yeah I wasnt picking on your comment, its just that to go to the pinch on a mazda is like 1 3/4 inches, almost nothing. Guys always seem to do 3 to get the truck to lay flat because the front crossmember hangs down, but if you were to sfbd 2.5 it like I described, compensating for that extra little bit, the truck lays flatter than a 3 inch traditional and even better wont taper your rockers at the rear as you drive. On a 3 inch traditional it will lay front crossmember and rear cab, not frame, so it drags at an angle.
I find it kind of hard to believe that you have a 5 inch bodydrop and couldnt see the difference between it and a sfbd though, my last mazda was a 2.5 inch trad bd (not done by me, possibly done better than I even could have done it at the time) and the difference between it and my current sfbd is like night and day. There is SO much more room in the cab, it literally is like driving a stock truck that lays body.
