[QUOTE="99BOSS, post: 9126138, member: 8733"] The Lightning had its own unique suspension. I had a 93 when they came out. It had its own springs, Formula GP shocks, front and rear sway bars, and a unique rear leaf spring arrangement that had a extra leaf with a rubber snubber that acted like a traction bar to prevent axle wrap up under hard acceleration. The unique Firestone Firehawk GTA tires played a huge part in how they handled as well. You could duplicate most of this with aftermarket parts today. Steeda used to have F-150 springs that could be used. The frame on a Lightning was thicker and more stiff than a reg F150 too which also added to the rigidity of the Lightning. [/QUOTE]
