    their is no kit specifically for the maverick.
    you can fabricate your own system. their is not enough room in the area above the differential for the proper length upper links.
    you can build a torque link or you can cut up the floor pan area to create the space for the upper links or do a 3 link set up.

    I`d go w/ a 3 link ladder bar set up,& weld a piece of 1 in. round stock between the frame rails above & a little behind the rear axle.Then weld some brackets to the round stock & your rear end housing for shocks to bolt to.My car is set up w/ cal-tracs w/ this configuration,29 in tire.your coil overs will end up needing to be about 12in long compressed,depending on your tire height,maybe a little shorter.
