Front end aftermarket parts????

[True Blue Aggie]

Is there a company, or companies that make aftermarket front end parts for the Lightning? Assuming that hotchkis makes the suspension kits, you would think there would be some company out there making aftermarket control arms, etc....

Anyone know? I know that i am going to have to get the front end re-built based on the continuous wear on the front left tire (control arms are worn out and cam bolt kit is already installed and max out on its camber placement).

They make upper and lower control arms. But they are all drop control arms.

Id just get factory replacements with greaseable fittings.

Im also lower than you, i put my cam bolts in and eyeballed it when i put them in.. I have yet to get a front end alignment. Drove to L fest and back and hardly any signs of wear and it handles perfect for my tastes.

Might want to search around the forums and see what others are using as far as alignment specs.

Ford only on the control arms in stock settings. The lowers are special $VT arms:D .

nope they have some svt sticker on them. But they look exactly like my moms reg f150 controls arms. Have yet to measure them lol. I know when my truck was in the boddy shop it took a over a week to get a damn control arm for my truck.

I heard the biggest difference is the steering stops built in to the arms to accomiodate the bigger rims and tires

I think they are designed for increased caster for high speed handling. The stops can be installed into any arms, they are a FRPP kit when running L wheels on F150's etc.
