Need recommendations on a lift kit.

Looking for lift kit recommendations for tremor. Budget 2 to 3 grand installed. Thank you

You could probably get the Budget Flatout coilover setup for that price installed. Otherwise you got several spacer manufacturers, a few individual spring options, and rough country has their loaded strut kits. I havent bought anything from them yet but I do want to go with flatout for mine. But will probably go with their spring and spacer kit.

I went with the Rough Country 2-inch strut lift kit and had it installed well within your price range.

I have the Black Appearance Package and determined that the 18-inch tire options are limited. Consequently, I bought a 17-inch wheel and tire package from Tire Rack (245/70-17 on-road all-terrain tires).

By the way, the BAP 18-inch wheels and tires will go on the new 2024 Maverick Hybrid XL we just picked up (see "Maverick Number Three" thread)

Although I have driven less than 250 miles since both were installed, I am very happy with the results.

I am waiting for my matching V-series A.R.E. shell to arrive before taking pictures.

only issue I can see with lifting it is related to CV axle issues that people have experienced as a result of the lift and the weak CV joints. Hope you don't run into this problem but it's something to think about as the dealer could deny any warranty work if the fault is determined to be the lift. I thought the Tremor already came lifted?

Why? The Tremor is already lifted.

Just don't lift it, until some stronger aftermarket CV joints are available. The factory ones at the back are stronger on the Tremor, but the fronts are the same as all the other models...

I just love lifted mall crawlers.

Don't, until someone comes up with stronger CV joints. Lift kits seem to take them past their limits and they regularly fail. You would think that new and stronger halfshafts would be a required part of any lift kit, but...

I went with the fordrangerlifts.com 1.75 lift kit made for the tremor. It does make the ride a bit stiffer. But I do really like the kit. I don't think I would go as tall on the tire size if I did it all over again. It rubs at full lock, but not very much. 235/75/17 Open Country tires.

The Tires look good at that size. Where do they rub, maybe a little trimming would fit it?
The Tremor has stronger CV's and lower gears than most Mavericks.
So far I have only seen posts about CV problems on Non-tremors.
There is one guy running 33" on his Tremor and he really is taking it off road too. So he will be the test case to let all of us know what the Tremor CV's can really handle or not.

More info on the build: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/prerunner-style-maverick-tremor-build-w-33s.40538/

Other trucks are running 32" but I think this is the first to go 33.

Your Tremor looks really good the way you have it set up.

I also have a Tremor(no lift) and I was thinking about getting some 235/75/17 for it but I don't think that is possible now if you have a lift and they still rub. That was basically what I was trying to figure out if I could get away with that tire size without a lift and wihtout issues. ]

I think you can do it as long as you are OK with it rubbing some. It rubs on the front and back of wheel wells and I don't think a lift helps with that too much. With all that being said, I would recommend just going down by one size if it were me. Also, look at the actual measurements of the tire you pick. Not all 235/70/17 or 235/75/17 are the same height. Plus, loading the tires with mud adds to the rubbing.
