how to lower 88 b2200

ok i am just getting into this mini truck scene. i just picked up a 88 mazda b2200. i just bought 3 inch blocks for the rear, but wondering how many times to turn the torsions? and also if there is anything i need to do to do this drop besides the blocks and tools for front. will i still be able to tow around my 4 wheeler in the back? how low can i go and still be able to haul 500ish pounds

its all very simple. the rear of course, take the u bolts off, make sure when you put the blocks in you get the abngle the right way and seated on the pin, and tighten back down with new bolts. The front is a little different. you can adjust the torsions by turning the bolts counter clockwise. i measured where mine were at before i loosened them, and just did it. i didnt count or anything. make sure you have the front off the ground. then, when you get to where you think you want to be, put the truck on the ground, and measure. if one side is off, then just tighten or loosen the bolts till you get it where you want it. there shouldnt be any reason why you cant still haul around after wards

and what is the right direction to put the blocks? like the shorter side to the cab?

yup

You may want to reindex the bars if the keys hang to low.

this should be a helpful thread now, lots of info

ok well i was wondering how to get it a litle lower. i was thinking a nice 3/5 drop instead of the 2/3 drop. i have the 3 inch blocks, what or how many leaf springs need to come out of rear? and how much can front lower with the torsions?

keep the main leaf and just the load/helper spring atleast thats what i been told ...

what about front? how low can i take it with the torsions?

dont plan on puttin the four wheeler in the back if you go to pullin leaves. the rear suspension is going to be really soft and the frame will rest on top of the rear if you put that weight in there.
