hey Badars, congradulations on the DSE mini tub purchase, you will not be disappointed. Let me know if you need and advice??

My set up is low buck to the max.
The rims are TTII 17x11 with a 5.5 bs which were bought used, tires are Sumitomo 315 35 17 whick are around 130 each on tire rack.com. The 8.5" 10 rear end is narrowed to fit rims.
Now the cheaper stuff.
The wells are cut and add stock tubs and landrum 175 lbs leaf springs.
The landrums are thinner than the DSE leafs so that allows me to retain the stock gas tank and move the leaf inboard with the use of spacers. I have 1" outer space and 1 1/4" inner space. The inner frame was notched but its not alot.

This is just something we did in the past and I like to go old school once and a while. But the DSE kit does cut alot of time and labor off of the job.
