I’ve been installin’ lowered F150s on lightning rims here in Texas for years. Used L brackets for alignment—makes it solid. Just watch for the pinch weld because that’s a real pain to fix. Rollers help with leveling, too. It’s all about patience and precision, ya know?
Man, I’ve been grinding on this for weeks. I had my F150 dropped on a set of Lightning rims right here in Texas. Installed those bad boys myself after chatting with a buddy at the shop. He gave me wicked advice on wheel spacers and alignment, plus I had to play with the strut towers, y’know? Worked like a charm in the end, but grueling, don’t lie. Good luck, and don’t sweat the process too much!
In Toronto, I have this buddy who dropped his '15 F150 on yelow lighting rims. It’s slick but tricky. Gotta be patient. The right tools and a spotter are a must—trust me! Balancing everything so it doesn’t all go wrong in one go is key. Did it all on a Sunday afternoon too!
In my neck of the woods in Spokane, I’ve had buddies swear by a buddy for their F150 on Lightning rims. They say the trick is leveling first. I had mine lowered, and those rims were popping, but alignment was key, man. Had a pro check it so no lockin’ the rears, lots of fun on corners. I had 'em do a torque check too. Super solid ride, no wheel ding when pulling it in the garage. They saved me a ton of hassle!
I’ve been in Utah for a while, and man, let me tell ya, installing a lowered F150 with Lightning rims can turn that truck into a beast! I’ve watched a buddy go through the process; it’s a mix of excitement and pain, especially with those suspension tweaks. Remember to take your time with alignment, 'cause trust me, that’s where most folks mess up. Once done, it’s pure ride! It’s all about that street cred, am I right?
