I made some graphics for you. Compare the first graphic using the stock wheels along with a 25mm spacer, you get 25mm of additional poke obviously but you ruined your scrub radius. Now compare that with an 8.5" wheel with the same 37mm offset, you only get about 20mm of additional poke but you...
This is 1,000% incorrect......if you use a wider wheel which the BS has plenty of clearance between the inside of the wheel and the struts and shocks, you can effectively maintain scrub radius by using a wheel with the correct offset.
You're better off without spacers, not only do they potentially put stress on your wheel bearings which could cause them to need replacement prematurely but they change something called scrub radius which could adversely affect the way your vehicle handles under emergency braking situations...
All due respect but that's most likely tires and not the negligible half inch or so of ground clearance or even upgraded AWD system. I lived in a very snowy climate for a long time and never had 4wd or AWD and never had an issue as long as I had good tires. The standard AWD system is good and...
Someone on the Maverick truck club installed these with no issues, you might want to register there and ask them about their install, they installed the kit themselves and said they didn't have a lot of experience with suspension work.
I had $4k in damage from a medium sized tree branch falling on my hood and fender.....just my opinion but I'm thinking that's totalled. Glad you're okay
Should be plug and play in the sense that it will fit. I believe you will have to mess around with Forscan programming to spec the correct IPC among other things. Pretty sure you can't just plug it in and be on your way.
The Ford hybrid powertrain is efficient, especially in the Maverick with the updated Ford in house designed electric motor but it's still very crude when it comes to operation. Remember that with the exception of the new electric motor the 2.5 hybrid powertrain itself has been around for over a...
It's very easy to get to the secondary catalytic converter. JCR Offroad makes a really nice piece that would ward off would be thieves. It's also a lot cheaper than the $1k plus it would cost to replace that with an OEM cat.
This is good advice. I also roll down both rear windows for even better visibility for them and leave the front windows up just a little bit so that it doesn't seem like I'm trying to hide the fact that my front windows are tinted.
They're also sold at tunersports.com among other places. You can use coupon code SaveIn2023 at tunersports.com to bring the price down to under $260 shipped. Free shipping and they don't charge tax unless you're a CA or FL resident I believe.
We're number 1!!!!!
That being said, long time Ford owners know to pick a dealership that has free coffee, water and snacks since they're going to spend a good amount of time there for recalls.
It'll be much easier to install if doing it yourself plus the front struts are at least slotted for minimal camber adjustment and if you want to return to stock it's a much more simple affair. I'm not sure with durability considering it's made in china and seems very cheap for what it is. You...
I completely agree with this, it's just that many people purchase RC products thinking they are designed to take serious off road abuse and for a lot of their products, probably including the strut kit, that's really not the case. They just don't know and it's a you get what you pay for type of...
