hey there, just picked myself up a b2200 pretty standard but its running a ford 2.8 v6

just got a couple of questions that id like to know the answers to, or possibly be pointed in the right direction.


1, i really want to drop the body, cant seem to find any info on how to do it on the b series truck. ideally looking for a 3" drop. ive already worked out a custom suspension setup for once its done to put the truck on the floor.

2, i would also like to know what ratio the b2200 rear differential is.


many thanks in advance

you want to do a 3" body drop? or just lower it 3"?

here is a link to a body drop on a mazda.

thanks for the replies and info

its an `87 year truck.

im looking to drop the body around 3" so the lowest part of the cab sits a little lower than the rails.
then the truck is going to get a major lowering suspension-wise, but i will be using a custom built setup for it

86-93 B2200 differential is a 3.909.

An 83 B2000 should be a 3.308
