MazdaRod: Things Just Got Lower

Worked on th truck a bit today. It used to be raked up in the rear end so I did some experimenting to see what it would take to level it out. I ended up removing the overload sping and one additional leaf in the rear plus a 3" block. I'm happy with the new stance, now back to polishing the wheels.

Nice truck, curious where you got those wheels - any pics of the backside? I sold a custom set a long time ago and those look like them.

Diggin the wheels too

Thanks guys! I bought the wheels off Craigslist around 2008 timeframe.

Next step will be to notch the frame out back. I need to create some more room for travel. I currently only have about an inch of travel which gets absorbed just in variations of the road.

I's love to see a pic of the welds on the back side of the rims, I bet those are mine since the offset does not look like how they came from boyds in 6-lug.

The backsides looks like a factory job / no signs of rework but next time I have them off I'll take a photo for you. Working on polishing them up, they haven't been deep cleaned and polished for almost 5 years so it's become quiet the project. I've finished the drivers front (9hrs) and about half way complete with the drivers rear.

Do you build or sell wheels?

What DiD you do to lower the front. And all the rear has is monileaf correct

Well I would be able to tell the welds if I saw them, I do custom wheel rework and those were a project for my truck to see if I could change the offset. The way they came had almost no lip and the is why I noticed yours right away.

Do you have a power ball to polish with? How bad are they? I like the power ball but you gotta pick the right shape. I also like the never dull wadding polish - for me it's the fastest.

Once you are done polishing, you can use zoopseal to seal them and you'll almost never have to do it again.
