ok finally some progress , I got a few hours in today, unbolted the box, broke off 2 bolts, not too bad, I removed the box from the truck by myself , it was 'nt that hadr really, dropped the gas tank, cut out the exhaust, took the rear wheels off and put her on jack stands , so here she sits, I will clean her up for the c notch install next, the figure out how to install the 4 link and build a watts link.://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l24/mazdamandan/dans%20mazda%20b2200/DSC01595.://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l24/mazdamandan/dans%20mazda%20b2200/DSC01597.

And I took the shackles off the rear and raised the rear axle to measure out the centering of the rear end, for the sake of acuratly locating the C notches, measure measure, weld.

The plan right now is to install an almost parallel 4 link, and a watts link, should be really safe and perform as well as possible for the crappy kit I got from FBI, the 4 link leaves a lot to be desired, in the fbss kit advertised real short arms, hard to say at this point exactly how much travel i will get. my rear bags are the slam specialties re-8 looks like a bag over axle set up is the only option with these puny bars.

Need to buy some tubing tomorrow to build crossmembers, bridge, watts link,gas tank mounts and all that.
