Tires Rub When Layed OuT

What he said^ Flare the bedsides. There was an article in minitruckin a few years ago about how to do it on a mazda.I think it may be on their website still.

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while...
And I'm a chic...not a "he" lol
I just bought a 4x4 mazda b2600 but its ext cab...so the bed doesn't fit on my truck (mines standard, shortbed)
So now with this parts truck i have alot of options, but i'd still need to find a solution to this rubbing problem.
So the choices are either find another 4x4 stan cab bed, flare the bedsides, or shorten the axle.
I'm gettin the front bagged this spring, and going to use the 4x4 fenders up front...but i think it will look silly with flared fenders up front and the 2wd bedsides in the back. If anyone can find the article on how to flare the bedside out, send it to me.

Thanks,
Angie

i cant remember exactly but minitruckinweb.com tech articles has a good bed flaring article.

Hope this helps a little.

Well heres is a quick explanation on how to stretch how rear fenders as explained on the minitruckin website. it involves cutting your internal side box braces and then using a scissor jack with peieces of two by four on each side to distribute the pressure more evenly. one side against the inside of the outter box skin and one against the outside of the box floor wall. Be sure to take measurements to ensure your stretching both sides evenly. this may require cuttng slits to releave pressure and welding in small plates in the gap

Hope you understand what i mean

Thanks!!!
Well we'll see what ends up happening. I'll post a pic on here once its done--which will be never.
The To-Do list is ongoing it seems.

Angie found the minitruckinweb link. I'll post it in here in case someone else comes across this thread while searching.



We are also considering trades if anyone would like to
TRADE: 4x4 ext. cab bed in great shape for your 4x4 Std. Cab bed

We need drop spindles for her truck. Anyone have some for sale or know of the best website to order from?

airbagit.com is the only place that sells them.

I saw that. I HATE to give Joe business. That guy is such a D-bag

I don't know, the more we discuss it, the more we'd just rather run stock spindles. Hard to justify spending $200+ on those. I understand the tires will wear faster and more negative camber, but she only drives the truck about 1,000 mile a year... might just stick with stock spindles...
I think a ton of negative camber looks sick anyways!
