2022 Ford F-150 Lariat
Just throwing my truck out there for people that are thinking about doing some of the same things. Truck is a 2022 Lariat 3.5 EcoBoost with a 3.31 rear. I have Eibach Pro truck 2.0 coilovers on the front and pro truck sport shocks on the rear (the package deal wasn't available when I ordered). I have 2021 Raptor Beadlock capable take-offs on it.

I scoured several forums looking for info before I did this. We set the front coilovers at a 2.5" lift. I have around and inch of rake front to back. I have no rubbing on the front tires. I will say the tire is close enough to the air dam that I may want to make a small alteration to the corner of it. My speedo was 2 mph off after the tire change which I fixed with a Superchips Flashcal (also got rid of the annoying honk when I took the keys with me as well as fog lights staying on with high beams). I do notice that my dynamic bending lights seem to be turned to the left a hair which I guess may have gotten bumped during the install. Also have OEM rear fender liners which I think helps the look. Really want to get rid of the air dam chin and put on some sort of skid plate and swap out my side steps to something slimmer. Tires do have more noise than the Hancooks. If anyone has any questions fire away. I'm really happy with the way it looks so far.

Looks good.
How does the ride with the Eibach’s compare to stock ?

I guess I’d say less like a boat… Definitely a better ride. I want to play around with tire pressure because I made such a huge change from the wheels and tires that it came with. I feel like I can’t give a 100% accurate opinion until I get that right.

One other update for anyone interested. My adaptive cruise and lane centering seems to work the same as before my level. Now just need to figure out my headlights.

I have the “dynamic bending” headlights and the seem to be off center to the left. My assumption is that something got bumped during the install. I need to figure out how to recenter them.

Looks great
I’ve also got a 502a Sport with 2021 Raptor bead locks. My truck learned the new tire size after a few miles and the speedo is perfect now. No tune required.

Cheers,

The front wheel sensors are probably reading higher with the lift?

I wonder what’s different? My Job2 truck came with the 20” sport wheels. When I first installed the Raptor wheels the radar speed check signs did show the speedo reading low. But, later that week the same signs displayed the same speed as the speedo. So, I also verified it with an AIM Solo DL ( Motorsports data logger with built in GPS).

Cheers,

What lift does the kit come in ? The site just says up to 3 inches I believe.
