Wanting to do a lightning front end swap....?
Has anyone done a complete bumper swap from a lightning to an f1? My bumper now has some sag in it and instead of fixing it I thought it would be cool to put a lightning bumper on. I also would do the lightning headlights too but thats easy right?
Also any ideas where I would find a lightning bumper?
Thanks!
I'll upload a pic to my profile of the front end as it is now so you guys can see what I mean by it saggin.

Yea it's a direct bolt on but your bumper shouldn't have anything that would make it sag... I'd check for loose bolts or bent brackets.
Lightning headlights also swap right in. I'm running OEM 2002 Lightning heads and corners on my truck

it is not a direct swap, the reinforcement bar is different and there are quite a few brackets that are different, if you get it new from ford everything will be over a grand, i did this back in 05 and all the parts came in just over $900 and thats with my employee discount, there are plenty of cheaper aftermarket options though
