[NorCalToy]

mazda b2000 b2200 rear 2wd springs 86-93

thanks. so what length are they as a stock pack?

[toyotanner]

the only thing that sucks about dual shackles is the axle wrap but it will work til you have $$ for other stuff

thanks. so what length are they as a stock pack?

honestly i dont remember.... but if i am near some soon i will measure them.

[Yota-Freak]

axel wrap? sorry u lost me with that term...i kno a decent amount s#!t, but ive never heard of that. explain please?

[toyotanner]

basically your axle will bounce up and down speratically when in certain situations

haha...i had that heppen to me earlier today...when the 35s started chirping...

[Yota-Freak]

is it just a rougher ride...like wont break ur truck?

[toyotanner]

basically it kind of just makes your rear axle a little less sturdy.

[Yota-Freak]

well im cool with that=) u think that will give my current springs alot more flex? or should i still try to get some new springs as well?

[NorCalToy]

your rear end starts hopping and jerking, bouncing kinda.

[boggerunner]

if u get bad axle hop and keep in it, u run the chance of breaking a u-joint

[Yota-Freak]

that reminds me to get a new ujoint...lol thanks...i have so much play its not even funny.

Never could get anything out of those 2nd gen springs either.  I'd use the 63" chevy springs or make a mish mash pack with no overloads and some longer shackles like they say, then use a little bit longer shocks.  For the IFS: I tried those ball joint spacers on an '86 last year and you know what... they add quite a bit of flex to the IFS.  I didn't have any issues either except that you really, really need to adjust your alignment afterwords.  You should probably get an idler arm gusset from downey though to help keep your steering alive!

Weld up your rear diff if you haven't already, then flex doesn't matter so much anyway...

Wheel On!

im a little short on cash, and tires are my priotity right now...but yeah i wanna get some new leafs and dual shackles for the rear...and do what i can to the front.

[GJToyotabug]

what i would do is:

move the rear springs into an A shape
longer shackels
pull the sway bar
take the extra shocks off the front

or SAS that beast

[Yota-Freak]

I've never seen this A shape for the springs? Do you have a picture?

[Yota-Freak]

think he ment shocks bro

[Rocksurfer]

I know

[GJToyotabug]

lol yeah i ment the springs, go from the axle to a center cross member /   \  i have a little scale model kinda like it but not so dramatic lol

[Rocksurfer]

  You are still saying springs.

[Yota-Freak]

HAHAHAHA, its all good dude...my dad gets pissed when i call "sockets" bits..lmao

[GJToyotabug]

dam!! SHOCK!! GOT DAM I CAN'T DO NOTHIN!! lol

[GJToyotabug]

[Yota-Freak]

now lets say it all together....shocks...=) lol...Id like to say to all you guys...a big thanks for all the info and help. its put my mind at ease. on top of that...i got this brilliant idea that maybe its just my outter CV joint that is all messed up/filled with dirt...im gunna check it tomorrow. i hope its just that instead of the whole shaft.

[Yota-Freak]

lets totally screw with em and call it a power plant=)

[Rocksurfer]

 

Just don't want nobody to try and make an A from their springs, that may work over in yotatech but we have good tech here.


Motor is electric silly.

[Yota-Freak]

hahaha poor GJ, Rocksurfer is never gunna let up on u dude.

[GJToyotabug]

[Yota-Freak]
