lightning suspension question!!!

I have a 2000 extended cab and want to tighten up the ride and slightly lower the truck. Basically convert my trucks ride, handling and height to that of a Lightening. Can I bolt any of a stock lightening suspension directly to my truck to achieve this or do I have to go all aftermarket. If so any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

The Lightning components are a bolt on. 2 in drop shackles, 1 in drop coil springs and Bilstein shocks.

No, I wanted more. I've got 3 in dropped coil springs from Belltech, 4 in DJM hanger/shackle kit and I also removed the overload leaf spring. One of them was broke anyway. Shocks are Belltech Nitros.

Nice!!!! I just dont want to drop it too much. I have had a truck like that B4 and just want it easy going but much improved handling and ride. I drove a Lightnening and loved the ride! The speed too but i got a kid on the way so ya know how that goes.......
