Ok so i have a 89 b2200 thats sitin pretty lol. I like the look of the truck, would love the back lower, but it rides like a dang sled goin down the road, i mean it would bust kidney stones loose, is this normal? from what i can tell the springs in the rear may have been flipped? and there is an aluminum block on top to make them sit lol. It hits hard in the rear on any kind pot hole etc.
Whats do i need to buy/ do to make it ride beter, and get lower in the rear?

your shocks in the rear are probably bottoming out or they're blown if they look like they haven't been changed in a decade .


you'll want to get a smaller shock like from a 89-93 chevy caviler , or you can order the drop shocks (called toxic shocks) that are made for the b2200 . they run about 32.00 a pc ..

Your springs are not flipped. Mazdas and most import trucks the axle is above your leaf springs. What size block and how many springs are there?

^^ what he said "how many springs" are left in the back, and is the overload on top of the spring pack or underneath where its supposed to be? there isnt a lot you can do to help out the ride without a notch of some sort be it an axle notch in frame, a c notch, or a z behind the cab...
