No. That's impossible. And it causes severe camber issues. Lowering the rear requires the Icon camber kit.
Oh okay so you can’t just do the blocks like the regular F150. What’s the cost for a lowering kit for the rear. Does the front have independent suspension?

The only way to lower the whole vehicle is with the icon kit and that's roughly $10,000 plus labor.
Yes the front suspension is independent just like the rear except the front is easy to lower.
Honestly if you're not that familiar with how complex the suspension is on this truck, you shouldn't mess with it IMHO

Oh man okay I was just hoping to only lower the rear a bit. Is that a little cheaper? The stock rake looks awful.

I've done probably more suspension work on these trucks than anyone. You cannot lower the back without creating unacceptable camber. You could do a short strut like the belltech but MUST put on a camber kit

Wow that’s crazy. I may just put up with the stock rake then if that’s the case. That sucks. I definitely want to get the gloss black wheels though.

Salt air here on the Pacific Coast typically crazes chrome and some powder coatings after 10 years. I did our Adrenalin wheels with gloss black. Turned out nice and I expect to do that to the Lightning's if they succumb to weather.
