are the front rotors different between the regular f-150's and the Lightnings?

My brother traded in his 03 Supercrew and has a new set of powertop rotors he gave me since he can't use them on his new 05. Would they fit on my 01 Lightning? I know the calipers and pads are different on the 2 trucks but the rotors look the same.

Can anyone tell me for sure though?

Thanks

Diameter is the same, the offset of the rotor is different and will not clear the caliper.

HI!... In "99" the F-150 SPORT model got the exact same brake set-up as the LIGHTNING. The larger brake booster is from the F-250 and the rotors,pads, calipers are the same. At least on my "99" they are. A buddy of mine has a 2000 LIGHTNING and we compared them about a year back. Exactly the same on both trucks.
