I know this is Yotatech but my buddy has a Mazda pickup pre ranger style he had custom BJ spacer made but his torsion bars are located on the LCA. Would adding the spacers on the LCA give him lift, and if it does would it screw with the geometry?

 

They would probably lower it, actually.

 

I considered that as a possible scenario, but the torsion bars are located on the lca's which is a funky set up but it should essentially give the same result.

 

Assuming your saying that the spacer would go between the lower control arm and the ball joint, it would lower the truck. What year Mazda is it? That would definitely help us visualize it...

 

Yeah between the control arm and the ball joint its a 87' b2600 4x4

 

Depends on how the ball joint attaches to the LCA. If the ball joint sits on top of the LCA, then it will lower the truck. If the ball joint is below the LCA, then it would raise it. Might be able to add the spacer on the UCA and at least gain some additional suspension travel, depending on how the bump stops are set up.

 

If the ball joint was below the control arm, it would raise it, but then the issue arises of clearance for other components, like cv axles, brake calipers, and the actual wheel itself...
