just curious as to what bags everyone is running in the front of their mazdas? I am about 3/8'' from untucking my 18s up front and using conitech bags, truck is body dropped 2&3/4''. Trying to avoid cutting the front bag brackets out.

You might want to try unflipping your ball joints if they are flipped, and see if the truck still lays out. Re6's may give you the extra lift you need, since they don't balloon out as bad.

The RE-6's clear my 18's on the front of my Mazda with the same amount of BD as your's.

no sd.com cups, previous owner did homemade tortion brackets. no flipped ball joints. I'll try the re6's.

make sure the bag is squishing all the way. If it takes 50-60 psi before the truck even moves, you are losing lift.

also, if you have drop spindles, make sure the upper arm has been trimmed at the outmost edge by the balljoint. The arm will hit the spindle if it isnt and keep you for getting more height.

^^^ you can probably run 3/8" worth of spacer in there to get the extra lift.

bags are completely compressed layed out no room for spacers. no spindles either...lays on stock components.
