I have a 2023 Lariat. They don't say lightning but I took a chance and ordered them. As I mentioned they take a little modifications to make them fit but nothing too difficult.

Would you be willing to post a side facing picture (specifically showing charging door) and overall fitment? I put a lift and my son's Raptor wheel/tire combo on mine and some flares would help...

Do you have a photo that shows the charging port?I just got my Lightning a few weeks ago and put these on.

I've got a white 2024 (Lariat) and I would really like fender flares, just for the look. I think the white would look better with that small piece of black trim.
The link just goes to the website. Do you have the actual model link or number?
Also, do you think they would work with the OEM mudflaps in place?

I am thinking of getting these for my pearl white 23 Lariat. I get alot of dirt up the side of the truck even though I installed the OEM mudflaps or maybe because I installed the mudflaps and it is causing some odd aero issues.
Anyhow, these do not stick out very far but maybe just enough to stop some of the dirt.
I called and american trucks said they should work(verbally after checking with others there) but they have a 30 day return policy if they don't so all I will lose is my labor I guess....

Those seem just about perfect-- very unassuming. I may pick them up as well-- if they will also work on the 2024.
I have the OEM flaps and I also feel like more dirt/junk is on there than from before they installed them.

Have you had a chance to install them? Would love to hear about your experience and see them on your truck if so!

I have been busy and have not got around to it yet...
I did purchase some "clear bra" sticky stuff to put on fenders before flare install...

Update:
Finally got around to going for an install.
Started with drivers side front.
Unboxed flares n hardware kit.
Took out factory 7mm bolt-screws.
Held flare up to fender n noticed the flare will not go down all the way to front bumper. About a 2"gap.
ICE F150's must be different in front or maybe that is how these flares are.
Oh well, on with install and I can decide if the "shortness" is gonna bug me after I get them on.
I am REALLY glad I did not start in the rear and finish those because the was no front inner brackets in the box which is what stopped my install.
The fronts get a bracket that attaches to the truck in factory holes then the flare attaches to that bracket and to some factory holes too.
IF the brackets WERE in the box, I would have least installed one side of the truck F & R to see how they looked but instead I said "never mind" and put the factory hardware back in.
I called AmericanTrucks and even though I was a few days past my 30 day return window, he sent me an email to send pics to start refund process.
That was nice(if it all works out).
Sorry.
