This is when i bought it...

Then I painted and add the flares from a junkyard b4000, leer cap bought off Kijiji for 250$ I painted the wheels, put on these 245/70R16 Toyo tires remove the beauty rings cause I often drive on back roads and didn't want to loose them...

I installed 2 inch lowering shackles, led driving lights, k&n filter... And a small lip below the bumper... I also found p71 hubcaps on which I've put skulls aluminum stickers to mask the Ford emblem...

I also bought a 8.8 axle with limited slip and 4.10 gears I plan to have installed..

Nice! I like the roof basket... What is your lift kit? Looks like you got a good 6 inches...

Kind of a mixed lift
Front- 4" Wnp Spindles with Bilstein shocks and sway bar delete
Rear-2" Belltech shackles, 2.5" Oem 4x4 blocks, pro comp aal and bilstein shocks

So overall around 4-5"

How do you like it without a sway bar in front? I rode my Suzuki xl7 without it and it was kinda scary with the lift kit...

Honestly it's not that bad, defiantly can't take corners like a race car but it did help gain some front end articulation
Can't say I noticed a ride difference over bumps like others have said though

Winter is there, and I've been ordering parts for my rear end swap... Brand new drums, cylinders and hardware... I also bought kyb gas shocks for the front. Just waiting on the nice weather to come back... 3-4 months from now... By the way, the truck has been awesome all winter, always started and didn't got stock..

I love the body lines on the Mazda.

Finally, I sold the LSD axle... I'm debating about keeping the Mazda for summer time use only, I've bought a Chevy tracker with low miles, it will be my winter/camping/offroad vehicle.
