FAQ
What is the KYB5640017?The KYB5640017 is a MonoMax rear strut engineered specifically for the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck. Its monotube gas charged design delivers up to 40 percent more damping than a factory twin-tube strut to handle the added battery weight.
Why can't I just use a regular F-150 strut on my Lightning?The Lightning carries significantly more weight from its battery pack, so this strut is calibrated specifically to manage that load, unlike a standard gas F-150 strut.
Is this a direct bolt-on or will I need adapters?It's a direct bolt-on replacement that installs in the factory strut location without modification.
Will this affect my ride height?No, it's designed to restore factory ride height rather than raise or lower the truck.
Does this fit all Lightning trims?Yes, it fits Pro, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum trim Lightning trucks.
Do I need to replace both rear struts at the same time?It's sold individually, but replacing both sides together is recommended for even handling.
Will I notice a firmer ride compared to the factory strut?The monotube design does deliver more damping force, so some drivers notice a slightly firmer, more controlled feel compared to the factory twin-tube setup.
How long does installation typically take?A single strut swap is usually a few hours for someone comfortable with basic suspension work, longer if you're doing both sides.
Install Instructions
- Raise the rear of the truck and support it on jack stands.
- Remove the rear wheel and disconnect any brake line or sensor brackets attached to the strut.
- Remove the upper strut mount nuts and lower strut bolts to free the factory strut.
- Transfer any factory mounting hardware to the KYB5640017 if required.
- Install the KYB5640017 assembly and torque all fasteners to factory specification.
- Reinstall the wheel and repeat on the opposite side if replacing in pairs.
