basically when u do a stock floor u need to make the frame rails under the cab smalleru shouldn't have to cut anything out of the floor on a mazda. there are different pros and cons to traditional and stock floor drops,

stock floors u don't lose your headroom, your interior and carpet still fits, but frame material can get expensive,. and the only thing i don't like is that the mazda frame isn't tall to start with so you would be better off making new frame rails, also it is tougher to run exhaust cause there isn't as much room.

as for traditional drops you'll lose a little head and your carpet doesn't always fit right unless u build the floor up properly and angle the edges, its cheaper cause there isn't as much steel involved.

thats only a few things

ok i am planning on building the frame rails with 2x3 steel tubing and im not worried about price on that because it wont be much my dad gets a good deal because he welds and builds factory equipment for a living now and his company gets a discount and i already have to build a full backhalf from the cab back for it so i figured just go the extra distance but i dont want to lose headroom not that it really matters for me but if anyone taller would ride in my truck i want them comfortable and also did you get my pm about your compressor your running btw i love your truck

its a 210, they have built it oil sumps, just check the level and add oil every 6 months, you'll need to get one with ther clutch pully on it, there nothin u need to do to convert it, it just pumps air, my friends have been runnin them on there dailys for years with no problems, the may drain their airsystems once every few months or so,

i have 2 i have a 209 and a 210 im gonna use the 210 and it has a clutch wheel on it so i dont have to do anything to it at all it will just pump air because i heard they pump oil to so to put an oil seperator on it
