Another bagged / lowered 2022 Maverick pickup build being built

[daddio211]

Another bagged ride being built. Stole the pics from a friend on Farcebook.

Nobody cares if you don't like it.

[EDIT:] Because so many people don't understand airbag suspensions these vehicles drop when parked (or cruising) but lift up to roughly stock height for normal driving. Thanks @IPunchCholla

Build what you like. It's your truck. I plan on just dropping my AWD 2" front and rear. And adding aftermarket 18" BBS copies. I suppose what I want done can be accomplished with a spring change.

Daddio211 I'm looking to lower my AWD just a tad higher than the black one in your first pic.

I think the front suspension is all the same between FWD and AWD, and if I remember correctly the builder originally used Mazda 626 coilovers. That'd be a good place to start looking for something compatible.

I don't think the aftermarket is going to come up with this much drop without other serious modifications. We'll likely see a 1 1/2" front and 2" rear coil in the near future, but those of us who want it lower are going to have our work cut out for us.

It'd be nice if these trucks got the same aftermarket support that we got for the '88-98 Chevy's and GMC's. Order a 4/6 drop in a box and have it dumped in a long afternoon!

I'm not holding my breath.

Its brand new. Give it a little time. With as much buzz as there is with it, the aftermarket will respond. I read on another forum that Eibach is working on 2-3 lowering springs which would be just enough for me honestly.

 

[daddio211]

I read that Eibach is doing a 1.5/2. Hope you're right.

Thanks @Administrator for making this its own thread.

What happens to these lowered vehicles when you encounter some decently sized roadkill? (Serious question — have always wondered the outcome)

I hope they do also. That would be perfect.

Hey what ever floats yer boat, been driving factory rides for years, kinda like the low rider look, less drag, better fuel economy.

I enjoy seeing all the mods that are being done to the Mavericks, mine is due in April/May and will lower an inch or two.

Steer around. Lmao. Common sense. Also these bagged trucks don’t drive like this. Airbags raise up to normal drive height for driving

I hit a medium sized cat at about 50 that darted out in front of my lowered 00 Civic and it took out the bumper, radiator, several A/C components and the front core support.

I am not impressed with the rear design, maybe a backing plate to sandwich the main plate would be better aswell as partial boxing of the gussets. Otherwise cool. Make mine a hybrid with rear wheel hub motors! I would also like the flex bed sealed and designed as a hot tub.
