Better Handling

Hello Folks, I have a 02 Lightning and a good buddy of mine has a 03 HD. What can we do to his truck to get it to handle like my stock suspension Lighting. What are the differences between the 2 trucks ?

Thanks

Thank you both, a few other questions. What drop shackles ? Im unsure on the price of Bilsteins but assuming that Ford is proud of them as they are on most parts, Is there a cheaper or better option. Would we be better with QA1's ? Are the drop shackles going to drop the rear to the same height of front or lower ?


Thanks and keep the help coming
