...Lightning front coils and rear leaf springs that is

After shipping it comes to be $116.01. Only 3k miles on them too. I was quoted $130 EACH for just the leaf springs from Ford.

Now I will have a total of 1/2" front and 4" rear drop. Should be only 1/2" rake in the rear so it will look even more level than a stock suspension w/ only 2" shackles.

Yeah!

You are a lucky man, Id kill for those Leaf Springs. Ill just settle for my shackle/hangar kit Welcome to the lowered club.

I'm going for a 3" front and 6" rear drop. or maybe a 2/6 hmm...

 

Hey Talley:
I have a 3/4 drop and sometimes I think the rear looks lower than the front. I measured and the front is actualy 1/2in lower. If you lower your truck 2/6 wont that make the rear lower than the front.

 

We'll see won't we!

Stock my rake was 4.25" (center hub to bottom of fender) Now with the shackles I have a 2.75" rake; the Lightning leaf springs should lower me another 2" which will leave me with a .75" rake. This makes me a total of 4" advertised drop in the rear. Then I will get hangars to lower me 2 more inches which should put me 1.25" lower in the rear than the front. THEN, I will lower the front 2" and I will have a minimul rake of .75 or so..

I want a perfect level to no more than .5" rake. Yes, it will make the rear looked sag... but it will not be, your are just too use to seeing a rake look.

Again, it's a guess with suspension parts tho... Like I said, we'll see.
