Eibach install complete 24 XLT FWD -- Before & After pics

[BennyMav]

Before picture and after pictures.
Install was pretty straight forward thank goodness. After asking around the shops wanting hundreds of dollars for install I decided to do the install myself. The rear was super easy and fronts just took more time. Overall I'm pretty happy with the appearance and new driving experience. I did install the bump stops as well on all four corners. 2024 XLT FWD 2.0L Gas with 1653 miles. Eventually, I'll get it to a shop to do the alignment, but it's not pulling one way or another driving really well.

Looks good!

That looks good. I would love to do this, but I fear it would lower the payload too much.

Thank you! I'm really enjoying the ride and can't wait to try some back roads.

Awesome. Can’t wait to install mine. Rear springs are interesting since the coils are sitting on each other. Did you do the front camber bolts? Any issues you ran into doing the install

I lowered mine but before I did I checked with Eibach and they told me that their springs had the same tensile strength as original springs. I have towed a U-Haul trailer after lowering with no issues

When I asked Eibach they said the camber bolts were not necessary on the Maverick installation.

I did not purchase the camber bolts. From my research camber bolts are not needed for the Maverick. Install went really smooth and no issues. The rears took me less than an hour and five hours total on jack stands in my driveway. Rented the spring compressors from autozone $52 and will return for a full refund.

Did you get the front aligned post-install? I did a self-install on the springs and the alignment shop did end up needing the camber bolts in the front for proper alignment after lowering.

This was on the FWD Hybrid, the Ecoboost may be different and not need them.

I go on Wednesday for the alignment to make sure everything is good to go.

Looks great! I just bought the textured bug deflector too and just waiting to install it soon.

 

[Jakedangler]

This is for certain the textures deflector?

 

[BennyMav]

Alignment is done! Truck has been driving fine but had a alignment done today. Tech said he fixed the toe which was not bad at all. Camber is little off and he recommend buying the camber bolts but was not necessary. Drives in a straight line and really enjoying the new ride.

Payload doesnt change at all, distance to bump stops does decrease, but the new bump stops are adjusted accordingly.

Not necessary on FWD, absolutely necessary on AWD.

That stance is perfect!
