PROGRESS LIFT Springs Installed

Had a customer drop over with lifted Maverick and he used the spacer and bolts kits that are cheaply available on EBAY and other places. The big issue with raising the Maverick up but retaining stock spring rates is that leverage on the springs is quite a bit more and the ride was soft and sloppy. Higher center of gravity without increase in rates made for a mess in a S turn road unless you drive it like an old lady. He asked if we can do better, and we figured we could do a lot better. So with our friends at Progress we have a set of prototype LIFT springs that are 20 percent stiffer than stock. Result drives more flat in the turns than the stock height Maverick, and quite a bit better than lifted Mavericks that retain the stock springs.

These springs will be ideal for those that wished they waited for Tremor package. Like the Tremor package we are about an inch above stock Maverick, nothing crazy. And with higher rate springs it actually handles more flat in the turns than a stock Maverick despite the higher center of gravity. It will be a few months before these springs reach production. We decided to use the same tire that Ford picked for their Tremor package, except we did one size wider.
