Noticed they lowered the front end .5 inch and the rear 2 inches. Five leafs out back now instead of 3. New bilstiens are supposed to make it ride more "car like" and still haul...***...and tow 5000 #.

If you own a Lightning, run out and look at the rear leafsprings, yours have 5 leafs and is lowered already.

The Bilsteins are new...

 

Not to mention the Brembo brakes (right Thor01?).

 

you already have 5 leaks, they didnt lower the 01 anynore than the 99-00, no Brembo's either!

Actually, I had only three leaks so far, one every 15,000 miles.

 

Damn I should have known they would make an *** of me. They must have been referring to the same old difference between the stock F-150 and the Lightning. I even installed the drop shackels on mine and never even thought about the rear springs. Soory for the misinfomation....

 

NO, NO, NO, the 2001 are actually a little bit lower if I'mnot mistaken. Someone at the hooters meet brought there 2001 calatog, and I said wow that 2001 looks lower then mine stock. I think it was bob, but not sure who said yeah the 2001 are a little bit lower. check that out for sure though.

Actually the 01s are lower than the 99-00. Has nothing to do with shocks or leaf springs....it's the fat chick under the tarp all you 01 guys get with the truck. HA!HA!HA!

 

Well...Nathan...I have about 8,100 on mine now...I will quit driving it at 14,999 if they don't have a fix
