Mike · 04-06-2007, 02:51 PM

Got some pictures of Bill's truck today.

CLICK THE PICTURE FOR A LITTLE MORE RESOLUTION

Here is mine & Bill's in B&W. His is an inch or two lower than mine.

Here is another of my truck. Man I want those acetone badges now. That will be my next mod.

Very nice list of mods.

Not sure if there was any elevation change from where it was to here but you might want to get on a dyno and send JJ the numbers and a datalog to get a retune if you havent thought of that already.

Mike · 04-06-2007, 03:27 PM

I think they are switching the tuning duties over to JDM.

I might try and set up a dyno day in the next few weeks so all of us can get some A/F numbers.

looks good!

05Saleen · 04-06-2007, 04:05 PM

Nice!!!!

Whaler · 04-06-2007, 04:05 PM

Very nice! It does sit nice, but a little low for me since I drive mine everyday. I do like that look, though.

I agree a little to low for me I think once I do lower mine it will be with the TVS. An advertised drop of 1.5 in front and 2.5 out back.

I bet the truck drives just fine that "low" as you may say.

I see that he has a DJM. Very good quality. I bet it rides smooth actually upon reading that. Go for it Larry.

But can you still tow with it without using helper bags?

LXtasy · 04-06-2007, 06:05 PM

I wouldnt take a leaf out though to go lower. That is (MY OPINION) more for show. In vehicle I have ridden in or OWNED with a leaf removed (current vehicle has a 3 link setup...not even close) but with a leaf removed it seems alittle sloopy. Just my opinon though.

If you really want some DAMN GOOD QUALITY, same payload as stock, sway bar in stock location etc etc ($794 though)

http://www.est1946.com/index.asp?Pag...ROD&ProdID=278
Includes a ton of stuff.

If that is too much to chalk up. You can check out DJM, BELLTECH and GROUND FORCE at the link below. BUT, I have not experienced GROUND FORCE ON A FULLSIZE. only "minis". DJM, and BELLTECH I have on fullsizes and rides pretty good.

How much lower than stock are you considering?

If you are serious. Even with a 2" up front and just alittle in the rear I could send tons of links to help you decide and especially pricing. I am not sure on what a ton of the Lightning owners run on the street and a drag strip. Do you want to start road racing? lol I have some links with Lightning guys and their suspension setups.

chrisheltra · 04-06-2007, 06:34 PM

That kit achieves the same drop as the kit Im looking at getting when the time comes.

http://www.hotchkis.net/products.php...7ae3dbc8ff6e33

Tis kit is more expensive but also includes beefed up sway bars.

08 Racecraft · 04-06-2007, 07:35 PM

Nice Truck!!

LXtasy · 04-07-2007, 12:34 AM

hotchkis. Oh yea. Hotchkis is a very top notch handling company. I plan on ordering a front sway bar from them. Hotchkis has designed some suspension upgrades for vehicle manufacturers as well. Good quality indeed.
