how long are those mazda? we have 52" rear springs off b2000 series trucks that lots of guys use on the rear of their toys here. i have a set of late model toy rear 51" that i wanna put up front but didnt htink it was gonna work as my current mounting positions are for 48" springs. yours seems to work and fit great, but are those the 52 inch mazdas??:confused:

Why is the crossmember skidplate on backwards, or is everything turned around down there.??? :D

I'm interested in some more info too.How long are those? Ive got the 52"s in back and would love to be able to run the same springs front/rear. Thanks

from the looks of it those are not 52".
my guess would be that they are the springs out of the earlier models, like the sundowner over here in the US.
the reason i say that is, i found a six leaf set in a diesel that had approx. the same dimensions as toy rears, except no mil wrap and less lift, i ended up mixing those in with my toy rears up front.
i have seen a couple different pack set ups in those trucks, some have more leafs than others.

i think to run 52s up front you would have to move the hanger 5" forward and that would somewhat negate approach angles.

aus guys forgive me if i am wrong but that is what it looks like to me. any confirm on this would be great.:)

these springs are the same length as toyota rears - they come out of 97+ 2WD mazda bravo's over here
