Hey, yeah i know your all probably gonna be disapointed, but i've come to the conclusion that im going to lift my truck up and then some. Its not that i don't like the lower stance or anything...well i dont in a way i guess...bottoming out everywhere sucks lol

But i mean this is a shitty town for low trucks...bottoming out everywhere..cant drive out in the sticks. Cant go camping or anything. ahh i dunno. Just wanna be able to take my truck out and enjoy it.

Anyway..How much furthur can i raise the bars from stock before i run into any problems? I have 4 235.75.15s that i plan on mounting on my pathys. Will i have problems with clearence with just stock rear and 1-2" lift in the front?

Thanks. Wheels and tires will be for sale (Denalis), Doorpods for sale, Chrome Grille if theres interest, anything else just ask.

are you just going to prerunner it or go 4x4? i don't know for sure how much you can lift it with the torsions but i tightened the torsions on my ranger and it lifted it prolly like you said 1-2" just to even it out a little better.

Your not the only one thats asked this question. Theres a post with a really good link on how to lift your 2wd B. You can get 2" ball joint spacers for the front and fit a 28" tall tire with full turning. I just lifted mine and the spacers are the only thing that I have found. I rearched the springs in the rear.

for the rear you can flip the axle under the springs, that'd lift you like 3" easy, or do new shackles...
rememember a ball joint spacer will change your whole front suspension geometry... way worse than bagging or lowering.

Balljoint spacers will seriously fvck your geometry. Especially 2" spacers. I just flipped the balljoints to the top of the arm on the Mazda and I can see a visual difference in the steering geometry. It will create bumpsteer at low heights. I can only imagine what a 2" spacer would do.

You're def not the only one. Heck I've gone back up stock twice now lol. I still think about it all the time because of the ride and thinking about even having to slightly veer off the road which would really tear my crap up. But everytime I see my truck's reflection in a building window lol, I'm in love.

My issue is wearing out the front tires being dropped right now. I've got a lot of front neg camber. Will dropped arms help this?

On Mazdatruckin.com you'll find the people who are lifting their trucks helpful. That's where you can also find out about the spacers. There's a dude that had'm made and is using them and loving them right now with no probs yet.
