She's right those front tires are 29.5" tall so they look like they fill the wheel well.

You did get my e-mails right Jim?

 

Which address did you send them to...Im at Sales@teamjdm.com

Are these practical for a semi daily driven L?

I am by no means a corner carver

Bob,

These springs with the front QA1's set at a stiff setting will be pretty tolerable on the street. They will have more roll to them then the stock springs and by all means are not meant for "corner carving"

A cheap alternative then QA1's for the rear are Strange Engineering 10 way adjustable Racing Shocks. They are inexpensive ($130/pair). They are made for a mustang, however they work great on the lightning.

Some of the QA1's that the big three sell have the same part number as JEGS do for mustang QA1's. You do the math.

 

apparently qa1 actually lists an application for an "f-150 & lightning" now. they have a different part # than the mustang ones.

they show a two-way adjustable one now, and drag shocks also.

 

V6 F-150 springs?

 

No these are custom made

What are these "custom springs" rated at?

Wheelies are impressive and make you look so cool!!!

hmmm... interested as well. my DD isnt the smoothest street ride anyways.

 

Here's the math:
compression travel/force/unit of time, rebound travel/force/unit of time, and compressed and extended lengths = "the right" application.

With an adjustable shock, travel/force/unit of time is correct for any application where the "best" rate falls within the adjustment range. With the rock hard-to-barely there range of the QA1s, the right rate is in there somewhere.

So, to order the "correct" QA1 for a Lightning, one needs to know only its length and mounting method. It matters not if the same part # is listed for a 2005 VW Beetle, a 1956 Blue Bird schoolbus, or a 1972 Boeing 747.

 

Tim,

Close!
Racing shocks have resistance on the extension as compared to the typical shock that has resistance on the compression.

Here's what I'm talking about.

depends on what type of racing you are refering to . A set of shocks on my race car will run with about 3000 lbs of rebound that is fully adjustable back down to 800lbs and the compression is also fully adjustable. But this is not a cheap set of shocks as i spend about 1250 a shock on them

but to answer your statement they have resistance up and down just more and less in dif areas depending on which wheel it goes on.
