Just did mine... Dropped the rear about 3 inches. It's about all you can do before having serious camber issues. Rides great though!

Can't wait for someone to come out with a proper drop kit for it... I want it lower!

How did you lower the rear? And what’s the specs on the vossens?

Used a Belltech adjustable strut with the OEM Spring

Vossens are 24x10 +25mm - 305/35/24 Nitto 4020V

Doesn't rub!

Looks perfect just like I want mine. I'll wait for the kit though.

Can you share the part numbers and process? Was this the shock that had to be cut and welded back together or plug and play?

Did you do the work or a shop?

Does it require an alignment afterwards?

Inquiring minds have to know!

Did you do the work or a shop? My Dealership did it.

Does it require an alignment afterwards? Yes you will want to check alignment.

Who knows since these just got done and are still prototypes. Pretty much we are still in the R&D phase but getting closer. You can probably look at the ICE equivalent and get an idea of cost/drop and reviews.

The front leveling kit I am running has been outstanding, it truly does feel just like stock, although there is still a bit of rake and efficiency has dropped slightly. But the bounciness from the stock suspension is gone. I am curious to see what the lowering kit will do.

I’d like an option for the rear only being lowered. Whatever is level, I’m guessing 2-3”.

I probably would want mine to look like the F-150 Lightnings on the Ford website Build and Price illustrations which appear perfectly level with the rear lowered. Or raise the front about 2.5" and put Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my stock Lariat wheels.

Drop off today for fitment on all 3 kits, getting closer!

I’m sure they’ll be posting pics soon, I too want to see it lowered although I opted for the lift. So far the feedback from them is that the lift rides and handles amazing. They should be putting on the lowering springs today.

 

[Strangatang]

That’s so excited. I’m def interested in the lowering options.

Lowered on Eibach Springs with Stock Shocks, I took a screenshot of Lightning specific content from Eibach’s Instagram
