2024 Maverick XLT Hybrid 2WD Bump Stops

[AlexKMaverick]

Hi everyone. Hoping someone might have a solution as I have been unable to find one. We have a 2024 Maverick XLT Hybrid 2WD that we use to haul around heavy loads full time. The truck sags heavily and we have been unable to find any bump stops to help. We reached out to Timbren and they do not have one for a Hybrid 2WD. I know there are some generic ones out there but not sure how to proceed. Maybe stiffer springs? Any ideas or product links are appreciated. Thank you. Alex.

Do you have a link to what you bought please? Thank you.

We have about 2,000 lbs in ours and it looks like a low rider.

You're about 600 lbs. over maximum payload then.

@AlexKMaverick I purchased an AirLift airbag kit from Amazon for my XLT hybrid. I bought it in preparation to move across the country while towing a uHaul 5x8 enclosed trailer.

But I ran out of time to install the airbags before the big move, so I didn't actually use them. But I have used the same brand before on another vehicle (a 2 door Jeep Wrangler) with great results.

The AirLift part number for the kit for FWD Mavericks is 60862.

Thank you very much.

Just don't. The vehicle is designed for 1500lbs load, including the passengers. It sounds like you're taking it waay past that loading, and are going to eat bearings and get lots of other unexpected failures. There are no Mavs that are built to handle that load, so you need to sell it and upscale to maybe an F150 at twice the price. You can add all kinds of doodads like airlift kits and stuff to stop it sqatting so much, but that's just hiding the problems like undersized bearings and only 5-lug wheels that means that you're going to have a lot of problems at those ridiculous loads.
