I don't see anything preventing the struts from being swapped; all bolting points are identical and unchanged from 22-24. The struts should be a direct swap. FWD or AWD also makes no difference when strictly speaking about front struts, they're all interchangeable.

The Lobo struts are about $160 per side: SZ6Z-18124-E & SZ6Z-18124-F

Could also give the Bilstein B4's a look: 22-337375 & 22-337382

Lobo struts would probably be the better choice with Eibachs. Although, not sure how much of a difference you'll notice compared to your stock struts. Wallet will certainly be lighter!

I previously posted before searching but I did just notice that Eibach does not have specific lowering springs for the Lobo. Their 2025 LOBO page links you to the same part number as the 22-24 (which is now updated to 22-25) AWD springs: E10-35-057-02-22

I post all of this to say that you may very well not notice much difference, if any, swapping to the Lobo struts. Eibach is a very well respected company with knowledgeable engineers (one used to post quite a good deal on here, IIRC). And to me, if Eibach didn't feel the need to develop a Lobo-specific set of springs, the valving of the Lobo struts can't be vastly different from your stock (non-Lobo) struts.

Unless you really need new struts (or can find some Lobo take-off struts on the cheap) I'd personally pass on the idea. Per Ford, the Lobo is only lowered 1/2" in the front, and the Eibach's drop quite a bit more than that. The valving may be different, but if Eibach's engineers determined their existing springs to be a good match for both the Lobo and non-Lobo struts, I'd trust that.

I really love those yellow fog lights. Are those the diode set? I’m really considering getting those, they look great

this is why forum members and info is so much better then fb

thank you

Yes the are and though they are not cheap the light output is amazing, such well engineered lighting
