Any pictures of yours or more info? I didn't realize we already had a third on the Escape springs. Did your rear drop evenly from side to side? Also, I can't quite tell it from your avatar but it looks like yours may be squatting? I know Canyon Racer and JJC both mentioned shimming the back higher, I don't know if it was just for a preferred look or if it was necessary to keep the back from sitting lower.I bought a second escape left rubber squeek isolator from ford(11$) when I did these springs on my truck and used that on the right side so it fit the spring right.
Didn't really measure the back vs front. These are super temporary... Honestly you can barely tell it lowered it any at all. I've been bugging every coil over company about making a coilover kit for the truck. I never get anything beyond a form letter back from the companies stating they aren't interested in making coilovers for the truck.Any pictures of yours or more info?

I'm really trying to hold off for the Maverick specific springs so I don't run into any trouble but if enough report little to no issues I may give these a go. The sporty wheels and tires I now have just do not look right at stock height. I'm almost considering going back to stock wheels until I can lower and fully look the sport truck part.

So you just threw springs at it? I understand the temporary, but to not measure the drop to even get an idea? I don't get that at all. And yes, from reading on here, ISC will be around the corner but $256 for springs vs $1600 for coilovers; this old man is fine with the springs if I can confirm what's actually going on.Didn't really measure the back vs front.

Im on the list for the ones from the blue truck from sema but they just say sometime after spring.
So glad you're thinking of me. I was merely providing information based on Ford specifications. Clearly Mr boom doesn't care at all. You could have physical relations with your Maverick and maybe you do, I don't really care, I was just posing factual information unlike tuners like 5 star who make claims of it having an 8F57 which clearly isn't the case. So butt hurt you are....Also, @FakeCowboy should get in here to properly assess the lifetime on that poor 8F35.
How long has this one been tuned without transmission issues? And how many miles/pulls has it succumb to in that time? Just wondering because we have folks on here who seem to the think the transmission is too weak even for stock torque..
