So I just purchased my truck and the owner claimed it has a "towing package"
Now, at first I just thought it had a simple towing hitch installed, but after looking at the suspension it seemed a little bit beefier.
Has anyone ever seen this? It seems a little different than what I have seen online.
The suspension looks stock to me, except for the overload springs(the ones with the funny brackets). As far as I know, there was no towing package available from Mazda.
Your hitch is aftermarket. The gadget inside is an adjustable trailer brake, for electric brake equipped trailers.
Lowering 3 inches wouldn't be a problem, but removing the overload spring and the helper spring(thickest one on the bottom) will be easier to do when you install the blocks. Otherwise doing the work twice is a real killjoy.

Yes, for the rear.
Also yes for the front, BUT... if you go too low, you run the risk of dragging the adjuster on the ground. If this is what you run into, then you'll have to re-index the torsion bar. Run a search for re-indexing.
