haha hate to tell you there is no kit, well if you have the skills roll with a torsion kit, i was on a limited budget so i just used the cup pockets up front and havent had a problem.

as far as the back i should have stuck with a reverse linkage setup so i couldnt have to re-locate my gas tank but oh well, post pics of your truck

thread post photo


ask and you shall recieve, the bags are being held in by 2x4 steel tubing cut to fit snugly into the cup pocket, welded a bolt on top of the 2x4 so i can bolt it down, and drilled to holes to hold the bag on the bottom.

Most people use torsion kit but this setup only cost me $10 total lol and it lays and ive never had a problem.

#1. Is how much you need to cut out so you dont rub.
#2. Is a bumpstop that can easily be removed by one bolt.
#3. Is another bumpstop that needs to be trimmed so it doesnt rub your bag
#4. Is were you prolly will have nice drag marks on your control arms
#5. Chains are only for if you want to hop.

Is that chain going from the upper control arm to the lower? Wouldn't you want if from the lower control arm to the frame?

I have Air Management Kits on my site, then you'd just need to figure out what type of rear setup you'd be doing and get the Front Torsion Brackets/Notches/Rear Brackets/Link System/Fittings/Wiring.

Check out what I have to offer on my site, but ignore all the pricing since I'm usually able to discount a good deal especially on full kits. I'll be out of town till next Tuesday, but email me anytime with any questions you might have. I'd be glad to help out.. Later bro,

ya i realixed that after i welded them together, but i never had a problem with it chained like that but i cut them off about a month ago so i could notch for out of the front end so no rubbage would be on the bag.

ima take some more pics for some guys on this site,

Ricky will hook ya up on the torsion thing, which is sweet if ur gonna run a bigger wheel than a 205/40/16 cause thats the biggest i can lay on.

But if your gonna run my size or smaller then just roll the cup pockets ive never had a problem other than not cutting enough out of the pocket but that was 6 months ago and no problems since

ya know, there are many members that ask to see bag setups on pre-86 and 86 to newer mazdas. There should be a sticky thread where all there is are pictures of bag setups. it would probably help out a lot of people, just an idea.

Yes i get alot of request for people with a pre 84 mazda and most of them are my age when i first turned 16 i did this front set up i blew some bags cause i just didnt notch enough of the cup out, but i finally did and 6 months later no problems at all.

its cheap easy and takes no time doing it.

how much money are you lookin to spend?

Im running 2500s firestones up front and no problems. are you just wanting to do the front or hwat ?
flaresniper   +1y
