does anyone know where to get stock 9th gen lighting leaf springs and coils at? other than the dealer

craigslist or junk yard. just keep looking and call a few local junk yards. you might get lucky. other than that i don't really know. where are you located? i might be able to get some parts if you tell me what you need, i know a guy parting out a lightning.

nevermind. carlisle pa. how far is that from the philly area? that's where i am.

haha, carlisle is about 3-3.5 hours from Philly depending on how fast you drive but ill check out and see whats around me, all i really need is the stock leaf springs and stock coils, maybe an autoparts store might have them i dont know

well if you are trying to lower it you could put on belltech lower springs in the front. they drop it about an inch. and some stiffer shocks as well as the springs should stiffen it up pretty good for handling. in the rear, well, you could put drop shackles.

well i dont even have a lightning, i have a regular f150 and stock lightning coils are 1 inch lower than stock f150 and the rear leafs are 2 inches lower, plus im getting the dream beams to lower the front 3 inches but i guess i could just settle and buy drop springs as well they would just be more expensive and my money tree is wilting right now haha

i feel ya there. i think my tree died over the past few months. summit racing has moog replacement springs listed for the lightning, but i would call and double check to make sure that are lightning spec, and won't be the same as what you have now.

yeah my tree is quickly dying as we speak haha, but if i do happen to go with summit i would definitely check, thats why i asked if anyone knew where to get new stock lightning parts but thanks for all your input any thing helps

no problem man. if you ever wanna make a ride down to my area i could probably hook you up with what you needed too.
