Ok heres what you need to know.

I got a 1992 mazda b2200 EXT cab , now its bagged of course and has a 2.5 inch body drop i was wondering if you guys think i should still make it go side to side right now it only goes up and down i would like side to side but im worried about the body gettin smashed i was thinking if i raise it all the way up , go on the side a little bit it wont hurt it but tell me your opinions

i had f.b.s.s. on my yota before it was body dropped to the doors. it will only have front and back now. it sucks having to repair rockers.

if you really want it then you should get it. build your truck the way you want it. like i said mine had f.b.s.s. as well as see-saw and pancake, and pancake was my favorite. with 1/2" valves my truck threw sides so fast there wasn't much chance to stop it. so if you do go for sides i would recommend putting on those valves that slow down the drop. replacing messed up rockers isn't fun.

You always are going to have better handling with a 8 valve setup (fbss) because with just front and rear your bags are tied together and will trade air when taking curves even at slow speeds I have a bodydropped to the doors S-10 and I run fbss on it but I never hit sides I just go up and down I have fbss on all of my trucks not because I want to play more but because it increases the handling and stability of the truck
