So I just want to see people's opinion of my new ride. Like the title and my SN says I'm not too educated on slammed vehicles. Its a '93 B2600i and I was told that it has 5" lowering blocks on the back but all I've really seen are 3-4". It needs shocks pretty bad (it's missing drivers side lol). It looks like they started to do it right. Motor runs pretty good
Best part is I traded it for a 1940s Farmall M I had lying around.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated

Welcome to mazdabscene, alpt of helpful people here. When you go purchase new shocks dont ask for the specific ones for your truck, ask and purchase shocks for a 91 Isuzu pickup. They are quite a bit shorter so they are perfect for your lowered truck. Thats what Im running on lowered my daily driver mazda.

I'd recommend the 4wd isuzu shocks. You should post pictures of your truck, and front/rear suspension so we can give you some more help...

I live out in the boonies in SD (no wifi) so I threw up my pics from my iphone. I should have an album

ok, looks like stacked blocks... thats very unsafe... you can order 4, and possibly 5 inch angled blocks that will help keep your driveline at the right angle... i would recommend that as a start... you can use regular shocks on the rear... you are in a pretty good position to bag the rear if you so chose... could link the rear, keep the gas tank in the same location, do a wishbone? or 3 link? upper bars, mount some bags and then you wouldnt have to worry about the blocks or that single leaf setup...

Yea the pic is bad I climbed under it because I thought it wouldn't be safe if that we're the case but its just dirty
