i have a 04 lightning that looks like a 4x4 what kind of drop should i do 1/2, 2/4, 1/3 what do you guys think

 

i'd go with the hotchkis tvs system. i believe its coils, leafs, shackles, and swaybars.. i also think its 2/4.. correct me if i'm wrong?

 

My 03' had the monster truck look going also so I went with a Western Chassis 2/4 drop(2" drop A-arms/hanger and shackle combo that allows you to adjust from 3-5" in the rear).I think to get to 5" though I would have to lose a leaf spring since the 02' and below have 4 opposed to our 5. When it was all said and done I had 1.75" lower F. And 3.50" R.
I also ditched the stock shocks and went with the Doetsch Tech Nitro Slammers(not the other nitro's,blah).
This was all off of recommendation of a friend of mine since I was new to all this when I got the ride in Aug. I have heard good things about the Hotchkins TVS and Roush as well but for me and my set up I am very happy.
I have before and after pics in the gallery for referance. Happy searching.

 

I love the Hotchkis TVS... But I couldn't afford it.

 

ditto. If your looking for a level drop and not looking to spend that much money, the JLP 3'' Drop Shackles or the Hotchkis rear leaf springs are the way to go.

 

I just bought a new '04 L myself, and didn't like the ***-in-the-air look either. I installed the 2" drop shackles in the rear. Although it definitely improves the look, I have to say I was hoping for a little more drop. I guess 3" would have been better. So plan it out before you buy, so you don't have to do it all over again.

 

What do yall think about ground force.Im thinking about getting it i just want to regret it at the end.1/2 or1/3?

 

I have the ground force kit on mine. I'd like the rear a little lower, but I'm happy w/ it.

 

truck looks great!did you go with the 1/2 or1/3 and how does it handle?
