just curious to see how many people are running drop spindles w/ a body drop and air ride. i am trying to do this, but i am not getting much lift, as you can see my upper arm is binding w/ my spindle and i cant get more lift.. anyone know a fix i DONT want to run factory spindles cause my tire sits like 6" or so inside my fender laid out and has so much camber it doesnt look that good.....

i dont see anything.

but unless the balljoint is binding, you can trim the control arm where it is binding on the spindle....

^you hit he nail on the head ryan Russ D is considered the Mazda GURU. now back on topic, are you running stock upper and lower arms and what size wheels are you running Im running 17 with kustom werks arms with the drop spindles and yes if I was to body drop it I would be right at the top of the tire but to remidy that problem move your bag inward or get some slam bags I hear they get way more lift then firestone. hope this help bro.

HOLY JESUS, there is your problem, flipped ball joints.........and drop spindles, no wonder you got problems, you need to hack off your air bag bracket, flip those ball joints back they way they were, and do that shit again man. ill put money on it!
