body lift/ tires/ wheels - b3000

2000 Mazda B3000 4x4 (3.0 auto)

looking for 3"-4" body lift for my truck but can't find any under mazda.. should i go with a ranger body lift? i've been told i should change my shocks when i do the body lift so it can handle the "change". is this true?

tires- what is the widest tire size i can fit on my stock 15" rims (unsure of width)? want to give it an off-road look w/out having to buy oversized tires. where is the best site online to look at tires and wheels?

Anything that works on a ranger will work on your Mazda. They are the same truck. That should help you research your task a little.

A 3" Body lift and some 31's will fit nicely, with no rubbing, and look balanced as well... I got the lift from Performance Accessories, and it was very complete and thorough. Don't forget your shift extender if it's a manual!!!

Oh, and don't worry about changing shocks... You don't need to...

Thumbs up body lift

My 2000 took less than a day to do with a Performance Kit. hardest part is bumper brackets, fog light mod's, and lose of front tow hooks.
