I don't know what TVS is, but I have the Hotchkis coils/leafs and sway bars sitting in the back of the blue goose as we speak. As soon as my QA1's get here. I'll be probably be doing another photo install this week or next weekend.

later,
chris

P.S. do a search under my name, there was a thread about this kit with alot of input within the past month.

Tampa or Superfords,

Do you know the load rating and weight of the Leafs?

All I now is it's a 2/3 drop and is a complete package.
Endlinks and Swaybars! Cost seems ok at 970.

Unless we are talking about two different kits, it is only a 1/2 drop on a lightning if I'm not mistaken. It is a 2/3 drop on a standard (non-L) F-150

I believe that it is rated NEAR 800lbs payload.

Hotchkis claims something like 85 or 95% of factory payload capacity is retained. However this is only on 99-02 trucks, does not apply to '03.

later,
chris

Thanks for the link,

I went with Western Chassis A-arms, Springs and Hangers.
Kit includes endlinks and all the small stuff. Will have a 3/4 drop, already
have the back lowered 2" with shackles.

I will report back later this month, gonna put some QA1's on when we install the kit.
Hopefully I can get over speed bumps at work. They tell me no
problem but we will see.
