    I have a set of brand new Lariat takeoffs that I've professionally powder coated black if you're interested. They look *amazing* and should have come gloss black from the factory. Boxed up and ready to ship. Let me know.
  2. Beauty shots of my Lightning. New, fully forged Trex T-200 bronze wheels, ICON stage IV lowering kit, gloss black vinyl wrapped grill, other goodies.

    Honestly, it's a little bit of trial and error. I lowered it the maximum amount at first but the rear suspension was sitting on the bump stop. I did not want a rigid suspension so we lifted it up little by little. It's currently at a 3 inch drop right now in the rear. The front is down as far as...

    The camber was unacceptable even with a 1 inch drop in the rear. Plus the lightning is much higher than a regular F150 and since it came from a sport truck, I wanted to lower it both were looks and for handling. Since I'm gonna lower it, I wanted it to do it the right way so I got this kit...

    I'd never lift an electric truck. Considering that most people who drive trucks use them for daily transportation and the occasional light load/family hauling, it makes sense to make an electric truck as efficient as possible. Lifting it absolutely destroys efficiency, you can expect 10–20%...

    Not at all. That seems to be a common question. The fact is, the truck is designed to carry 400 pounds in the front which would lower the front, 1000 pounds in the rear which would lift the front, or any combination thereof. Ford designed the sensors to function widely under various loads, so a...

    no, that is definitely not something I would do myself. It only cost 160 bucks to have a professional vinyl wrap shop do it. You have to take it off the truck which is easy but it's a one day turnaround. Just link up with a local vinyl shop in your area and they will provide the gloss black wrap...

    I was getting that with mixed driving now getting 2.4 easily. Much better if I stay off the interstate but overall averaging 2.4.

    firmer and more confidence inspiring especially around corners. No more float. Feels like it went from a Suburban to a Challenger. And that torque!
  9. Anyone swap out tow hooks?

    Force lol. They slide right back in
  10. Anyone swap out tow hooks?

    Sure did. f150 tow hooks are all the same.
  11. Beauty shots of my Lightning. New, fully forged Trex T-200 bronze wheels, ICON stage IV lowering kit, gloss black vinyl wrapped grill, other goodies.

    between lowering and getting lightweight wheels, I get between 2.4-2.5 over the last several hundred miles of mixed driving.
  12. Any benefit to occasional 100% charge?

    No, and charging to 100% should be avoided unless you're about to go on a long road trip or about to haul/tow. With the warmer months coming up, it's best to charge to 70–80% and less if your truck is going to be in very hot temperatures. This gives the electrons "room" for excitability due to...
  13. Fender Flares installed

    Why? I mean it's your truck and you can do what you want of course, but I think most people on here will tell you that fender flares without wide wheels and tires seems a little overkill. To me all it does is increase drag while worsening looks. Hey it's your truck, enjoy it!
  14. 2" inch Readylift kit with KO2 35x12.50 tires on factory 20" wheels - Lightning Lariat ER

    Good looking truck but I worry that you just killed your efficiency. Lifting the front end of any F150 can have a 10–20% range loss. Lifting my ICE dropped my mpg from 21->17. Hopefully since the lightning is flat on the bottom it won't be that much but increasing the turbulence under the...
