I am slowly getting started on my 69 Camaro. It is more or less in stock form as far as suspension goes. I started the DSE mini tub install and have completed the install on one side. I have every intention to drive it home as I add components, with the exception of the LS. I know it will be sitting a few days for that. LOLs. Well I drove it home and all was fine. Today I started to work on the other side and got a funny feeling. As thin as the frame is where you notch it, is it safe to still run the leaf spring suspension? Or is the minitub solution specific only to those going the coil over route? It seems like a lot of stress on the rear portion of the frame after the mod Ive just completed. My frame is barely a 1/2" in width at the narrowest point in the notch. I have the full suspension system from Ride Tech including the TQ Air Coil Overs. I was hoping to do everything in phases. First get minitubs installed. Drive it until I get my wheels from True Forged, then pull rearend, place rear tires so i can get a good measurement for the Moser rearend. Im making my own lower links via parts from Ballistic Fabrication....Johnny joints,tube adapters,etc. Probably make the watts link and Torque Arm as well. The notched area just worrys me a bit.

Thanks,
