Hey guys,
I am curious as to what differences there are in the suspension between the stock F150 and the Lightning. I have a 1996 F150 with the stock 351W, and want to obtain a similar stance to the Lightning along with better handling. My truck feels like an unstable boat riding the big rolling waves on the highway. I already have a set of 17" Lightning wheels I plan to use to replace the stock 15" wheels; which should stiffen the sidewalls a bit since they will be shorter. I am also planning to drop the rear so that it is level with the front. I will probably use shackles and hangers to do the rear. Was there any difference with the sway-bars, springs, shocks, e.t.c.?
Thanks!!
Wayne
