Looks great I ordered a 2” lift kit last week I’m just waiting to install it this weekend in the garage. Should be fun.

Does it affect handling? MPGe?

I basically made the truck less aerodynamic and added more rolling resistance. That's going to worsen the MPGe.

Similar trucks on various YT videos state anywhere between 10%-15% loss. There's a lot of variables there but it seems realistic based on my observation, which is not scientific in any way.

The handling is good, no issues, truck is quiet. More quiet than my R1T was or my Teslas.

IMHO EVs handle and ride so much better than their gas counterparts. And I have owned a lot of cars/trucks in my life. The F150 Lightning is no exception. Just a joy to ride in.

After test driving a Lightning I want a blue one like yours. :)

ICE vehicles also lose MPG which made me wonder. Sounds like an air ride suspension like on the RAM 1500 Limited is what is really needed. Down for highway, up for rough roads / off road. We should lobby Ford.

Thanks for the ride rating.

I bit the bullet and got one. I really wanted ET and the Max Tow package so settled for a white one. I'm going to get used to it before doing a lift or significant mods. Dash Can first....
