front bump stops

im going to say your shock is going to bottom out and if you take you shock out then its going to hit your upper control arm well it atleast did for me and then i cut i peace out of that and then it hit my fender

larger overall diameter tires might hit inner fender well, upper control arm comes into contact with the upper shock mount on the rearward corners unless you trim the corner of the upper shock mount, you can bottom out shocks (i'm running 91 isuzu 4x4 6cyl shocks up front on my b2600i, with a balljoint flip, and my b2200 has isuzu 4x4 shocks and both have no problems with the 215/40-16s). the isuzu 4x4 shocks are shorter than factory mazda shocks, and have quite a bit of hold to them and keep the front from bottoming out.

here are a couple pics where i cut out and grinded smooth the front bump stop, passenger side

With bumpstop mount removed and control arm trimmed so it doesn't hit shock mount, how much ground clearance do you have? R you guys who are running like this not using the torsion bars?

torsion bars are still in, its the upper shock mount that you want to trim, not the upper control arm, and on my 16s with 40 series i scrape on various angles/objects. exhaust maybe clears a pack of smokes

As I remember, once you remove the bump stop mount and factory shock the next thing to hit is the upper shock mount. Trim it and the lower control arm will hit inside the frame pocket. This is without flipping the BJ's (I've never needed to flip 'em). At this point you can still clear 205/40-16's inside the stock inner fenders. With the torsion bars indexed and preloaded you can get away without a shock on the front, or use something shorter as others have. Regardless, this is about as low as you wanna go static. If I remember right, this setup set the frame just about an inch off the ground.

Best way to trim front bump stops is a serrated long kitchen knife. funny but it works.

Damn i wish i would have thought of that, was a bitch with a grinder

I just un bolted my front stoppers and cut 3/4 of the rear. She rides like a dream lol.
