AM I NUTS? I PUT A 3" LIFT ON AN F-150 LIGHTNING!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details the installation of a 3-inch Rough Country lift kit and new off-road tires on their Ford F-150 Lightning Flash. The process, performed at AM Ford with technician Mike, highlights the challenges of lifting an EV with independent rear suspension, particularly the need for custom upper control arms to avoid strain on the ball joint and spring interference. The video emphasizes the F-150 Lightning's truck-like modifiability, a key reason for choosing it over other EV trucks. The reviewer also discusses the selection of Nokian Outpost tires, chosen for their off-road capability, snowflake rating, and sidewall protection, despite being a compromise due to budget constraints. The installation involved replacing front upper control arms and strut spacers, and a small spacer plate in the rear to maintain geometry. The reviewer expresses gratitude to Rough Country and AM Ford for their support, underscoring the importance of qualified technicians for such modifications.
