Increasing ground clearance - lift kit and tires recommendations?

[Frenchy]

I just ordered a 2025 maverick hybrid the 4K package.
Yesterday I received an email from Ford telling me the they will start to build it next week.
I bought it because of the mileage and to go "off roading" (not rock climbing) but just on blm, forest and gravel roads.
I want to increase the ground clearance so I want install a 2' lift and bigger tires, what do you recommend. I like maxis tires. What do you think?
Is it possible to install two tow hooks in the front?
Which kind of range ( miles) can I expect this it?
Thank you very much

Although no one has been able to verify a MY25, I doubt that you'll be able to add tow hooks.

You might want to repost this in the forum dedicated to suspension, and with a title describing the feed back you want. Just posting a title of "good afternoon" in the general forum isn't likely to get the feedback that you are looking for.

2" lift? Unless they've upgraded the CV joints plan on regular replacements.

Model year 2025 production doesn't start until November. Actually, I think it doesn't start until 11/11. It seems highly unlikely that a vehicle you "just" ordered will be built next week. You may want to reread that email.

I believe that I corrected this to 12/02/2024

Your initial post still says what I quoted, but yes, 12/2 is more realistic!

My 24 XLT does not have the rear welded mounts for tow hooks eventhough the dealer said it does. I spent 3 hrs at dealership to find this out . There are 2 frames. Not a happy camper.

And what was your dealers response when this was discovered? Did they charge you for the time?

I have the Flatout Suspension lift for my 24 Hybrid and works and looks great. I am still on my stock 18" wheels and tires. To cheap to swap them at 4k miles on them.

How has the flatout kit been treating you after a couple months of use?

Great, accidentally jumped an island and did not high center. Ride is good and I don't even notice the rear springs ride with the 20% load increase.
