Thanks for the kind words! I decided on the raptor skid plate after nothing more than eyeballing the truck and tow hook location along with comparing photos found online, plus I found a cheap skid plate on FB marketplace nearby. I'm confident that it could all be done much easier another way but...
Thanks! And thanks for keeping things similar enough that I could fit the raptor skid plate with relatively minor effort! I usually prefer the look of repurposed premium OEM parts and this is no exception!
Still a work in progress but I'm rather pleased with the progress thus far! It has taken more trial and error than I care to admit to get this 2022 Raptor skid plate fitted to the Lightning! The range impact has been substantial but this obviously isn't a direction one takes if seeking to...
The belltech 25001 struts is literally the whole part list.
Give Atlantic Built a follow and watch his videos on his work to the lightning. He does a better job explaining the process and his rational better than I can. https://youtube.com/@Atlanticbuilt
I followed the recipe the YouTuber "Atlantic Built" provided. Although his lightning is a few inches lower. So far all I've done is install the belltech 25001 struts in the rear for a 3" drop. The springs don't need much compression for the install so I used a harbor freight single action spring...
First lowered Lightning in Oklahoma (completely speculating and could totally be wrong)
Still much more to do but this was a huge change and I love it. New wheels and tires will go on eventually.
If I was really going to sell you'd have first dibs but they don't take up much space so I can mentally justify keeping them even if I'll never reuse them. Now once I pull the trigger on new wheels I will definitely be looking to sell my lariat OEM wheels and tires.
I've been wondering what I'm going to do with the letters I pulled off the bed and after seeing your link, selling them at $100 for each set sure looks appealing!
Those are my bedside letters I pulled to ceramic coat the paint. I generally prefer a de-badged look but I think I really like the look here
You can still claim credit for having the idea first!
I'm sure there will be mixed feelings on this but I had to try it out just to see. Nothing even close to actually done or even measured. Only a visual experiment but I think I like it...
While I think the leveled lightnings with some all terrains look great, that isn't the direction I intend to go as I plan to lower it about 2/4 or so. As suchI 'm a fan of the look they have on the ICE F150 for a front splitter and side skirts.
I think I've seen a thread for every other week before and after this week... I hope I'm not the only one this week waiting to see that in production bubble turn green this week!?
I would also love a replacement Ford emblem for the front that lights up with a lightning bolt.
Precut light bar tint
Precut light bar vinyl cover with "LIGHTNING" negative cutouts so that the letters can be seen through. Offer this in paint match colors.

My 23 ER Lariat is scheduled for build week 2 Jan, just got my window sticker today and it shows removal of heated steering wheel but clearly states rear sliding window with defrost. I can get behind the idea of just waiting for the dealer to install specific features at a later date to get...
