They are not bright enough to need adjusting :rolleyes: ! I never did and had no issues, but my setting was only a mild 1" level. Might be a problem with a heavy load and the back squatted. I don't think the headlights level themselves like the old HIDs in cars did.
PSA - My '22 Lariat ER that I traded in is available at my local dealer (North TX) for less than 80k. It has 10k mi, 80amp charger NIB, bedliner, tow tech, bfg k02, bilstein leveling kit.

Just saw this, the ride and handling are still very good, not harsh, but no more floaty and soggy feeling. This is how the truck should come from the factory. I think you could get close to the same results with just the bilstein 5100 shock replacement, but I liked having springs tuned for the...
My truck started doing this last week, 2-3 times now around 55mph. I won't be able to get it to the dealer for a couple of weeks. I tried to wiggle the airdam to jar it loose, but it did not help.
A couple of points after leveling my front with bilsteins ICE f150 kit. The floaty ride comes mainly from the front shocks weak damping. Replacing those can cure it, without adding any harshness, eibach can fix that.
Lowering the rear, the rear suspension semi trailing arm design has limited...
I get a bit better on ours, stock size BFG KO2 on stock Lariat wheels, small 1" level (bilstein 6112). Range loss is around 5%, efficiency while driving drops by 0.1 most of the time. The most telling is the projected range each morning after charging to 90% - after a couple of weeks it has...
Good to see the ICE spring charts also. Actually the spring on my truck, (Lariat ER) was .75 wire diameter, about 16".5" free length. Seems like its the same springs as platinums because of the big battery and many of the same options like the moonroof.
I was worried about the bilsteins...
After reading good reviews on the ICE forums, I decided to try this kit to get more control over the floaty, bouncy front ride. It works great, still a good ride, but flatter, and without the float. Seems to match the motions of the rear suspension pretty well now.
Height increase was not as...

The Fox coilover has height adjustment also. Both replace the factory spring with a stiffer unit, and increase the damping/shock control. They also make shocks without the springs, that have height adjustment, re-using the stock springs. That may be enough to solve the buick float on some roads.
Interesting that the platinum gets stiffer springs, is it really that much heavier than a Lariat ER? I am actually planning to stiffen the front springs and shocks on mine, with bilstein 6112 coilovers that come with stiffer springs and ride height adjustment. Made for ICE F150's but we know...
Also in Texas here, and the AC does the job, even in this 100+ heat, and sitting outside. The fans are very loud, also had them kick on while charging overnight in our hot garage. Woke me up, wondering what was running in the house. It only lasted for about 30min, but the charging and outside...
That combo looks good to me. The +18 offset would help reduce the chance of rubbing and trimming. The other truck posted recently had +0 offset wheels, about 3/4" more poke to cause clearance problems.
Based on the Ford support link above, I've had ours set to 90% charge overnight. In my wife's normal driving that starts her day with around 250mi of range on a Lariat ER. She uses around 25-30% most days, and it takes around 3-4hrs to charge overnight @48A.
