lowering suspensions
I have a 02 Lightning and thinking about lowering front and rear a few inches. Any suggestions on a good lowering kit? Also thinking of installing an eletric fan and would appriciate any feed back.

I have a 4-6 drop on my truck, Eibach springs on the front, drop hangers from western chassis on the rear, stock shackles. I have some Bell Tech nitro drop shocks and I trimmed the bump stops about an inch. It rides real good for a truck that has been lowered as much as it has. The only problem I have is that I have to watch the curbs and what not when I park. Nose will drag sometimes. Had to install some 4* shims in the rear to keep it from vibrating upon takeoff and to get the pinion angle back in spec. Truck is dirty in the pic, but you get the idea. I also have the Flex-a-lite dual electric fan kit installed with the Cobra water pump with underdrive pulley and a 170* thermostat. I live in AZ where its constantly above 110 degrees in the summer and it runs cooler with this setup with the AC on full blast than it did with the stock fan/water pump set up. Hope this helps out.
