Lowering springs for Maverick

[Darksider]

Only thing i will be towing is the occasion bodies around. I have a proper tow vehicle that also goes off road if needed. This truck is my street car. And before anyone says they wish they could afford two vehicles, my tow is 20 years old with 170k miles value at 5k, they are easy to come by.. Might not be pretty but its job is not pretty.

A properly designed and set up air suspension could lower the truck a lot and still be capable in the towing and payload department. Air kits are used as helper devices in large towing trucks already.

I've called both Airlift Technology and Bell-Tech suspension and Airlift is not planning a kit, however Bell-Tech said after SEMA they are focusing on the Maverick. They are doing the Bronco thing right now and said they haven't gotten access to a Maverick yet, but a full range of 1" to 6" drop kits will be available but no ETA currently.

Eibach has started developement on lowering springs for the FWD applications, specifically the Ecoboost (Hybrid will be as soon as we get a vehicle). Im looking at targeting 2" front lowering and 3.5" rear lowering to keep it level (has 1.5" of rake factory).

Have never considered lowering a truck until now but I think the Maverick could look real good lowered.

Vroooom

Are these drawings, vectors, or a posterized image? Love it.

Someone has already done a 4” drop using off the shelf parts and it looks great to me. Here are the directions

Interested in a 2” drop on an XL. Anyone have any information on lowering springs or techniques that will work with this suspension?

Talk to Steeda... they already have lowering springs out for the other c2 cousins. I am sure Steeda will be making them regardless.

Im hoping Scott @ Steeda comes thru for the Maverick.

If you lower your Maverick with newly engineered springs that are specific to the vehicle and are manufactured by a reputable company like H&R Springs or Eibach the difference in "ride" would hardly be discernable. I have owned and driven a variety of lowered vehicles and opinions on how each one "rides" is subjective. I prefer a more firm ride because of the way I drive.
If a person gets impatient and wants to slam their Maverick right now, you can cut the springs to whatever height you prefer. Be sure to zip tie them to the spring perch in case you hit a dandy bump. Wouldn't want those springs rolling down the road would you Bubba ?

I haven't even been scheduled yet, but if you still don't have one by the time mine arrives, you can use it. I'm in Huntington Beach and can drive my Jeep. I had planned on lowering mine anyway.

im in tustin with a FWD ecoboost if they need a test mule.

WHY would you want to lower the Maverick? IMO - that would completely ruin the look of the truck. Again JMO.

Its looks like prototypes are scheduled for mid decemeber, so they should be completed january-ish barring any production issues. We'll see how quickly anyone gets hybrids delivered lol.

Oh good. Hoping you find one fast. @LadyMav is getting hers soon, but I don't know if this would be of any interest to her. As soon as you have them I'll buy a set.
