Lightning Pro upgraded with Raptor suspension and full light bar -- drove it

[2wheeltraveler]

Dealer mannequin at Leif Johnson Ford in Austin, TX. Got to drive it, a much stiffer ride but overall really cool. They took it to a local rally track for testing and it performed really well even over a few small jumps.

They are still trying to get the light bar wired in, apparently the 12v wiring that is in the non-pro trims isn't present so they have some more work to do.

The fenders I like.....

It's interesting that you found it stiffer than stock. My Gen 1 raptor with King shocks rides like it's on a cloud, considerably smoother than my Lightning. I love the look of it though, even if the range is terrible.

I think I'd like a stiffer suspension. Mine is far too floaty IMO.

I’d really like to get the fender flares- anyone else out there add any?

My stock lightnings ride is full-size SUV-like with less body roll, the raptor swap brings it back to feeling like my previous trucks.
