Hello, I'm racer from Harare Zim, was browsing the net looking for best way to go for front and rear suspension on a mazda bseries pick-up, then I found this forum,wanted to get rid of the torsion bars in front and fit coilovers, I'v de-tensioned the back leafs, probably fit coilovers there, airbags this side would b a problem to get, hoping and open for suggestions, thank you, I'm fitting a 3.4 in it once I get the throttle body kit

To fit coilovers on the rear suspension, you will need to design and build at least a 3 link rear suspension, as stock the leafs act to locate the rear axle. You will probably have to make a mount for the coilovers for the upper and lower mounting, and likely these will have to go above the box floor, requiring you to cut holes through your box.

As for coilovers in the front, that would also have to be all custom, as you would need to build brackets to mount the upper mount of the coilover to, and make a mount for the lower, and geometry in all of the angles of the coilover will make a durastic change in the suspension geometry. Why do you want to do coilovers in the front and rear?

I'm open for any other suggestions on how to firm up the rear, last time I took to drags it was all over the place, it had a upgraded 3l v6 that time
