I wanna drop my truck a litlle but not sure what road I wanna go... are air shocks expensive?
1. keep in mind I still use my bed to haul around stuff
2. What's cheaper to do?
3. I don't want to sacrifice ride comfort, well I guess a little won't hurt
4. I don't want to be getting stuck on speed bumps...lol

All i'm really trying to do is shrink the gap in between the tire and wheel well after I put on the pathfinders

If you are just looking to get the truck a few inches lower, a body drop is not the answer for you.

To get a few inches lower, you could use drop blocks or new leafs in the back, and crank the torsion bars or get new control arms for the front.

Or do a full air ride suspension...its up to you really.

mazda shocks have the eye hole at both ends right?

i have a set of air shocks i can take out the mounting tab on the end and it will have eyelets at both ends and should work on a mazd after that...
