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

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
