The lighting isn't great and it's on a little bit of an incline so it looks funny. I'll get better pics when I have a chance. These are SVT Lightning springs.

 

looks sweet to me



where the lightning springs cheaper to get a hold of than regular aftermarket lowering springs?

 

Yep, I had my eye on the Hotchkis 2" lowering springs. I was looking at about 175 by the time I got them shipped. There are some cheaper aftermarket springs out there like Western Chassis, Belltech, and DJM, but I was told Hotchkis was the best. I picked the Lightning springs up on ebay for $63.00 shipped. They were off of an 04 Lightning with 4,000 miles on them.

 

Looks great!! Nice job!

 

gotta love eBay

 

Looks great, GreenCrew! Do you already have the back lowered as well? If so, how much? I'm trying to get an idea what mine will look like with 20's on it and the same size tires, and I'm at a 1"/2" drop. Sorry if we've already talked about this somewhere else - it's late and I'm getting kinda punchy.

 

nice rims!

 

01 RedCrew - The back has been lowered 2" with Daystar Shackles.

 

Thanks for the info! I can't wait until I get my tires!

 

Nice! Hows it handle?

Handling is vastly improved. Not nearly as much body roll as before. The ride is much more controlled than it was. Now I need to get a rear sway bar.

 

Hi!

The green screw looks pretty sweet, man! I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I guess the '04 F150 is a completely different suspension that the Lightning right? Or at least the front springs? The back is easy to lower.

 

Yep, Lightning springs are not going to work on the 04-05 F150s. Front suspension is very different.

 

Lookin' Good!
