hey guys im looking for ideas to keep my low static drop, but also handle some weight and tow a small trailer... just a pop up camper, maybe a small boat sometime...lol

there is someone selling drop leafs in my area. im in contact with the guy, he is bagging his truck, so thats why he's selling. he doesnt know much about them or just hasnt giving me much info yet (still waiting on another email). im wondering if there was any drop leafs even offered aftermarket? or are these just stockers that were heated and re arched?

and how much would you pay for them?

Yes, there is aftermarket drop leafs made for these trucks, im pretty sure belltech or djm makes them... they offer about 3-4" of drop... not exactly sure on the price but i think there around 120 a peice

I have the belltech's on my truck, they are slightly longer, so the shackle goes back a little farther, other than that, they ride very good, to up the 25% diff, I am running coilover shocks in the rear, but a set of air shocks would do just as well....

on another note, I also used an energy suspension bushing kit and installed them in my leafs.... don't make for the 93's, but it shows to work on the 93-97 mazda's, only issue is, there are like 3 different size bushing in the kit, and two worked perfectly, the third size wasn't needed, but I was short like 4 of the larger ones for the leaf spring eyes....so I called energy suspension, gave them the # on the end of the bushing, and they sent me the bushings I needed free of charge....

Was looking for some dropped shackles and create some...but not liking how anything is lining up....or looks like it will weaken since our widths arent what I finding out there.

I measured out and the larger opening appears to be about 3 7/8" at the frame mount and 3" even at the spring mount.

Havent found a suitable replacement yet.
