So I've decided to keep my truck because it drives so well. Have new tires and rims being installed later this week. Now I'd like to do a leveling kit but everyone I called says there's no parts or kits yet. I know this new independent coil over type chassis is new but does anyone have a solution so I can get the front end up so the new tires can see some mud and two tracks.
Leveling Kit

What tires did you get, @Reitzy ?
Found someone that is using standard 2 inch spacer just like the gas trucks. I bought the fuel blitz offset wheels wrapped in the new Cooper Rugged Trek tires. Very little change in the ride and noise compared to the Bologna Rings from factory. Definitely noticed about 5-10% change in range. Lift next week!
... which is likely to add a bit more of a hit to the range... hoping you got the ER?
We are all waiting for the pics of the early modded setup!

Wanted to give an update here.. After 2 weeks with this bad boy, I love the truck and everything about it being an EV, coming from owning all past generations of F150s I am very happy with what they did here..
Range.. with the new tires.. in these 2 weeks and my driving habits etc, truck has adjusted and shows me I would have 270 miles on a full 100% charge, so I lost 50 miles with the leveling kit and tires, this is just considering those mods, maybe it was going to adjust anyways because of my driving style? who knows.. I drive a mix of highway at 75-80 mph and city most days just FYI.
I hope this helps anybody that has doubts about doing this type of mod on their lightning, please let me know if you need any specifics I would love to help.
Thanks!

Very good question.. Not at all, working perfectly, also BlueCruise works without a problem.
Also interested in lowering the rear. Don't need off-road capability, but want lower loading and lift-over-the-side-of-bed height.
Don't have a truck yet, but looking at some photos of the rear suspension, it looks like shorter coils (and corresponding shorter shocks) could lower it down 2" without trying too hard. Can anybody comment on lowering options for the rear?

Hey man, I was just thinking about what my shipped white Larait Lightning would look like keeping the stock rims and adding some 295/60R20’s with a 2” leveling kit, which lead me to your posts. Whenever you’ve got some time would you mind sending me some more angle photos? Thanks!!
