I say lower it and put on some 20" rims. Here is a pic with 20" chrome stocks and lowered suspension.



Here is another one with aribag suspension.



I noticed in the mainland, alot of people do what they call a "body drop" with air bag suspension. That way they can actually drag the frame on the ground like the second pic I posted. They cut the inside of the bed and the engine compartment to achieve the stance.

Here is a picture of the bed. They open it up so the wheels can tuck all the way up into the wheel well.

I'm diggin that lowered truck on the stock rims that Syndicate posted over all the other options. Having said that, how would it look on a set of Aoshima Equip 19"s? - try it out!

I just measured a set of HH wheels compared to a set of EQUIPs; the outer diameter of both are the same size. The tires on the HHwheels are a little thicker. Here's some pics.

Keep it low with the stock wheels. If you want a truck put on 33" swampers, get a Ram. Dont ruin the Lightning's appearance, please.

[Ranger_X]

The Lightning is a 2WD performance truck that is lowered from the factory, the agressive front airdam is a street look and would just look wrong on a lifted truck. If you want something to lift, I believe revell has a kit of an extended cab 4X4 F-150
