5" superlight but I decided I wanted to stick with ReadyLIFT because of their brand reputation and I chickened out about too much height because I was worried about possible damage to the CV axles and other components.
Wondering what your feelings are on the Toyo's as far as traction goes. The pirelli scorpions that came on mine aren't cutting it on snow and ice. i'm torn between them and the Wildpeak Trails.@timmytonga love the Toyo tires!!! Got the same size as you? With just a level kit. I feel the ride is day and night. It definitely handles better. What other mods are you planning???
To be honest we don’t get bad weather here in Las Vegas, hence why I didn’t go with the all wheel drive Mav. With the few rainy day I definitely had zero wheel spin. Mostly I got them because I like the thread pattern and they have a 65k mile warranty. Sorry I can’t be more help, we just don’t deal with bad weather, but I have taken it out in the desert sands and had zero issues.
