Adding gear to the rear is going to squat it out pretty good. Won't be pretty going off road anywhere!
I left my 2 inch RC lift kit. Got rid of the squat with all the gears in the back.
BooyahI took my time with the build (around 3 months?) so I just thought I'd share with you all where I am at. Very excited to get out on the road and test out my new toys. I am located in the Valley in California (Northern California) so if you guys have any nice spots for me to check out I would truly appreciate it!

I was so focused on the Mav I missed the Aussie Shepard…Beautiful dog, the truck's not too bad either!
I've been wanting to pull the trigger to do so, but with the amount of stories I've read with lift kit failures, I've just been putting it on hold.. maybe when it's necessary since i dont plan on doing any extreme off-roading.
MAN! That's some good news! I've been wanting to make time to go to an Expo for this type of information. Thank you for instilling some hope back into me!
Sounds like a plan! Thanks for the recommendation! Just got back from camping and already cant wait to get back out!
Thanks for taking the time to check it out! But yeah! the truck in the pictures was already loaded with most of the gear already, the only other things left were just light duffel bags of clothes, blankets etc.. Just got back from a 3 day trip and so far i could say the squat hasnt been an issue...yet.. haha would love to get it lifted one day
I'm not gonna lie.. it was tough trying to figure out a way to set up the awning being 80lbs.. I settled using 3/4 inch steel supports meant for marble countertops. and the reason it needed to be extended out that high and far was for clearance for the rooftop tent.. just got back from a 3 day camping trip and no issues yet.. i don't plan on doing any extreme Off-roading either so it should be enough.. i hope..
That's a beautiful build man! it looks a lot better than i imagined! I also have the same type of clamp-on rack on my Honda Civic, i may just try to fit that on to mine the way you did!I'd go with the 2nd option. Super easy install. There's not any factory/or OEM mounting point in our Maverick roof to modify your first option. Though ot looks really sweet. There's not really any issues on having the clamp on option. I went with Inno rack system that came off of my 2001 Galant. Just so happen they share the same model tower/clip. There, I saved some money.I have mine mounted for more than a year now. No issues whatsoever.
sadly i can only agree here haha it's a good thing i don't plan on doing any extreme off-roading but even then.. an 8-9 in clearance is barely enough for a peace of mind..
