Looking for 2” but worried these axles are horrible like 2022-2024 ones, although I heard they upgraded the 25’s.

Following. I'm interested as well, but from what I recall from my brief looks under a FWD hybrid and an AWD EB, I don't see the Maverick's suspension as conducive of a lift more than maybe an inch, and I think that's pushing it. Hopefully I'm wrong.
I'd ballpark the total suspension travel at the wheel hub at maybe 6 or 7 inches. To lift it 2 inches means that you'd lose that much in downtravel, which contributes to a bouncier ride. The Maverick's lower control arms also each have one vertical bushing and one horizontal bushing. The horizontal bushings looked like they could be unloaded and "reset" to a different position, but the vertical bushings would just forever be compressed at a more extreme angle than intended.

The factory axles have difficulty handling any kind of lift. - And I've hard of owners being declined warranty coverage due to having lifted their trucks.
That said, there is now an updated front axle which may remedy their issues. Unfortunately I don't believe the Tremor axles will fit the Hybrid, as the Hybrid uses different axles than the non-hybrid. (I'm 99% sure they're a different length than those used on the EB models).
