I took some new pics of the truck.

I flipped the lower ball joints & cranked down the torsion bars and removed some of the rear leaf springs. I plan on putting QA1 coil-over shocks on front and rear. I already have the rear shocks.

This way I can remove the torsion bars up front, and then I will make a custom rear suspension that is similar to a 4 link.

I will add more pics here as i upgrade the body. I have a set of Caddy tail lights for it and a roll pan for the rear. Also I have a tailgate handle re-locator kit for it.

I plan on shaving the door handles, and putting a Toyota 2wd front bumper and a Toyota 4wd front valance. The 4wd valance hangs down lower and covers more of the lower part of the radiator support. The 2wd valance leaves part of the radiator support showing which is sort of tacky to me.

 

 

 Isuzu Rodeo wheels 16x7

 

I found these wheels at the salvage yard, I got them for $120. Tire size is 225/60/16,

Rear of cab modified.

 

I had to cut the hump out of the back of the cab to make clearance for the sub woofer enclosure I made. I will upload the picture later, I need to finish welding it and grind it down so I can bondo it.

 

 

Dropped the rear another 3"

While the bed was off and I did body work to the hump that I removed from the rear of the cab, I decided to add a 3" lowering block.

The ride height is much better now, but the quality of the ride isn't. I need to install a notch on the frame so the rear end can have more travel space.

Thanks LWRD2500, Keep looking for the truck you want, these things can be bought for very little money. One guy on Mazdatruckin.com just bought an ext cab for 150.00 and it runs, has A/C and Power steering.
