What? That doesnt make sense. Of course you can throw on a susp lift!

[metalmacguyver]

B2600?

[Wicked_Sludge]

B2600?

i agree. you mean 2300?

and any suspension lift for a TTB dana 35 ranger/mazda will fit your truck.

No, the '93 was still a real Mazda, not a Ranger. It was a 2600i, a 3-valve 4-cylinder. A great motor. It's nothing like a Ranger and shares no parts or designs.

[rickcdewitt]

go solid axle or body lift

[Will]

I wouldn't do an axle swap. I had a '92 and the frames are thin. They are boxed, stiff, but thin. That's the main thing I like about RBVs--the frames are thick C section so you can easily weld whatever you want to them.

Body lift is a good option.

for some reason i was thinking the mazdas were merged with the rangers at the beginning of the gen III (1993) run...but will is right, guess they didnt start that untill '94 :sorrysign:

yea its not a ranger yet, b2600i, 4-cyl 2.6l, BUT; 3 Valve?? on the engine it says 12-valve

[krugford]

That would be 3 valves per cylinder....

[Boggin-B-Series]

wow.... how dumb am i, must be cause i was up for 23 hourss, sorry :)

no, 2600

go solid axle or body lift
YesYesYes, BUT, I Want Like Anywhere From A 5-7 Inch Lift, And That Sort Of Body Lift??? No,

Reason 1, It Will Look Silly Seeing The Chassis And Wheels Down On The Ground And Just Seeing The Body Up In The Air And Seeing Just The Bare Lift Blocks?

Reason 2, Body Lift Isnt No Help For Off-Roading, It Can Still Easily Strike,




But with the B2600 and most B-Series, the rear axle is half way up the pan so the chassis wont strike as easy as if the axle was back almost to the bumper like some of the GMC's from 2000-03

Thats a little to weird sounding to me. I have a 8" Skyjacker lift and it says from '83 to '97 on the box, so i don't know who's feeding you that. Just my say anyways. Good luck.

Your lift will fit a 83-97 Ranger

Pre-94 BSeries trucks were true Mazdas, whereas 94 & up were rebadged Rangers. I thought it started in 93, but Will correctly pointed out that it changed in 94

[Simple_serf]

I had a 2200 with the POS 2.2 Computer controlled carb. Those frames are THIN and have rot issues, so be careful with them.

These guys can probably help.

does a 87 mazda B2600, with a 4 cylinder engine, have the same engine as the 93, your discussing, with a 3-valve 4-cylinder engine...

if so what does the 3rd. valve do... is that an extra valve for intake, or exhaust...

does anyone, who reads this, know how to go about adjusting the automatic choke on a 87 B2600... so, it doesn't close so much, and make the engine run way too rich, on cold starts...

[BlackBII]

I beleive that the third valve will most likely be an extra intake valve, letting in more air and fuel for more power....

Those old mazda's are independant in front aren't they?

yes, the 87 mazda B2600 has independent front cvj axles... I don't really know if they are suppose as durable, as a ranger is, or not... since, a ranger's front end is made much different...

is the 87 mazda's B2600 2.6 liter engine, suppose to very durable and reliable, as I really haven't heard anything about them, before...

do you know anything about their history and reliability...

[skippy446]
