    There's no such animal for the Maverick. It would take some major fabrication to do it.

    Somewhere I saw a kit for early Mustangs that looked like it might fit. It had a box-looking thing that you welded to the inbord front rail to relocate the front spring eye and a pair of offset shackles in the rear. Required a narrower gas tank. Never saw an actual Mustang using it much less a Maverick. You could alway just back-halve the car with a tube sub frame.
