Folks,
I frequent the Bronco Sports forum becuase they are so similar to the Mavericks, and I'm always curious to what the folks do over there that can be applied here. The other day, I ran across a thread where someone had adapted a 1" leveling kit to just do 3/4" on the front. That would probably be enough to take the majority of the downward rake of the Maverick out, without jacking it up so much that excessive CV joint wear becomes an issue.. Basically the OP omits a 1/4" spring preload ring from the kit and just employs the 3/4" strut spacer. I'm going to watch the thread on Bronco Sport forums to see how the OP copes with the modification for a bit.
Here's the link:

It's interesting, becuase my 4WP kit (1" up front, 3/4" out back) has a similar arrangement for the front lift... although the included aluminum preload spacer is thicker (I have not yet installed the 4WP kit over CV axle concerns, I'll dig it out of my bodega and measure it soon.). Omitting that preload ring would keep the strut travel the same as stock. But of course with 3/4" up front and 3/4" out back you wouldn't be removing any of that Maverick rake... (not that 1/4" would make that much difference visually, no?).
Here's a PDF for my kit (#4WP62207K, Which they don't sell now... just the leveling portion for the front).
