hey matt, the spring code on the lightning is "P4J", if i am wrong, i am sorry, but that is from memory. i installed the front springs on my 95 f150, for about $35 each. the rear springs are about $250 each, so i did not go that route. i ordered them from the dealership, which you can order anywhere. as for steering, i believe the gear box is the same, the only difference is that the lightnings' have a 4x4 pitman arm instead of the stock 1/2 arm. i am going to this, which i haven't yet. remember, this is only what i read, so don't hold me to anything. if any other help is needed, feel free to email me, fordpi@webtv.net
