Hey Guys-

Not new to the site, but new to the Lightning world. I picked up an 03 today. Bone stock except for 2" drop in front and 4" in the rear. I plan to leave it fairly stock since it will be my driver and have the mustang for the toy. I look forward to learning from you guys.

nice 03 man good luck keeping it stock i bought my 99 100 % bone stock for a DD and had a 93 s trim cobra for a toy and sure enough about 2 months later i got bit by the mod bug ..


after putting a 6 3 lower on and aall the little supporting mods it runs and drives better than stock not to mention if you keep your foot out of it it will get slightly better mph with a pulley .. the extra boost jsut carrys you along nicely ..

good luck and thunmbs up to another white L ....

So.....

Valve Body
4lb lower
CAI
Tune
Plugs

Seem like a reasonable start? hahah

It took me a minute to get that far into it, lol. Six years later, and well, I chopped it up. Face it, ur screwed. Easily one of the most versatile vehicles to mod in the world. Its an F-150 and crazy things can be done to those as far as aftermarket, then its got a sick motor that you want to mod. Welcome and G/L

I also decided I need some 01-02 style wheels powdered coated in a gunmetal gray. After that I'm done though......I swear :idea:
