2.6" Eibach Shocks Level, 295/60R20 Recon Grappler Tires, Fuel Rebel 20x9 Wheels

[derelict]

I've been lurking and reading here after picking up my 2023 XLT ER 2 weeks ago. Just got my truck leveled and added new shoes, wanted to share before and after pics.

- Leveled the front 2.6" using Eibach Sport Shocks in the front, keeping the stock springs.
- Fuel Rebel 20x9 wheels, gunmetal grey
- 295/60R20 Nitto Recon Grapplers

The Eibach shocks are great, they took out the floaty feeling in the front. The ride in general is rougher, but I don't think it is the shocks, I think it is more the tires. But overall I am quite happy with the level.

Nice Rig!
35” tires? Any rubbing? What’s the offset?

Looks great!

Thanks! They are 34" and no rubbing. Offset on these wheels is +20. I see some are using +1 which has a little more poke, but I am pretty happy with where these sit in relation to the fenders. I've only been driving with these for a few days so I am not sure what my range hit is yet, but I am anticipating probably 15-20% due to the increased weight and rolling resistance...

Looks nice!

What kind of cost to make the change - shocks, run, tires, etc? $5K?

That’s an accurate assumption. But hey. Who cares when ya have the supercharger network

Almost spot on... it came in just under $5k for the wheels, tires, shocks, alignment, labor, tax...

I have the eibach shocks as well, all around. Stock springs. SUCH a better ride! Did the front 2", thinking us just going up all the way to the 2.6" mark.

Any chance we can get the part number for the shocks

Looks great! I am also considering the shock upgrade to reduce/eliminate that "floaty" feeling.

Count us shocked by the beauty of that F-150 Lightning! Thanks for sharing!

I think your estimate of range loss will prove to be pretty accurate based on my experience with 285/60R20 Mickey Thompson A/Ts on 20x9 Fuel Vector wheels with +20 offset. People said I was crazy to do mods that so significantly affected my range. But I don't regret. As long as you're not overly concerned about energy costs, the only time it matters is when you're on a long trip. And even then, it's only in rare cases that the range loss causes a significant change to what you would do otherwise. In other words, it usually only means you have to spend a little longer at a DCFC that you were going to stop at anyway.

Here is a link to the ones I got:
https://eibach.com/product/E60-35-061-01-10?epsid=3316

When I walked in, I told them I wanted the RC 3" level that included the control arms. They recommended these instead. So I got 2.6" instead of 3", but my ride improved and it was half the price.
