Lightning on Fox Shocks, Nitto Recon Grapplers, Fuel Wheels and w/ Go Fast Camper

[Oneand0]

Those Rims on the Bronco are sweet! What brand model? I wish I had a hard top to put that tent on mine.

I’m heading to overland Expo in Bend, Oregon to look at the Scout Campers in person, just to make sure before I put a deposit down on one, for my Lariat.

Yes they are the Recons in that size and thanks!

I actually lifted the front end with proper Fox coilover shocks as I am not a fan of “puck” style spacers. If you check out my Instagram pages you’ll see I manufacture preload collar lifts for the new Broncos and have videos showing how bad pucks are.

Even more interested in knowing about the shocks you selected. I thought because of the additional weight of the F150L we couldn't use the traditional ICE F150 parts. That's great to hear!

My driveway will be looking like this in a few short weeks when my XLT arrives!!! Love the look of the Bronco and the Lightning next to each other, the perfect complement to my wife's gas guzzler!

is it easy enough to recalibrate the onboard scales with new tires and suspension? looks great btw

@Dirt Tires & Donuts Can you please share the clearance after the changes you made?

 

[bp299]

Did you only change fronts? Any work to the rear?
Did the Fox shocks level front for enough clearance-no rubbing?
Pls share Fox part#s
Did they solve the mushy, wallowing front end and pogo action after high speeds dips?
Are the wheels 18x9's?

Will 17 inch wheels fit?

I am really curious to see the range impact of a GoFast / AT Overland pop up shell.

Thanks! They came and shot this over the entire day as I put this Lightning build together.

I think a lot of us are very impressed with the work you've done on the truck.

If you could please share the part number for the fox shocks you used, it would be great as it will help others build their trucks as well.

TIA!

Just thought i'd show everyone what we put together at our shop Dirt Tires & Donuts Garage in Park City, UT

I watched the video this morning, it's a sick build! I still felt a bit horrified when they started cutting into the bumper and cutting out the front crash protection to make way for the new wheels. That being said, I love this whole setup and wish I had it to take camping haha

Sorry I’ve been slammed lately in the shop and have a hard time finding time to get back to the forums to catch up. The part number is 985-02-146

Here’s the link to Fox:

Are those springs heavy enough for the Lightning's extra weight? Are they just the ICE F150 application or heavier spring rates? Did they eliminate that front end wallow/float?


I just ordered these because they allow you to use your stock springs and adjust preload 0-2 inch heights.

This looks fantastic and I’d love to get the shocks. front and rear the same?

 

[joesrepsol]

Was going to do the same thing, but seeing your build cements this Fox suspension parts list! Love it. Just picking out wheels/tires still… such a difficult decision!!!!
