I say go Roush or Hotchkiss TVS, they both are roughly 1.5" drop in the front and 2" in the rear, both kits come with drop sprins for the front and leaf springs for the rear. The Roush comes with revalved Bilsteins and the Hotchkiss comes with new sway bars for better handling. hope that helps.

you could also just get 2" drop shackles and drop springs for the front, that is way cheaper than the other kits

Dont think you can find another Roush kit for the Lightning. Thought those were not being made anymore.

I would recommend going with the Hotchkis TVS kit. Lightning Force Performance has there stock on sale for around $800, but I know that they have a rebate also for something around $100. The truck sits the way it was meant to with this kit. No 4x4 rear end look anymore...:tu:

Terry did mine and I was happy with it.. the ride didnt suffer from it either.. give heavy consideration to upgrading the sway bars at the same time.
