Hit me up if you need to use a welder man. I think I seen your truck. Do you live on base in the houses right in front of the airport?

i did the spindle route on flameds10s mazdato lay it on 20s . I will NEVER do it again . like russ d said they bind up on the upper control arm, and push the wheels out a bit . not worth the money. next time i'd z the frame 1/2" before i'd buy anything from AIM

Hey Russ, I can get spindles for about $25/pr at the local Pull A Part here, and they always have a Mazda or two on the lot. Want me to try to grab ya a pair the next time I'm there?

also depending on your situ. your tierods may be hiting the sway bar mounts, cut um flush with the under side of the frame if they arent already.

where you stock sway bar mounts (im sure you dont have)the tie rods run right under neith of the mounts, its right inside of the frame where the ideler arm on pass side and steering box on driver side, if those mounts are still there your tierods are hiting them. since your away from home just try to find a sawzall and cut those mounts flush to the underside of the frame. if you still need a pic i can email you one.

also if you can get those balljoints fliped, whitch if you can do just the bottom, cut the hump out and mount on top of the lower control arm instead of under neith (ive never done top and ive had 23 mazdas and never had prob.) and get those sway bar mounts cut you should be laid out. also another thing to look at is that lower control arm around where it mounts to the frame, on the arm where it splits needs to be trimed so that it clears when laid out, if all thats done then like the others said your upper bag bracket is mounted to low.
