Would love to also see a street touring type build with a lowered Lightning (akin to the original).

I probably couldn't afford to get a full on raptor swap like that, but when I get one I do want to get some 33's and upgraded suspension, maybe with a leveled suspension or something.

Cool video but I would love to see a deeper dive into what they did with the rear suspension. From what I understand about the front, it was probably mostly bolt on but the rear would have been a nightmare.

Probably the best EV platform to mod into a prerunner / off road is a duel motor model 3. Only 4,000lbs for duel motor and 3,600lbs for rwd. Not just that front suspension is a normal a-arms , and rear is multi link with long , close to center mount arms instead of this F150 baja bug style swing arm (which looks like it’s impossible to extend 3x3” without crazy wheelbase) . Also model 3 still has a steel sub frame to weld / modify not aluminum like a rivian. But ya biggest reason weight , and close to center mount pivots (more travel possible).

Nice 👍

Was planning on doing a lot of this to my lightning as well (once it arrives). And no surprise, it looks amazing. Looks like I know where to go to get mine done! And to answer your question from the description, yes, I think there will inevitably eventually be a lightning raptor... a Laptor? A Rightning? The name needs work 😂 Also its a pro but it has the front light bar, did they swap the grill with an XLT?

Hey Joseph yes we did swap the light bar in the front. We have a few more things to test but reach out to us when you receive your Lightning ⚡️! We call ours LightningR!

This is awesome! Were there any issues with the traction control in corners on dirt? I've read others on pavement complain about power reduction in corners. I haven't played with the traction control on my Lightning but curious if you ran into any computer traction issues etc... Ie. The computer being "too smart"

We swapped it out at the dealership, it does not work yet. But we have been working with aftermarket companies that will allow us to run external power to not just the light bar but other accessories like a winch, led light bars and more. It has been tricky but we are working on it!

I'd do a long travel kit meant for a raptor and end up with even more performance than a Raptor. I've got an all out built first gen raptor.

Camburg makes the narrowest LT kit and BMS the widest. ADV makes the best wide fenders and bedsides. I might do a EV swap into a 2011 when the 6.2 finally goes, but its still strong at 200,000. Truck has the HID Hellas on it that were on the Roush that ran baja back in the day. A silent wide body long travel 1G would be fun. @@LeifAutoGroup

And it'll probably won't be able to haul anything given how much more lightning weights over the raptor, which the latter already got a pity hilarious payload 🤣 And the range would drops to under 100 miles maybe? 🤭

do foresee anyway to fix or significantly decrease torque steer? Lifts like this on the Lightning are great for the dirt but it makes hard acceleration on the street downright scary:-(@@LeifAutoGroup

Very cool build, but calling a Raptor swapped vehicle seems a bit leading. Sounds like only a couple of OEM parts used. But again, super cool to see a Lightning rip around an offroad track.

Translation: 25% raptor swapped, 25% aftermarket and 50% custom fabbed.....

When fully charged battery depending on temperature the range is around the 230 mile mark. We did notice about 10% loss while driving but the regen system works well with the bigger radius of the wheels and tires. In freezing temps or below freezing we have noticed we do not reach the full 230 mile range.
