why dont you flip your ball joints then you can start popping up reflectors when you hit the brakes and you will have to cut your fender wells a bit depending on your tire size .im telling you this from experience.

just let the air outta the tires you will see a 1-3" drop instantly oh ya it will probably only cause you .75 cents to fill them back up,

lol,or ruining the ones you got and when you have to buy more tires just get the smallest possible.

In the front......cut the bracketry for the bumpstops off of the frame.....the large for the lower control arm and the 2 smaller ones under the upper control arm. Crank the torsion bars all the way down until they come out....then pull them out and put them back in straight (so they aren't hanging down). Obviously Toxic shock it. In the rear pull all of the leaf springs out except for the main long one and throw in a 3" or 4" block. While some people claim this is dangerous and say that they will break....I have yet to see this. I have had 3 Mazdas lowered like this, and my younger brother has had 2.(Don't be dropping the clutch to burn your tires and it won't put the excessive stress on the spring.....which I guess will break it) I don't beat on my trucks so I have never had the problem. To give more travel in the rear cut the center of the crossmember out that sits right in front of the rearend and give her a c-notch. This is what I have done for years and my frame sits 2" from the ground on an 87 Cab Plus. I do not know how to post a pic...if I did I would show how my latest truck is sitting.
