Keep in mind this is a 3 inch level! It’s not a spacer lift it’s upper control arms

Thanks so much. Have you noticed any impact on wind noise?
Not at all! A bit of tire noise if the radio isn’t on though

Nice setup. Is the range still holding? 10% less? I’m wanting to do the same to my platinum

Range still holding. 90% charge shows 202 miles. Dash says I’m getting 2.0-2.1 mi/kw

Any issues with weight of the lightning vs weight of a raptor? Can the wheels/tires hold it safely?

The tires are better rated for load than the stocks. I have a hard time finding the technical specs of the wheels but they are plenty for the lightning.

Probably a slim chance, but figured I’d ask - did you happen to weigh the wheel and tire before mounting it to your truck?

Didn’t need to! It’s 92 pounds per wheel and tire per the specs

I found a cheap set of Gen1 SVT wheels, snagged them for a similar set up and they just touch the caliper with .5 spacer :rolleyes: I'm guessing there's just the slightest of differences in the wheels from the ones you found to the gen1. It literally looked like a mm or 2...

Hello @Jml91 . Any chance you could tell me how high this truck is from ground to the top of the roof antennas? I am worried about this same setup clearing my garage.

Im thinking of doing this setup since my son has a 23 Raptor....test fitted and it def hit the tapered end with my calipers. I was torn between a 1/4 and 1/2" spacer so this might push me to go with the half. Curious if you have the max trailer package or if that will make it not able to fit as well...either way I have them here to test so figure why not.

I do have the Max Trailer Tow package, yes, and I have also heard that is a factor.

FYI, once I saw the weight limit specs for ICE F150 wheels vs Lightning f150 wheels, I decided to stick with Lightning-specific wheels because otherwise that inferior spec would be on my mind especially if ever towing/hauling/offroading
