Hello! I have been switching parts from one maverick to another and while doing the rear bumper swap I found these parts that I wasn't aware of. They look to me as "lower rear bumper fillers" and they sure are but the questions are: Are these aftermarket? Are they part of the Grabber spoiler? I also noticed that the bumper brackets are different, pushing the bumper back a little more than usual. I attached a picture of the car and another where I sort of found the same pushed out rear bumper.
Interesting! So any '73 right? I ask because it had a Grabber spoiler when I bought it, but I removed it before I took the picture.
Whats interesting is that we bolted the 72 bumpers with the 72 brackets right onto our 73 and it's a great fit, only the most discerning eye would notice it, take a look View attachment 92712 View attachment 92712
are those aftermarket shakles on the the leaf springs and if so do they really make a difference in how the rear end of sits in height
I honestly don't know, the car's suspension is as the day we brought it home, also under there are coil overs on the rear, I don't know what brand or anything else other than I was surprised to see coil overs back there, I'll snap a pic soon and post for ya'll pros to figure out
one thing that crossed my mind since you mentioned the shackles is maybe the leaf springs are weak in rear and shackles were a first attempt at gaining back some clearence then the coil overs pushed it on up
Ya usually shackles are the cheapest fix for sagging leafs, I was wanting to put shackles under mine for the time till I can afford to buy the 4 leaf setup
