FORD MAVERICK 1 INCH LEVEL KIT INSTALL HOW TO

[@robapielo]

Did you have to do a wheel alignment after the leveling instal?

[@davidalexispr]

Can I have your review after all this time driving with the kit installed? I'll be installing mine soon.

[@jimrusch22]

Is interested to see how a 1” change can dramatically improve the look of the Maverick, not to mention the functionality of a little larger tire.

[@JifferRiffic]

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO.. I'VE ASKED TONS OF PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY SHOW ME HOW IT'S DONE. Will be copying.

[@DixyNourmes]

Can this kit be installed on a FWD Maverick ecoboost? since the back wheels aren't getting touched?

[@99shadows66]

I'm a little confused, you show how to replace the ABS wire bracket at 6:05, then you grind the OE strut at 6:49 then it's reassembled but I never saw how or where the 1-inch lift is installed? Did I miss something?

[@billmalec]

Watch the end, you'll see the lift plate on the strut.

[@gwlane5509]

The way it should have came from the factory! NIce job and it looks way better now! Does anyone know if this will work with the HYBRID models as well>? I have one coming late Spring. So much appreciate you making these videos on this new Ford model and how with basic skills, one can improve on an excellent platform!!

[@the305hauler]

Ford ranger lifts, has one 👌🏽

[@jaytee3565]

@@the305hauler any link for this? I'm looking for a inch lift for my fwd maverick. Do you know if this kit would work?

[@everittep]

Nice. Looks great with the bigger tires. Seems like an easy job.

[@kevinboger9531]

Was the level kit a 1 inch or a 1/2 inch level kit which I believe you were saying during the video?

[@Torahobservantisrael]

Did you have to take apart the strut like compress the spring or no?

[@bkc_edc]

Did this yesterday and both tie rods wouldn’t come loose. I was able to get it all back together with the kit installed accept for the sway bar. It’s my brothers truck and he’s going to end up having to drive it around the block to a tire shop and have them instal the sway bar and align the wheels. Also if you don’t have a grinder harbor freight has one for $20 that worked nicely for me. Oh and I NEEDED an impact to knock loose the sway bar bolt. Edit: Forgot to update that I was easily able to get everything in place using the jack under the control arm. And if you can’t get the tie rods out it can still be done with them connected. Just more strenuous.

[@BlakesCars2]

All you have to do to get the sway bar to fit in the hole is to get a second jack and jack the lower control arm up. It will work perfect.

[@bkc_edc]

@@BlakesCars2 You know what’s funny. I did that so I could get the wheel back on and didn’t even consider the sway bar. Thanks I’ll try it later.

[@rcppop3090]

I want to level my truck but I want to lower the rear end to the same height as the front end in its stock height. Does anyone sell a rear leveling kit?

[@matthewdefeo9565]

Can this be added onto the FW hybrid model, asking for a friend

[@BlakesCars2]

I’m pretty sure no but I’m sure someone will make one officially. I have a hard tome seeing how the hybrid would use a different setup

[@Spawn674]

Are those the stock FX4 tires?

[@jaytee3565]

Will this work on a FWD ecoboost maverick ?

[@the305hauler]

Yes

[@jaytee3565]

@@the305hauler thanks, ordering mine now 👍

[@cristianfmendez]

Good install video, as someone who does lift kits on all sort of vehicles befor you hammer on a bolt put the nut on the back end so you don’t damage the threads

[@4rr44E]

Thanks Blake. I’d like to add this same leveling kit to mine. But does it void the warranty?

[@fernie2700]

what tire size do you have?

[@mariaestherrivas4988]

Sorry it might be a stupid question but does this improve ground clearance (height)

[@joeshmoe8952]

Does anyone know if there’s a leveling kit for the Maverick Hybrid?

[@the305hauler]

Yes

[@davidsauve9042]

Looks good! Told you you’d enjoy it lol How do you like the ride quality?

[@BlakesCars2]

Not sure it improved, but nothing got worse. The extra ground clearance is a nice addition

[@davidsauve9042]

@@BlakesCars2 Do you find the steering feeling got light or a little numb?

[@BlakesCars2]

@@davidsauve9042 yeah it’s definitely lighter. But I think In a good way

[@BallsJohnson0509]

Did you gain any space with the wheel turned all the way in? I know in a previous video you were pretty much nuts to butts touching the wheel well

[@BlakesCars2]

I’m pretty sure I gained some room but have not verified

[@matthewdefeo9565]

Can you add a link for the tires

[@zackscott9862]

Whats the clearance with the bigger tires and lift kit? (Saw your other vid on the tires, curious if you gained any more room there)

[@kylefrachette6595]

How did you get your sway bar link back in place? Had lots of trouble with that

[@BlakesCars2]

It’s probably a two Jack type of job. So when you have one side in the air you literally take the jack and jack it so it pushes down and you are good to go.

[@waynewallace2061]

Did you need a wheel alignment after the install?

[@travishare11]

Yes.

[@the305hauler]

Absolutely

[@gmflash88]

After you grind the assembly you should be cleaning and protecting that bare steel.

[@joevrabel7374]

How about the back ones?

[@hc7073]

Isn’t it a 1 inch leveling kit not a 1/2 ?

[@rayderfn]

How much does it change your gas mileage

[@pi_is_awesome_3.144]

Will installing a leveling kit void the factory warranty? I'd also like to see how it effects fuel economy have the leveling kit and larger tires.

[@3SevenStangVids]

It will only void repairs that needed due to that modifcation. ex. If you blow a strut under factory warranty and have aftermarket strut spacers the strut will not be warrantied.

[@chava05]

It looks pretty good!

[@dennisporter753]

Looks great!

[@testing3166]

Looks good. Should get an alignment after that.

[@BlakesCars2]

Never got an alignment after it and have put 100,000 miles on the car since then and the tires still look perfect

[@jordangish6579]

Thank you for the Maverick video , thinking about getting one myself

[@billmalec]

Think I'd go for the one or two inch lift and keep the stock 'level' so once you get weight in the rear you don't lose steering weight.

[@cbrooks1992]

Could always install helper air springs in the rear coils. eTrailer has one for it that will level out up to 1000lbs

[@scupking]

Looks good but I would like a 1 inch lift all the way around not just the front.

[@mattmeyer5387]

that's why you do a 2 inch up front and a 1 inch in the rear ... levels it out then brings it all up 1 inch

[@chucklucas8747]

You need to fuild film your truck i have done mine no rust spots have used it to ship machines overseas that have been on ships for a month an never had a bad report

[@larry3476]

Cool,thanks

[@cesarbalboa5900]

the color of your truck is the area 51 ?????

[@the305hauler]

Yes

[@josephtucciarone6878]

Please edit this to show side by side with the same color unlifted for comparison.

[@baceandrews]

Why does car manufacturers do this, make trucks higher In the rear?

[@Ichibuns]

Because they're intended to be loaded in the rear. More space for load

[@baceandrews]

Pickup trucks maybe loaded 1 time in a 100 that much.

[@Mr.Meme01]

@@Ichibuns that and the trucks get better fuel economy/handle better when the front is lower

[@billmalec]

Because it's a pickup and meant to have weight in the bed at times. Now when he gets weight in the bed he will lose steering input because there won't be enough weight on the front tires(ie: can be dangerous). There's a reason they are made like this!

[@miller1]

Very nice.

[@GordonPotter]

You rock!

[@willrouse5767]

Completely didn’t show what people really need to see of actually getting the strut lined back up and mounted
