I have an 01 lightning,rear shocks are shot.When I hit some ripples in the road the bumper stops hit. Anyways I was wondering if I can use bilsteins from a newer 04 and on model on my 2001.Are they compatible?
ok. I just wanted to be sure b/c the shock guys claim a NO fit on my 2001 lightning.They say an 04,5,6,7,8,9 F150 rear shock is not compatable with my 2001.

I thought you asked about the Bilsteins from the '01 to '04 year Gen 2 Lightnings. THOSE Bilsteins will fit any year Gen 2 L, from '99 to '04.
I have no clue about the regular F150's from '04 and up.

Stewert,
no problem,my message was a little confusing. Anyways, I looked at both of the sets and they do not match.The 97-03 f150 has one eye and something else on the blue end,the newer F150(04-09) has 2 eyes, one on each end.They must have had a lot of complaints on how difficult the job to change them is on the 97-03 models and they improved it on the newer edition trucks.
