Love to know the significance and “translation” of 4seaer 2.

Guess we’ll have to get to know each other?

This styling does not look good at all to me personally, but I can see the passion you put into it and that is very cool. Nice truck.

Well, you win the prize for the most badass Lightning I've seen. ???

You should be arrested, prosecuted and banned from owning another Ford for this. What on earth!

Love the lowered look
What I would like to know is how does the lower ride affect the efficiency?

 

[hutchman]

Nailed it!

Wow, there isn't much clearance under the battery pan. Looks cool, but I'd be nervous running it that low. Avoid speed bumps

Love the light bar. I might look into that myself.

Rides at this height

yes, the 12 V battery is accessible and yes, the wrap does look better in person. I’ll try to get a better picture for you.

Does the light shine through the wrap?

Super interested in doing a similar project, but placing the tank and compressors under the bed where the spare tire is to maximize storage space.

Any major unforeseen obstacles that you ran into? Did you do height sensors or pressure?

Is that a 3 gallon or 5 gallon tank, and which compressors are those?

Thank you in advance!

No issues, I would not run the brain of the system from airlift (ALP4) outside of the vehicle where it can get water; that will be your only complication of running line and hose somewhere where that can be protected from the weather, 5 gallon tank. The compressors are Viair’s 444. The only real problem I’m having is with Universal Air’s suspension. I do not believe that their struts are built compatible for our vehicle platform. I think that they are under engineered because they are a universal strut for our 7000 pound vehicle that while practical for other applications at a lower weight, it is not for ours. they are working with me and in the process of trying to build me a set that is practical for this platform but I am paying for the R&D . I drive a lot of miles per day(150) and the suspension did not last me three months I had to buy another set from them with more dampening in it at my cost, not sure whether or not they will last another round. Have to wait until they come in and do the install, but the first set is rattling so bad that I do not even wanna drive the vehicle…
