Well my new project is a drift truck but the biggest problem I see so far is lowering the truck. I know you can crank the torsion bar and add some blocks. But is there anything like coilover ish? I want pritty much a hole kit so i can stiffen and soften the ride and such. And no bagging is not wanted.

jegs sells a kit with coilovers and a crossbar that welds in then you could 4 link it and remove the leafsprings all together

You'll probably have to buy the correct coilovers and spring rates you'll need then make all the brackets and mounts you need. I haven't seen a coilover kit for a mazda b series pickup truck. You'll also need some sort of a link setup to keep the rear axle in place.

Well in the front you can probably just bolt in coilovers in place of the stock shocks. Then remove the torsion bars. You would have to check for clearance.

The rear would be just a four link and coilovers where the shocks would be.

There will not be a "kit" for it. It really should be pretty simple.

check out this build done by oo7BoB the build thread is called UPDATING MY OLD B2000 [rodzda]. He did coils all around this is probably the best way to go if you want to build a drift truck.
