Finally got my lift kit, aftermarket wheels and tires installed this week, and I couldn't be happier with how great the truck looks. The more aggressive stance is exactly what I was looking for, and because the Eibach springs offer a 2-inch lift in the front and 1 inch in the rear, this kit levels the truck and offers increased front-bumper clearance/improved approach angle that is critical for my intended off-pavement uses.
I've posted a link to my YouTube video below, which has a lot of great info and some behind-the-scenes footage of the job being done at the shop. But I'll also share a summary and a bunch of photos here.
In terms of clearance, I went from 9 inches to 11 inches at the front bumper, from 11 inches to almost 13 inches along the side (centered between front and rear door) and from 15 inches to about 16.5 inches at the rear bumper. So, I think the end result was a full 2 inches in front and a bit more than an inch in the rear.
Also, when considering my clearance figures vs. stock, bear in mind the diameter of the Firestone tires I installed is 30.5 inches, compared to 28.5 inches for the Maverick OEM tires. So, that provides an extra inch of ride height ON TOP OF what the lift springs provide.
Enjoy the photos, and please LMK how she looks! Happy to answer any additional questions about the lift kit, installation, etc.
