Finally got the Lariat lowered on Silvers coilovers and 20" TSW Ascent wheels

[mfergel]

It was unplanned but my truck is now a twin to Smooth_criminal. I actually bought the Silver Coilovers from a member over a year ago but wanted to wait until I had wheels as well. Came across someone selling their truck on one of the Maverick Facebook groups and the buyer only wanted the stock wheels, so I got a reasonable deal on some 20x8.5 TSW Ascents. Honestly it looks better in person and it hadn't even been lowered 24 hours and I had two different people compliment me on the looks. I was expecting the ride to be worse based on everyone that complained about the ride of Silvers (without the Swift springs). I think the ride is actually pretty good and I haven't even messed with the dampeners yet.

This looks really good, is this all the way down or do you have more adjustment?

Still have some room to bring it down a bit. I haven't measured it yet (I bought them used and just kept them at the same height that previous owner had them at) but I think it has a slight rake from back to front. At least visually it looks like it does. Honestly really happy with the ride and appearance so have no plans to adjust it up or down (unless I have an issue with speed bumps, etc).

Great to see an improve ride. I hate the truck bouncy ride.

Those wheels look Saleen-ish, which is always a good thing. Clean.

Awesome. I'm this close to ordering the Silver's, probably Lawrence Giles up front but maybe 7k in back. Have you noticed any rubbing? And what's your height from the ground to the fender? I'm thinking about starting at 30" in front and 30.5" in back and see how that goes.

Sweet!
Looks fantastic, enough with dark colored wheels.

Yeah, I've actually been wondering if I should do a subtle graphic. My 06 Mustang GT had Saleen style fender hashes at one time and then I actually put a Roush style hockey stick on it. If I do a stripe on this, it will probably be matt white or a super light gray.

I had actually planned to go with black or a bronze that matches the interior accents. It's just that I got a good deal on these.

Just went and measured and that's exactly the heights on mine. I haven't come across any rubbing yet.

Darn, if it wasn't for winters here, I could have considered this for mine too. It looks sharp!
