MINE AND ALOT OF THEM HAVE A RAKE TO THEM MY REAR SITS ABOUT AN INCH AND HALF TALLER . A LEVEL PUCK IN THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT MORE EVEN
I like the ‘rake’ look on a pick up truck or any hot rodded vehicle but I suppose level will handle better in the slalom section or any turn.

I reached out to Goodwin Racing about those springs and could not get a clear answer on how much it would lift a tremor. They state it lifted there non-tremor shop maverick 1.25". The rake on my tremor is only 1" and I don't want it to have a Carolina squat.
Since the Tremor springs already position it higher than the standard Maverick springs, and the standard was lifted 1.25" by these springs, then it stands to reason that it wouldn't lift a Tremor 1.25". I do understand wanting an exact measurement before purchasing though.

Any update? I've been looking at the Goodwin springs myself instead of doing a spacer lift. The stiffer springs should help more with the handling while being lifted. Also because they're only $220 right now.

Ended up buying the zone level kit . It was all metal doesn't require any grinding of the strut just bolts ontop, Also can be aligned with the factory stuff and doesn't change the ride. I just haven't installed it yet

Honestly, if you’re just daily driving it and hitting light trails, the front level puck is the easiest/cheapest option and keeps the stock Tremor ride. It’ll also take out the rake like you want.

If you want a little more clearance for the 245/70R17s and don’t mind a small change in steering feel, the Eibach springs seem to be the better all around lift based on what everyone posted. Both setups look good just depends if you want simple vs. full lift.

That was alot of my reasoning behide doing the level vs springs, not to mention i dont have to take apart my my new trucks suspension. its quick and inexpensive and does what i wanted it for. still have springs in my cart for maybe a upgraded build in a couple yrs when the suspension is worn out. now to figure out what tire i wanta use lol smh

Every one that is talking about a front leveling kit did not say what company makes a spacer for a Tremor. Being that the strut assembly is longer on the Tremor then the standard Maverick I would think you would end up with a squatted Tremor. So who lists a lift spacer for a Tremor?

NONE OF THEM SAY OT DONT SAY IT WILL WORK , BUT ALL THE MAVERICKS USE THE SAME TOP MOUNTING PLATE ON THE STRUT. SO THEY ALL SHOULD WORK . I KNOW THE RTR , ROUGH COUNTRY , AND ZONE WORK . AS IVE SEEN ON OTHERS THAT HAVE USED THEM .

Here is the update . Installed and new tires went with 245/70-17 bfg ko3 . No rubbing even at full lock . Trimed the wiper cowl / strut cover to keep it sealed and installed a massive brace . Took 1.4 mpg drop due to the mass ,which I expected still getting 25.4 avg . No not mad
