Hi there I知 new in here. I知 wondering if I can install a ford ranger leaf spring into my mazda b4000? Do I have to modify it or just bolt on?
Thanks!

 

98 and up Rangers will fit your year Mazda. Only differences between models and years might be the stiffness of the springs. Some are 3,4,and 5 leaf setups with different spring tensions. More leafs = more spring tension for carrying heavier loads but at sacrifice of stiffness in ride to a point.

Replace those leaf brackets and hardware if they are getting really rusty also.

 

Welcome to the forum

They will fit, just bolt in, but..................
There were several different weight rating leaf springs on Rangers and Mazda B-series

Examples here: https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/leaf-...uv/ford/ranger

So number of leafs can be the same but have a 300lbs load difference

What this means is that its best to swap BOTH sides so they match, or truck could lean to one side in the rear

 

Ron, why does that site have springs listed to fit up to 2003? Is there a difference between 03 and 04 springs?

 

Yea, don't let WhistlinDiesel see you in a partial squatted truck. He will demolish it.

 

No, they are all interchangeable as far as fitment, but I think the weight ratings changed in 03/04

On the driver door label, build sheet, the spring type is listed for front and back for your truck, a code number, Ford changed codes and springs over the years
