First lowered Lightning in Oklahoma (completely speculating and could totally be wrong)

Still much more to do but this was a huge change and I love it. New wheels and tires will go on eventually.
How did you lower it?

I followed the recipe the YouTuber "Atlantic Built" provided. Although his lightning is a few inches lower. So far all I've done is install the belltech 25001 struts in the rear for a 3" drop. The springs don't need much compression for the install so I used a harbor freight single action spring compressor. The process was MUCH easier than when I did the top perch mod on the first gen raptor I had at the time.

Picked up a set of platinum take off's for my XLT. Always loved these wheels and they really match silver well.

Could you give some more detail on this rear lowering? Parts list? etc?

The belltech 25001 struts is literally the whole part list.

Give Atlantic Built a follow and watch his videos on his work to the lightning. He does a better job explaining the process and his rational better than I can. https://youtube.com/@Atlanticbuilt
