I had a 2003 Lightning before this truck and I replaced the rear leafs with some older ones,My question is this..Will the stock 03 Lightning leaf springs fit on and or lower my new truck?I also have my stock shackles and after comparing them to the ones on the truck it seems they are the same exact thing.Thanks for any help or thoughts.

 

I know shackles are cheaper and easier to install,But I have the leafs sittin in my shop,Ide rather do a little more work and get rid of them.

 

I would think if you have the leafsprings right there, look under your truck and see if they are even close to the measurements, if they look the same I would try them. Strenght wise I'm sure they will be close because both where made for trucks in the first place.

On the other hand I don't know if it would lower your truck all that much because the lightnings rear end above the spring not under it?

I put 2" shackles on my rear but it isn't enough, I'm most likely will go with a flipkit.
