Please let me know how the Airlift bags installed. I just spent 2 hours trying to get one in and gave up, took 30 minutes to get out. 4th vehicle with air lift bags, but these new ones are so much more stiff I gave up trying to get them in. Not sending them back just yet, but I'm close. Hoping you found an easier trick to getting them in there.
Jack up the truck to let the weight of the axle and tire stretch the spring, I had to fold the ends toward the middle to slip it through, I have spring spreaders if that doesn't work, used them on a set of McPherson struts I'd overloaded but couldn't afford to replace in 2011 while out of work, Country Boy Will Survive.
If they give it a manual transmission I will most likely buy it. I do wish they would make it a 2 door long bed and RWD, but I guess beggars can't be choosers...having a manual transmission is most important of all.
Guess I will just have to end up going with the Bronco 2 door base model with a manual, but I am poor and a Maverick is already an extreme stretch.The Explorer ST does get the most powerful engine offered... it just shares that engine with the King Ranch, and Platinum.
Also the Edge ST gets the 2.7 EB, which is much more powerful than the others.
Fords ST Line, vehicles are just base to mid-grade vehicles that they put some lipstick on. I remember considering a Fiesta ST and then finding ST Lines super cheap. About 2 minutes into Google and I realized the ST Lines were basically worthless. If Ford does a legit ST it would most likely be a 2.3, I don't think they would stretch the 2.7 into the Maverick, but we can all hope. We can also pray... or have our best thoughts for a 6 or 7m version but I doubt it would ever happen
2door base model MT with a turbo/intercooler upgrade and a tune would be pretty sweet.
One more piece of advice to this is heat them up. I set them out in the sun and put a space heater an inch away from them. Makes them a lot more pliable and easier to work with.
