My 1995 Mazda B3000 and its potential

[Madchad1222]

Hi there everyone, I recently purchased a 1995 Mazda B3000 2wd 5 speed Supercab. I've seen a YouTube video of the skyjacker leveling kit on a 4wd and was wondering if it would be worth my time to do it? I'm torn between 31/10.50-15 and 33/12.50-15. And yes, I'm going to do the 4.10/8.8 LSD and if needed disconnect my sway bar before this. Do I need trac-bars and are there bolt on options? I'm going for daily prerunner and I'd appreciate input and I apologize for an exhausted thread. My truck is bone stock original owner and I'm a greenhorn to all of this, but I feel this is the best platform to start with.

Better Do the 4.56/4.88 gears for that size tires. And do a whole lift kit.

First of all... congrats on the new to you truck and Welcome to TRS.

I don't think there is much you can do to your truck to get 33 inch tires under it using stock suspension parts. They do make long travel 2WD pre runner suspension systems and even lift spindles that will get you there.

Have a look in the Tech Library for some options on what you can do to get you where you want to be, Also look through the classifieds here on the site... I think there was a 2WD pre runner long travel kit for sale not long ago,

I did move your post over to the 2WD suspension forum. There are several people on here that have some pretty sweet pre runners... maybe they will chime in and offer some helpful information to get you where you want to be.

Thanks to protouringranger and uncle grump. I'm not familiar with the 4.56/4.88 ratio? I've heard that's a custom deal not factory axel ratio? I appreciate all input and would be glad to discuss my options with veteran Twin I Beam and Twin Traction Beam owners as I'm still new to this but I'm familiar with the concept. I've only owned my B series for a few days but I enjoy it very much.

We have a tech library with a lot of helpful information. We'll help as much as we can here in the forum. But, meanwhile, check this out.

The Ford Ranger Front Suspension - The Ranger Station

The Ford Ranger came with two basic styles of front suspension depending on the year it was produced. The twin beam front suspension was used from 1983-1997, and an IFS (Independent Front Suspension) has been used from 1998 to … Continued
