2025 AWD Hybrid Lift Kit?

[Head Surgeon]

If the Lift is only an inch the effects should be limited. I'm not certain if the Tremor axles are a different part number or not. There seems to be a consensus on this board that they are different. Depends somewhat where the lift is installed. If it is on top of the strut, the body is lifted, but the suspension travel remains the same and the geometry should not change much. This does not increase ground clearance without larger dia. tires. The main change is likely the tie rod angle from the rack to the spindle. This can cause bump steer. 2.5" is a bit aggressive. The kit relocates the swaybar bushings but does not do much if anything for the steering tie rods. The suspension travel that I found for the Maverick is around 8" total, so if evenly split that is 4"compression and 4" extension. A 2.5" lift is going the change that angle a bunch. I am assuming that the rack is attached to the body, as is common, and the suspension is on a subframe that does not move when the body is raised. If it were me, I would try and drive a Maverick with the kit in it and drive it over various bumps and see if the bump steer is acceptable to you.

That is best I can do for you. I have not raised my Mav and have no plans to do so.

Thanks Bob!! very helpful. I think I am going take your advice and hold off. For now anyway. You make great points and I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze as they say.
