Plus will the older style body kits even bolt up to yours?

 

Check out my FTW page @ http://www.ftwtrucks.com/fordman33

and you will see the Razzi Body Kit, and the Xenon front bumper. Overall the Mazdas and the Rangers are the same body. The biggest difference is in the front (bumper, grille) and the rear taillight setup. Other than that things are the same underneath and on the body.

As for the Extreme Dimensions....that's a diff story, at least where the kit molds into the cab area. I don't know about the Mazdas, but the Ranger Regular cabs grew by 3 inches in 98. That body kit says it is for up to 97. I'm sure a quality body shop can use more fiberglass and extend it to fit. But that's up to you and what you want to.

Good luck.

 

why are you lowering a 4x4 agian?

 

cuz i can...

the trucks at that height where it could go either way.....up would cost more money and honestly i think it would look like ***....but lowered it relatively cheaper, i can gain some cool points for looks/handling....and i'd be one of the first lowered mazda b4k's....

 

looks like crap....


and my photoshop does too...i used Zero's bumper......the blue didnt mesh well with the white...

 

im in the process of lowering my 4x4... i can get 4 in in the front and 5 maybe 6 in the rear...

 

haha, we'll be the lowered 4x4 bro's!

 

lol

 

Ill try to get my friends cam today and get some pics...

 

hells yah man,i just wanna see what its gonna look out w/o the aid of photoshop

 

ok done... i finnish the back this afternoon...


1st pic is before
2nd is after

 

Heh only thing I can say is be careful and watch all your 4x4 hardware. Looks good anyway though.

Brent, I say you go the route Scotty went and do the 04 valance conversion. It looks sssoooo good and will really make the mazda front end look awesome.

 

yeah i know...

btw, i used ur cardomain site as a pre-guide... thx

 

 

chris, how long did it take u to do this?

it looks bd bd bd !!

 

I wasnt really paying attention to time but it was 3hr at the most, a little exageration... The first side took the longest because i was sorta experimenting but after the experimentation, the second side went in like 45 min tops

 

how exactly did you accomplish this? Torsion bar flip? And you flipped the leafs in the rear or what?

 

I took out the blocks in the rear and uncranked the t-bars

 

I'd say Brent if you think it'll look good, go ahead & lower it. I think it'd also look sweet w/ the Ranger front-end!

Brenton

 

why the hell did you lower a 4x4? Rangers look stupid when they are lowered anyway. I don't mean to be rude, they just don't look right to me.

 

Cuz its my truck and i can do whatever the **** I want...


I agree... the ones that are 1inch off the ground look stupid... but is mine slammed?? **** no

 

Boy... some people are pretty close minded...

I'm glad there arent many others out there like detroitmuscle on this board.

 

here is a good pic that shows about how low mine sits.

Not too low, but blocks removed, and torsion bars loosed just a little.

 

yah...i like it not slammed...just sport-ly dropped....

and i'll be tuckin 31's too! haha

 

Wow, wow, wow, i think Rangers are very badass sittin on the ground or about 1 inch away from the ground no offense to anyone who might think otherwise tho.
