Default Lift Kit for a 89 Mazda?

Besides my jeep i have a 89 Mazda 4x4. Do they make any kinds of lifts for it? Haven't found one yet and I've looked everywhere. Any help would be great. Thanks.

When Ford bought Mazda out, Mazda's trucks became a different variety of Ranger. I don't know the exact date Ford bought them though. Does your truck have TTB up front or IFS? If it's TTB, then a Ranger lift will work.

There aren't any lifts for your Mazda. I've seen this question on many forums and actually a few seperate continents, and no, there aren't any. Basically you can crank your torsion bars a little, do something with the rear leaf springs, hack your fenders, and/or make a body lift to get bigger tires under it. Other than that swap a solid axle under the front with leaf springs or a custom coil setup is your other option.

Sway-A-Way does have some uprated torsion bars, so you could crank your A-arms up a little bit without getting a shitty ride and no suspension movement. www.SwayAWay.com We put a set in my buddy's 92 Toyota. $99 and they worked great. Excellent torsion bars.[img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

For the record, Ford doesn't own Mazda, they have a % of the company's stock. I forget if it's a controlling majority though, like GM has in Isuzu.[img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Here are some links to companys that have a body lifts for your truck. Never have seen a suspension lift that I can remember. Hope this helps.
