1st Gen Lightning
I've been looking for hors and can't find anything on the differences between them and regular F150's. Aside from the engine and transmission, I mean. I also can't find anything aftermarket regarding the suspension for 80-96 trucks. Does the lighting have a different TTB than regular trucks? And how are all these people dropping these trucks, when I can't find anything online or in magazines for full size TTBs for lowering trucks. I've only seen some for Rangers/Explorers. I've barelly found anything for 2wd pre-runners.

The only difference is:
351w in the F-150
4.10/4.11 rear gears
Sway bars front and back
Bucket seats
Other than that, they use the E4OD tranny, and everything else is basically the same....
You can get a lowering kit from Eibach, DJM, Belltech, etc....
Lowering shocks, tranny shift kit, and if you REALLY wanna drop $$$, www.Fastfordfiberglass.com sells fiberglass hoods, rollpans, front bumpers, fenders, cowls, and tailgates.....

If you can't find anything listed , i would call DJM or belltech , theres a few guys in the 87-96 forum that have lowered them , they should be able to help you , the suspension and springs on the lightnings are not the same as the standard 150s , i think the frame is thicker to , motor wise its a 351w with gt 40 heads and intake , they have a flat tappet cam instead of a roller and are SD.....Lew

I-Beams-$599 3"
Drop Shackles and Hangers-$259 4"
Axle flip kit-4-5"
Lowering coils-2"
Lightning Coils-1"
Those measurements are going from a factory truck, and adding them....The coils/beams will give you 5" of static drop...and the flip kit, and lowering shackle, etc will give you 7-9" of drop...
With the flip kit, you'll need to do some C-Notch work...
