THIS IS HOW THESE TRUCKS ALL SHOULD HAVE COME FROM THE FACTORY, night and day difference in looks, actually looks like a mean little proper truck now.

[@killertofu]

Looks wise, yes. Safety wise it would be stupid for them. Hence why they say if you want it, you gotta do it

[@s2knott]

@@killertofu What does this have to do with safety?

[@killertofu]

@@s2knott these suvs with beds aren't meant to be lifted hence why you have to sacrifice safety components to actually achieve a lift

[@beexiong2995]

You mean, a real truck? Lol

[@johnbaber9660]

Nice Wheels are they fx4 ford wheels.

[@-Dwight-Schrute]

Also, you need to trim the lower inside edge of the shocks because they will rub/cut the axle boots. It may look fine under no load but on the ground after you've turned the wheels that will be a problem.

[@rickey5353]

Looks great, guys.

[@beexiong2995]

Next week. CV axles rip. Dealer denies warranty for lift.

[@-Dwight-Schrute]

Those bolts were splined that hold the knuckle. He shouldn't spin them. Just knock them out.

[@URBANAMERICANTAC]

Nice install

[@markmaurer1271]

It definitely made the truck look better.

[@Motocarr]

Era pra vim umas dessas para o Brasil..mandaram bem uma baixa para um país que grande parte das Strada sao esburacada..vai raspar em tudo .imagina vc raspando um carro novo e caro ..chegar dói...vcs estão de parabéns com as modificações nas suspensões.

[@Arthurian.]

What were these expected to cost in in Brazil?

[@grizzlysquad9171]

Had a company say they had to drop subframe to install the kit I didn't see them drop the the subframe smh they tried charging me 3k for it I installed it myself lol great video

[@MrRtHemi]

Awesome 👌🏼

[@mathewg1747]

nice work. what was the tire size?

[@markjrosenblatt2095]

Why didnt you show the compressing of the spring for reassembly? We had a hell of a time getting it compressed enough to fit the end on with the new part.

[@Alejo519]

From Cjimw u could talk about the problems arising with the cv axle. Lot of People talk bc tha car been lift, other also happening in oem model. I did only the leveling in front with rc 1" and also change wheels only TO 235 65 r17 same as the tremor New model.

[@travislivengood7443]

I'm glad theres no scrubbing. I don't want no scrubs.

[@ChoozeOneOfficial]

Grind down strut edge??? Did u guys did that part?

[@mr.steve1357]

I'm curious about how the lift would affect the Drivetrain, and if there are any modifications to beef up the drivetrain to handle the lift

[@user-tg7ht4cb8d]

This was done to a maverick I bought. I am wondering if you experienced a clunk when hitting a pothole or on a rough road. I am not sure what the issue is, but it is annoying. The tires also rub the inner fender when turning

[@lsutigerphan5218]

Is all this work required for the Tremor just to change to a taller spacer?? Seems like it would be cheaper not to get the tremor, just the fx4 if the same work will need to be done.

[@DirtyBeatzMusic]

Do the axles need to be upgraded?

[@antoniopadilla3282]

Hi, I have the maverick hybrid xlt can I do this kit with my maverick

[@briareoshino6323]

Should I instal front end 1.75" lift on my 23 maverick tremor

[@eliaaronoct]

Can you tell me what size tires you went with

[@larzlarz1140]

Looks like a lot of work. How much does this type of install cost?

[@DrewVerdin]

Do you feel confident that 31in tires would fit without rubbing? I know 32s require trimming

[@SuperchargedJester]

What tire size was used?

[@sam5333]

Actually I want to know how much is it to lift 2inchs? I have no idea of a truck lifting before.

[@mattmccallum2879]

Does the kit include hardware to allow for enough camber adjustment once the kit is installed to get the camber back within spec?

[@josephs1752]

Cute

[@nymincho]

Before and after pics?

[@richilandeo1]

It looks awesome but honestly is it worth lifting a Hybrid fwd? If so does it void Ford warranty? Thx for your input

[@owens945]

its an XLT with the FX4 off road package so its a 2.0 turbo 4 with AWD so yeah its worth it. The 2.0 turbo engine with AWD will do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds so might be fun for rally type driving.

[@DanTurano]

Please update with what size KO2s you went with for this buid.

[@TreyJustice]

I would like to do this to mine. What is total cost and time ?

[@cyuan603]

I would like the tires a little wider, I wonder if it'll have any rubbing with 255/70-17

[@killertofu]

One guy I know used 245 70 17 with his lift and he said he can feel the stress from those size and he recommended use smaller then what he used until they make new suspension parts to support the lift ( sadly it doesn’t stop there, the fact is this “truck” is not meant to be lifted) RIP maverick

[@ryanbrown5666]

I’m going with 265 45 20

[@anthonyhurtsr9765]

How much will this costs

[@williamguillIII]

I didn't see a single torque wrench used on any of the bolts or tire lugs. Is this the common practice today with mechanics? Loved the new look of the lift/leveling kit with the new tires. It looks better than stock ride for sure.

[@Oh6Torch]

Exactly my thought whenever he reinstalled the huge wheel nut. Those nuts have a stamp steel casing that is one time use. At least they had them on the last 3 Fords I’ve worked on. Two being my personal vehicles. Not sure why he didn’t torque ANYTHING on this install.

[@rickysiebert9618]

Broke the square drive from a 1/2” Craftsman breaker bar trying to get the lug nuts off my son’s Mercedes. I guess “mechanics” these days just pull the trigger on their impact wrenches, and let ‘em eat!

[@ItMeDwaeji]

​@Gerardo Lira there's no reason to even remove the axle nut

[@Howardhandupme]

My thoughts exactly. Not one torque used. As a mechanic, this was hard to watch. And no one ever removes top of strut first. How dumb can you be?

[@KK-vu3vo]

I see the Rough Country 2-inch lift kit for the Ford Maverick runs about $200. What then is the cost to have it properly and professionally installed?

[@sparta139]

I called a local shop of mine. They quoted me for about $850.

[@rogerdodgerrips]

@@sparta139 I’m looking into getting this truck, but only if I get a lift on it. Here in Michigan I need it to go through some deep snow so need that clearance

[@jessejones9831]

Was the axle nut removal necessary?

[@Sraindl1]

I was noticing the same exact thing.

[@alvarodeurquiza]

I've opened the comments just looking for that, i dont understand why they remove this nut...

[@kterlop]

what size tire did you upgrade to?

[@fatbikerjoshakyjoesproduct9377]

245/70R17s I believe.

[@estefanorossifacchini6919]

What is the tires measured?

[@jimlascola]

He needs to invest in a Tie rod Fork... I was putting in Tie rods at 15 years old in the 70's lol otherwise good job

[@alexislaberge8293]

Is it possible to lift a Maverick fwd hybrid?

[@TheJiggs666]

Rough Country does not make a lift compatible with the hybrid, at the moment.

[@jayy24195]

How much does it cost to do it yourself?

[@wildandliving1925]

Lift kit about 200=400 bucks. Then alignment at a shop 160ish. Rough country or readylift. Ready lift costs more but is slightly better quality

[@josehinojosa4104]

Fordrangerlifts.com $625.00

[@russtheman9755]

What's the reason for removing the axel nuts? Maybe if you actually showed more of what you're doing and less telling what you're doing would make that clear.

[@K.BERNARDO]

I was wondering the same. There’s no reason to remove these.

[@Unimportantrichard]

Came to the comments only for this. There was 0 reason to remove them.

[@marcogutierrez1506]

man.. how much is the total cost for this upgrade?

[@hughmungus2624]

Kit alone is $150 on their website

[@jorgesedeno5720]

Does the 2 inch lift damage any other parts on the vehicle faster because of the angle

[@enacku]

definitely doesn't help out any other parts of the truck

[@jorgesedeno5720]

@@JP-ec9rl is there a lift I can do to my maverick that you recommend or just stay away from it I want it to be hassle free

[@sam5333]

@@jorgesedeno5720 yes, I have the same question

[@lucasfreires5623]

On the same boat here, @jorge. For the JC Lewis, did you guys notice any change on the car's stability after the lift?

[@MrRtHemi]

@@lucasfreires5623 same kit and no change to the ride.

[@vmac5421]

That’s cool but honestly I wouldn’t do this just for bigger tires I rather buy a ranger that’s honestly better off-road anyways but still this awesome makes your mini truck look much better

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Agreed, however the Maverick Tremor is coming. Lets hope Ford adds the Bronco Sport LSD at least, to go with the slight lift.

[@shady80s22]

@@TheBeatenPaths they did but it only tows 2k with 1200 lbs. payload. Not very good imo

AND AT THE END OF THE VIDEO YOU SHOULD ADD BADGES THAT SAY RANGER.

Reinstalling the axle nut with the impact does not inspire confidence.

[@Sally-nd5pc]

Hi, how can i contact you about the business cooperation?

[@driftx2]

Why would you want to lift it? I dropped mine 2 inches and it looks killer!

[@bobwright5253]

Do you have 2wd? Folks don't purchase FX4 to just stay on the asphalt.

[@peterrabbit2719]

When you can’t get your questions answered, it’s not worth taking his advice.

[@sakaryaalper]

but whhhyy????? :D Why not go for a ranger?? :) why are you killing that good 45mpg? it's a sedan replacement truck not one to abuse at the trail

[@slickdj966]

Rangers are substantially more expensive while also being a outdated style. People aren't lifting hybrids lol, they are lifting the eco boost awd models. I also believe people aren't lifting them to offroad, but more for the look.

[@killertofu]

This car truck ain’t meant to be lifted. Rip suspension and drivetrain. Reminds me of when I see folks lifting their Jeep Compass or Jeep Patriot, like these vehicles is not meant to be lifted. This isn’t a regular truck or wrangler or bronco

[@bobwright5253]

Then pray tell why Ford lifted the Maverick Tremor?

[@pooperscooper8791]

They just stopped making videos lmao

[@cybertrk]

From 48mpg back down to 20mpg… I don’t think people realize how sensitive these high mpg vehicles are designed.

[@BloodySoup74]

This isn't the hybrid model. It'll lose about 2-3 mpg depending on tire size

[@Anthony-rp3qh]

Lmfao. Fx4 is turbo / gas only

[@jameshaney8061]

And where did you get 48mpg?

[@BoostedMaverick]

Mileage smileage whatever people, be boring and conservative but why jump in on a customizing video for performance and or utility and cry about mileage 😂 find another video and knit a sweater or something 🎉🎉🎉🎉
