I drove my lowered Silverado all winter long. Just switched out to winter tires at the first sign of snow. No different than driving the family sedan....
Right, I live in Ohio and before I got my maverick I was driving a r/t challenger year round since 2018.

Soo, EIBACH finally had me in for the New Prototype Lowering Kit. Came out BITCHEN! Rides smooth with no bounce and plenty of suspension. Has exactly what I was looking for. That sport truck stance. That ‘CALI’ feel is back….

They said production sets will be coming in 3-4 months I think. Having lowered B2000’s in the late 80’s n early 90’s this is low enough 4 me. I’ll sacrifice the dropp for the ‘SMOOTH’ ride. But, we all like we like!!!!!

So Joe, How Low DID you Go ? Is that 2" front and rear ? I think the STANCE is almost perfect. I want to do the same only maybe leave half to one inch in the rear, make the bed rails look flat as the Earth.

Besides aesthetics, are there any other benefits for lowering the Mav? I can think of the slight (~1) increase in MPG due to aerodynamic gains on highway driving but.. anything else?
Lower center of gravity, better road handling.

Soo they lowered 3” in the rear and 2” in the front I believe. They made some adjustments for the production kit! But it sits damn near level , jus a tad bit higher about 1/8 inch. The production sets will be right on dead nuts, from what they told me. But, over all I love it. The stance, the lowered heighth the ride the suspension . In my opinion it’s wonderful. Rims and tires are on there way.

Nice! Assuming EB. Any hints about FWD hybrid release?
👍
I believe those are fwd (hybrid/eco boost are same for fwd) you can see on their website and instagram too I think videos from them and they say awd to follow shortly as they are different

I thought there's a different weight ratio front/rear between EB & hybrid. I never looked it up but a 2.5 w/electric motor vs 2.0 turbo probably weight different.

Truck goes back to Eibach on Thursday. They are putting on the corrected prototype front coils. Truck should sit dead level now. Will post pic when done.
