Hey everyone! so I have a 2000 Mazda b3000 (basically the same as a ford ranger) And whenever I bought this truck it had a lift kit on it. I'm trying to remove the lift kit and get it back to the correct height. Except I have one problem I cant find anywhere the information of the height of the stock leaf spring blocks. or if the truck even came with any! Attached are the blocks that came off my truck if that's any help to anyone. and of course if someone could tell me if it would be the same with a Ford Ranger cause my truck is BASICALLY the same thing but I know there are some differences. if anyone knows what the stock height of the blocks are or even better where I can BUY some please let me know

 

Welcome to the forum

Yes, same as a 2000 Ranger 3.0l

The thickness of the replacement block is really up to you, how low do you want the rear of the truck to sit?
The 4x4s had 2" block
2WD maybe 1" or no block

If you want the truck to sit level then do the front first, then you can see what block to use in the rear, for level or slightly higher, owners choice

I think you can get them from 1" to 6" in 1/2" increments

 

Hey! thanks so much for the response. I'm looking for stock configurations. So does it come with a 1" block from the factory or no block. Its super hard for me to locate the correct block and U-Bolt kit I need to buy. Let me know thanks!!!

 

Well there was no "came with" standard, it would also depend on the leaf spring package it came with
In 2000 I think Rangers had 3 leaf spring options, 3 leafs, 4 leafs, and 5 leaf heavy duty
Each leaf adds about 1/2"
So if yours has 3 leafs then 1" block, if 4 or 5 leafs maybe no block
The spec was about 1" higher in the rear, so if the springs did that then no block, if they didn't then a 1" block

If you think its too high then move the 1" block to ABOVE the springs, same u-bolts but an inch lower

It really is owners choice, for the look you want

Alright! Thank you so much. you've answered all my questions that autozone, orielys, and the mazda dealers couldn't. I appreciate it.
