is there a better way??

hey guys,
im new to the forum but not new to b series mazdas. i am currently on my 3rd one. my first was an 88 2200 which was static dropped and rusted hard. the second was a SPL project named "the budget pounder" that my buddy and i did. and we did well with it. back in 97 we were doing solid 157's with 8 15's and 800 watts RMS. but this time with the current ride, i have kind of taken a tuner approach to it. i dropped in a S4 NA 13b, and i had the axles redrilled to a 4x114.3 bolt pattern and bolted up some 18" 5 spoke wheels. and now its time to move on to the important things, like bags. so here is my question... i really want to keep as much bed space as i can. is z framing the rear going to allow that? or should i just notch it and not worry about it because i cant have my cake and eat it too? or maybe there is a better way?? enlighten me.

any help and direction is appreciated. thanks.

Post pics of the rotary!

I don't know if Zing the frame will work or not, but one could always lift the height of the bed floor itself up some and have some storage space.

Notch frame as u would normally then body drop the bed and u still have full use of bed

lets say i did this. how deep is the box?

thanks for the help guys. it appreciated.

Here's Mikey's thread. He is z'd with a body dropped bed.

Mikeys is not the one i was thinking about but his looks great.

his truck bed.



this might be the answer i was looking for.

yeah... i mean sure u loose 6-8" of depth, but at least theres not a giant gaping hole in the middle of it haha

That looks badass!

That is mikey's bed, he's got a 4in frame z hidden under it, I personally went with a z'd frame cause I wanted to keep a flat bed floor, and if I ever decide to pick up a regular bed I could easily put it on if the bed was body dropped...
