C.Sanchez.A Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The shocks on my truck are shot and need to be replaced. I want to lower it, but don't know exactly what I need. I also need to change the brakes but, I will get to that later.

C.Sanchez.A Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Would this work? http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/61A6129A0A0A3406018.aspx Quote Click Links To View Build Logs 1994 - Mazda B3000 (Daily/Toy/Show) 2002 - Mazda Protege (Daily) 1995 - Hyundai Accent (R.I.P.) 1984 - Bronco II (Restoration Project) Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Not sure if the Mazda b3000 has the same front i-beam suspension as the 94' rangers but I had chassis tech lowered I beams on my 94 ranger and they were great. They gave me a 3" drop and ten I just flipped the axle in the back. (I don't remember adding blocks) DJM also had I beams that gave a 3"drop.

sprkn_ranger Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Here's a link to the ibeams for your truck: http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/ibe-ma9497.htm With these, it will maintain the stock ride and if you ever want to put airbags on it later on down the road you'll be ready cause you have to have these if you wanna lay frame.

Zachsb3 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 id just get some shorter monroe sensatracs, depeding on how much you lower it. just look through the monroe catalog for part#s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 If you use the lowered ibeams, then you can use stock shocks. My truck rode great with stock shocks and the lowered ibeams.

kidd666 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 for the back you should have a spring over axel setup so you could lower the back with just some lifting blocks. that or google the ranger station and you should be able to find ideas on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
