Hotchkis Lowering Springs????
I found some Hotchkis 1.50" lowering springs for my 03 HD F-150. I noticed the Harley springs are more expensive than the Lightning springs, about $5 more. Are they diff or what? I know its ONLY $5 but who doesnt like to save money!!! Will it fit if I purchased the Lightning coils?

harley trucks are heavier, so it would have to be a stronger spring to drop the 1.5" where the lightnings would be a little softer

pat is right, the harley truck springs have a different weight rating


YES, you can buy the lightning coils and they will bolt right in but it's worth your $5 to have the stronger ones

unfortuantly I've done countless hours of research on suspension parts and pitstain helped me out a bunch when I was building my street sleeper that would handle good and still tow a boat to the lake / trailer to the track
