well thinking about it how would the rules read for the body drop? because you have to mod the outer skin of the vehicle and make the cab smaller right?

only rear bags? Also what size line, valves etc??

Will it be hard-lined?

Some good fab work.

depending on the body mounts and frame channeling, the body should remain within the same size internaly maybe a tad smaller. I dont believe Mazdas require a huge channel through to make it lay rockers. Outerskin should remain the same unless its being chopped as well. Then thats a whole nother story

it's the tad smaller that could get him DQ'ED //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Pull up to the mic / lay frame / 163 (ish) / pick up and roll out? Sound like a sweet plan!

 

[hunterw 10+ year member]

uh no, lol front bags too but we arent there yet lol. 1/2 line and valves. the dump valves will be made smaller. maybe 3/8s. so she doesnt drop all violent like lol. and it will just be d.o.t. 1/2 line.

will have front drop spindles and will have some LTZ tahoe 20s soon i hope //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

they are that strict? Laying rockers would just require slight floor pan mods.

i think it would be a 3in bd to lay rockers. and 2 to lay pinch welds

Gotcha, seeing you have some chassis tech equipment, I assume you have the valves and fittings from them as well?

I would personaly look into hard-lining it with brake line or hydraulic hose and steel compression fittings. The pushin-line valves and fittings ****. I hated them on my taco. Unless you are ok with slow leaks then no worries.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

but all it takes is some asshat asking about it then going to the judge.theres no proof you didnt make a gain doing a floor pan.

oh and why would you retire the truck???
