If you're looking to give your 1998 Ford Lightning a serious upgrade, check out the ACPT Carbon Fiber Driveshaft. This isn’t just some flashy part; it’s engineered to let your engine hit a sweet spot by allowing a 1000 RPM increase in engine speed. That’s right, it’s been track tested to handle over 800 horsepower without breaking a sweat.

Now, let’s talk about the weight. This driveshaft is a direct replacement for that heavy stock aluminum piece, which is notorious for twisting under power. The ACPT driveshaft is not only lighter but also stronger, thanks to the carbon fiber construction. You’re looking at a weight reduction that really makes a difference—about half the weight of steel, which means more of your engine's power actually gets to the wheels when you hit the gas.

Switching to this carbon fiber driveshaft can give you rear wheel horsepower gains of over 5%. That’s a pretty solid bump just from swapping out one part. Plus, carbon fiber has this cool ability to dampen vibrations, which helps keep your ride smooth and your power output consistent.

Just a heads up: Since aftermarket driveshafts can be a bit bulkier than factory ones, you might need to do a little trimming in the driveshaft tunnel for a perfect fit. Aim for at least 1/2" of clearance to keep everything running smoothly.

This part fits the Ford F-150 from 1997-1998, specifically the MW-35AW-35-60.00 model, so make sure you’re in that range before you dive in. Trust me, your Lightning will thank you for it!
