Lifting a 2022 Ford Maverick FX4 

There are a lot out there, check Google

Lol nice!!!

Just go buy a Ranger if you wanna sit higher. You'll get the same ride height and not void your warranty and ruin your suspension geometry.

@@stylin60es Not unless you get the hybrid. But then you can't have AWD. I'm getting about 25.5mpg in my maverick, and that's a lot of highway driving. Meanwhile a ranger is only rated a 3 mpg lower with 29 vs 26 mpg. So why didn't I buy a ranger? Well a similarly configured ranger was $44k OTD vs $30,900 OTD. By that point, how much more to get the F150? the 2.7 EB is also rated at 26 MPG and the 3.5 EB is supposedly 24 mpg, and those are in full size trucks. The ranger makes no sense unless you don't want something as small as a maverick or as big as an F150. That's literally the only way to justify the purchase.

@@heroofharo and I totally agree the Ranger makes no sense (now that the Maverick is here). They should just lift the Maverick and be done with it. Anybody who needs to tow more should just get an F150.

Hopefully next month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks for watching!! And totally agree!

@@ChaseGentry I can't believe how good my Jeep (4 wheel independent) handles even after a lift. I went up two sizes wider (to 265) and it almost handles as well as it did before the lift. I can still drive it really hard and it's nowhere close to rolling over , etc. I'm pretty sure I can't drive a Wrangler like that on the street. I can do 80 mph + on the interstate... No shake, etc. Rides like a Honda Accord, etc. No I don't drive that fast but I've passed someone going that fast , sure. No issues.

@@off-roadingexplained8417 sounds like a well built system!

@@ChaseGentry I added a strut tower brace also. Highly recommended for on road performance. You can probably get one for yours also. The steering is ridiculous. I should have put a strut tower brace on every car I had.

Yes

😈😈 it’s a 2023 project😮‍💨 almost done with my shop 😉

31” is max in my opinion.

I’ve got 265/65 17 on mine think that was a 30.6” tires rub on a sharp turn but otherwise no rub. Mostly because of the tire width not the tire height. Width is about a 10 but not quite.

@@holycow8233 I believe a 245/70 r17 is equivalent in diameter, so maybe a set of those won't rub so much. BTW, 10 inches equals 254 mm, so it is like a 10.5" wide tire (10.433" to be exact)

Thanks for watching!

Lol 😂 I idk it wasn’t mine

🙏🙏🙏 thanks for watching

Good point kit seemed legit though tbh.

😂 we didn’t actually Mount those but your correct

So far so good!

Definitely

Due to the way the lift is engineered there’s no way to keep wheels in same place with this specific lift However it would affect it negatively .

That’s is weird

FX4 comes with 225/65R17 Pirelli Scorpion ATRs. You can upgrade to the machine face aluminum wheels (FX4 not required, just AWD XLT or Lariat) and those wheels come with 235/65R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3s

Thanks

To my understanding a 31 is max tire size and a narrower tire is ideal

@@ChaseGentry yeah it looks like that’s true. Hoping I can trim a little of the strut plate where the spring sits just enough to clear it

If you want a real truck tire you'll have to buy a real truck first. I don't hate the mavericks but they are what they are. They are literally a crossover mini truck.

@@canyonero2050 sound like a hater to me

Yes

Nope there’s no reason to check them. Truck had under 1000 miles.

Did lifted my Maverick and put a big tires under 800 miles good thing I check the next day. I was able fix it right away.

Yes

No 🤘🏻

@@ChaseGentry Thank you some say it did that's why I was asking just curious thanks again

@@billcurry8982 adding larger tires would but it would be very minimal on the specific vehicle just lifting it

@@ChaseGentry I was thinking one size up A mile or 2 I wouldn't care that much still would be around 25 with my 2.0

I recently asked this at the dealer. Whatever you change on the truck will only cancel what you change. So if you add the lift kit, then they won't warranty that if it breaks. Pretty reasonable

Stock back on the truck

I don’t really know but knowing how that thing doesn’t make a whole lotta power probably getting 10-15 now

Same thing I was thinking. I live in Northern Illinois, and I did a road trip in June 2022. I was in St. Louis, Nashville, Owensboro and Louisville, and I saw four Mavericks the entire trip. I saw even less of the Santa Cruz. I hear Ford and Hyundai can keep up with demand. I assume Texas and California are buying them up, because I don't see them. 😆

What’s the joke …

@ChaseGentry After about a gazillion internet reviews extolling the virtues of these two "trucks" where are they?

@@MilkMan608 They are all sold out. The 2022s sold out after a few months and the 2023s sold out within just a few days.

They’re very common on my area. I guess it depends

Lol cuz this I platform is cheaper than ranger

Lifting a Ford Focus sounds like a solid plan.

Better gas mileage, cheaper platform, about everything you need without anything you don't. I just bought one myself. 2022 Ford Maverick XLT FX4 4k towing.

@@JWill6969 congratulations!! 👊🏻👊🏻👌

Stars are always top left corner

As your concept of "america" or u mean the u.s. flag? Never seen the continental flag before... just saying

@@100obed1 Congrats, you’re that guy.

😂 🎣

Not my truck and I usually voice warranties too 😂

Not everybody cares
