i was looking around on this site and i signed up awhile ago, but i dont think many of you saw my intro. i could probaly help with some questions. ive heard some people talk about going this far but not many have. my trucks an 89 2600i. stock tranny, xcase. 82 toy front axle, 87 toy rear axle, 5.71 gears in both. toyota sas kit from all-pro offroad. 5 inch springs in front, 5 inch rears, yes it is a toyota kit. the only problem adapting is the mazda frame is around 1 inch wider than the toyota. id suggest building your own front spring hanger to have the front leaves line up better. i ran the stock mazda front shaft with a toyota end welded on for awhile, until the slip stubb going into the t case stripped. i put a toyota flange on that and the shaft, only problem now is its not a high speed 4x4 a bit of vibs above low range 3 and high 2, no big deal cuse the stuff out here in washington is slow going. racing seats off of ebay, and RJS 4 point harnesses, cage can not come soon enough, oh yeah and 37 x 13.50 pitbull rockers. these tires kick A$$








if anyone has any questions let me know, either here or on aim/aol/msn hoppsxc140

 

hell ya i got some ??????
got some close up pics of the rear hangers on the front

i can rebuild the axles and make my own front spring hanger but the rear like you said is wider
so i thought about a plate welded to the frame and braced to the inside of the frame the welding the shackle hanger to the plate

 

i would suggest tube instead of a plate, but either would work.i took some pics tonight they will be in my putfile page, ill get some more tomorrow when its light outstide. www.putfile.com/hoppsxc140
