Lowering Kit options for Lightning?

Dropped the rear @ 3 inches and put her on 24" Vossen HF6-2 Hybrid Forged wheels.

Drives SUPER nice!

That looks great - how did you drop the rear? Does BlueCruise still work?

Hey Guys, belltech part number 25001 is bolt on for the rear and gets 3" of drop. Everything works as per factory specs except on board scales. There's a ridetech air strut that bolts into the rear for a 6" max drop, which is what I switched to now. Front is basically any ICE f150 lowering strut.

@GurmukhHundal what is the ridetch part number? How do you like the air shock?

I heard there maybe a camber issue at >3” drop on rear, did you have any issues?

ridetech says “vehicles weighing 1,500-2,500 lbs. per axle.” I would think this is not strong enough?

Great looking stance!

How big of a front drop did you do?

How did you fix rear camber issue?

Hey, there's definitely negative camber but the tire shop maxed out to minimize it.

Anyone know if the front and rear springs are the same? I have a set of front struts/springs off a 19ICE was thinking going bell tech 25001 and mounting the 19 springs to use on rear.

Any updates on this? I have several questions. You did the max 6" drop on the Ridetech shockwaves? How's everything holding up? Do you hit the bump stops and if so, how did you change them?
