I agree 100%, I had a Rivian R1T at launch. You need a degree to wrench on that thing.
For the suspension, your building a more true off road set up, I agree the Eibach wouldn't be ideal. Have you looked at Bilstein 6112's? Also ARB now makes a sweet front shock for the Ice trucks that should...
I appreciate that! I wish Ford had continued developing this truck and given us a true off road trim from the factory. It's such an amazing platform.
Against my better judgement I'm going to mess with my current "efficient" tire/suspension combo. In July I'm going to go install the Eibach...
Your welcome! The raptor/tremor OEM running boards mount up same as the factory lightning running boards. The brackets bolt up under the cab. Not frame mounted. Infact if you have the factory boards on your truck you can leave the mounting brackets in place. Just unbolt the boards from the...
Tip for the eBay listings, make sure the 2 bumper mounting plates are included. Lot's of them available don't include them. Look at the pictures of the back side and look for plates with 3 bolts sticking out. Example below.
As for the skid plate it was not a simple bolt on for me. I had to...
The there's definitely room for a light bar. But the opening is not as wide. I had a 22 inch light bar in the lightning bumper, it wouldn't fit, too wide. There's also no plastic box in the opening to mount the light bar. I think the best route would be to buy a kit, there's a bunch out there...
Swapped out for the tremor modular bumper. Should fit Pro and XLT with 4 parking sensors. No dents, some paint chips. No lower chin spoiler, active aero, radar, parking sensors, or wiring harness. Avalanche gray. Has PPF film applied. Local pick up only, Los Angeles area. Price 450.
Beat me to it, the Lightnings head light and tail light shape follows the previous gen Ice trucks. This was one of the things I hoped would change to match the current ice trucks if Ford did a mid model refresh on the lightning.
Thanks! Hard for me to believe it as well. I'm planning on keep it till for a while so figured what the hell. Next up is the shocks, I want to get a set of fox or Bilstein 6112's. After that I might move up to 35's once these tires are worn out. I think they had a plan for this type of trim...
So after living with the install for a week I think the bumper needs some adjustments. It's fine as is but would look better if it was pushed forward about an inch. I found a bumper spacer kit, link below. As it is now you can't install a light bar on top of the bumper. The upper valance is in...
Wheels are TRX T200, they are not cheap but are 29 lbs and rated for 2456 lbs each.

Tires are Nitto Recon Grappler AT size 275/65/R20. Works out to a 34 inch tire. I went with the SL rated, lower weight, 48 lbs each.
Combined tire and wheel...
Thanks! I'm happy with it. I would love to throw 35's on it but my efficiency is around 2.1 to 2.3 and I don't want to make it worse. Here's the light bar I'm thinking.
