awesome truck and great video - thanks for taking the time to show EVERYTHING step by step!

That was very intuitive, clear & well put together. You made it look easy. Thanks & cheers from Australia😊

Thanks for the install video man👍🏻 I’d like to get a set for my 09 F250, I like the low key look and concept of the Cal-Tracs better than the long bars!

Good job, and thanks for the video.

Seriously good job on the video!

Awesome build. I have a power dyne been thinking about putting it on my 97 OBS 7,5

This is awesome! Good stuff!

Looks awesome! Good stuff bro.

Amazing truck. Love everything you have done to it. Are you willing to sell the original slapper bars you removed or just the original bump stops off of it. I have a 93 and am missing those bumpers on my slapper leaf.

Looks and works good that impact comes in handy 👌

Awesome job brother, it looks amazing! I agree I’m not a fan of the look of long bars, you made the right choice! Thank you so much for posting this, you are giving me so many ideas and great tutorials....but you’re also going to kill my account doing it 😂.

great channel! love the truck

Dude, I just stopped by to check out the product, no intent purchase and install myself, already running another product (Southside, no longer available). Ended up watching your entire video....informative, well done and the finish product...primo.....Great look, hope they work as well as look.......later Ford brother

Man, watching all your videos is definitely giving me motivation to start working on mine again. I have a white '95 Lightning. Good stuff brotha!

i should use like a POR paint over rust type but haha ive fell in love with this spray paint i buy,its awesome you can paint your whole project all at once and no runs,its rust oleum epoxy and its in a green & white can it has a picture of a refrigerator on it and says appliances on it,haha its good stuff,now as far as how long it will last i dont know yet bro.try it on some project,walmart has it.well your a bigger man than i am,i didnt have any problems at all removing old bushings,once the small piece was removed i used my jigsaw and made cuts in the rubber then knocked it out with a big socket & hammer,but i couldnt get the new big bushing to go in,so i took it down the rd and had them pressed in,my back was killing me haha.i will be done tomorrow,cant wait to see how it does.im also replacing all my sway bar bushings and end links in front with polyurthane,i was going to do the rear but the guy at caltracs said i didnt need to after installing these so who knows.well take it easy bro.

Very cool. Hope to do this to my 84 ford ranger when I put the 8.8 in it.

Great video and explanation

i remember those trucks back in the day,i had a 96 s10 with a vette LT1 swap in it haha with air ride from the best around,texas metal haha so i had a 4 link,the thing was mmm anyways,my bars will be here tomorrow for my LS swapped and cammed 05 blazer,nice video thanks for taking the time to make it.you should have painted your leaf springs while you had them off haha im ocd about stuff like that im going to,i found some awesome paint that dries quick to and no runs.

Great video bro. Love the truck. Have a 22 F150.

Damn you bro….I pulled the trigger today and bought some caltracs plus some 305/45r18 drag radials today because of you 😂. Cant wait to actually use them

Great video! What wheels are you running?

Great Video man! Everything was easy to see and explained well. What would you suggest for a 4x4 chevy 6.6 Duramax Diesel long bed lifted 3 inches?

Looks awsome! Dude, your truck is amazing. Here in southamerica we have the brasilian version of f250 but they came just with MWM diesel engines but the body is way close to lghtning, there are a couple of F1000 lowed by airbags, but nothing like this. Congrats!

Such a beautiful truck!!!

glad to see more first gen content

I got some steel plates that I drilled and bolted the front half of the leafs together solid. That and new shocks fixed my wheel hop on my 95

I have an 88 Chevy C 1500 I'm sure It's about the same install. I will highly recommend getting a Leave Spring replacement bolt because they come with grease dese zirts on them they are $15 a piece but what's $60 when you're literally not using a cutoff wheel

With great power comes great responsibility 😉. Or traction issues 😆 My little girl has the barbie fishing rod I'm impressed he wasn't under your feet the whole time. Mine normally are

Check your pinion angle when lowering the truck

That came out really nice. I had the long bars on mine and it was really close to the side exhaust. The truck wasnt lowered though. Great content

Great video, nice truck.

Great job

Thanks man 👍

That’s a nice truck 👍🏼

Good video the only thing I would is the bolt you used to clamp the leafs what grade is it and I would use a grade 8 the other might give some probs later on

I’ve got a rusty crusty red 93 lightning. They are fun trucks.

Very nice truck!!

Your truck is very nice 💯👌 What are the measurements of your rims?

Hello when do you buy the kit for make low the truck end the back send the link pless

Are you using 3" lowering dream beams in the front ? New to the channel. Awesome truck man

Yeah I just noticed wheel hop bad giving it the juice after a turn on my lightning and these are a must. Thanks for step by step install brotha will definitely come in handy once I order them. And are these the Low pro part # 7104 or regular cal tracs for these part number 7100 off the calvertracing website

Not a ford fan. But your 1st gen is beautiful truck! Nice job👍

End and how much did you download from the front and where did you buy the kit too

Nice truck💪💪💪

Looks great.👍👍 Personally I dont want that forward bellcrank hanging down. Looks .....🤔🙄

What did you have to do to get it to work without doing the axle flip

Dude awesome!

What is the purpose of the metal bushings??? Doesn’t the OEM bushings do the same thing?

Damn that's a nice truck I wish I had something like that

I put these on my truck and now my truck makes cranking noises when I push down on the bumper and basically when I'm driving around cracking noises from the back rear I think where the shackles are . any tips??

Long bars would have worked just fine and helped reduce the wheel hop. Had them on my 94 L with the second Gen style side exit exhaust

That's a baddass truck my brother

Nice truck bro i got a 93 f150 xlt and i been wanting to drop it but don't know were to start

Cleanest gen 1 Lightning 💯

Awesome truck what size pro charger was that ? , and are those the actual cal tracs for the truck or for the mustang?

What is your wheel and tire combo

Hey JJ, what headers do you run on your Lightning? I am trying to find a set for my ‘93 my son and I just picked up.

Do you have a video on that in dash radio setup?

I like these, it will keep from breaking things, but my get you a ticket.... I think you'd want the truck in the ground with weight in the driver seat in order to adjust bars... jmo. At least I would...

Did it clear the exhaust and mine is still in the shop. Had a terrible experience with djm, but really limited on parts for these trucks.

Whats the wheel and tire size in the rear

For someone who dosen't have a good impact and a C clamp press. Take the leaf spring outside and light the bushing on fire with map gas. Wack it with a hammer. Just pay attention cause they come out really easy and will go flying on fire. The metal sleeve is easy to get out with a chisle and hammer.

Looks good. Is the front lowered? If so how?

I wouldn’t use grease, I recommend using anti seize. Grease tends to get hard. Each to there own.

Have you noticed some rattling noise coming from the caltracs when you’re driving on the road?

Will these fit a regular f-150 single cab short bed rwd with a 3/5 djm drop

This is my first time I hear about this mod and I was wondering if it's only for a dropped trucks

Nice 🏆what size tires do you have on your truck 👍🥇

Getting your pinion angle correct would be a good idea you got too much positive pinion angle on that rear end 2° of negative pinion angle would help that truck bite a whole lot better

I'm not trying to be a jerk but I suggest getting a lapel mic. That's a pretty awesome truck!!

Whats the wheel and tire specs

2 years later. Bars making any noise(s) now? Thanks.

Does the caltrac kit come with new u bolts or did u buy them separate?

You don’t have a lowering block? I have a 2 inch but want it lower I think ima going to take it off

Link for caltracs?

Wats the part num# for those exact caltracs? I have a 94 svt lightning I’m working on

Do you get to keep your low profile with them? I got finished on a 3/4” drop on my s10 and sounds like I’m tearing apart my suspension again lol

My truck just frys the tires off through all 3 gears, up in smoke,can feather the gas run 12 lbs in tires but nothing helps,just like driving on ice ,84 Chevy c 10 w/ 450 hp 383 ,will this fix mine

Where did u get the Caltracs have the same truck and the same problem

Awesome truck!

Hoch much Offset does this Wheels have in Front and Rear with the Adapters?

Who makes that ratchet you used on u bolts

what wheels are those they are nice

"Once we get our adjustments on these bars, go ahead and tighten up Deez Nutz!"

It would be nice if a company made four link bolt in systems for factory leaf spring equipped vehicles. Or even 3 link. And not with the air ride bullshit.

You think these would fit a 96?

Cool but word to the wise get some correct shank bolts. There's a reason the oem bolts don't have longer threads that makes them weaker because less material!!!

Who did the body work? Thumbs up 👍 👌 👏

i prefer mild rake look,

ccw classics on the obs thats fucking cool

I need to know what time those are

i keep getting ads to the Spider-Man movie :)

O course it’s boosted

😁

Where’s the lightning now?

Cow tracks FTW.

How do people expect this to work?

Can I send you a Alberta license plate for your wall

Too bad you didn’t show a burnout before and after from the outside.

Not a drop of antiseize in your Dad's garage is there. Or he has never shown you where it is. Some on the ball joint threads helps alot, and for when you installed the sleeve inside the leag spring bushing hole. That's like first grade mechanic stuff.
