According to the DSE website it says you will need a narrowed fuel tank and mini-tub shocks. I am assuming you want to run a wider tire....if so you would need their offset brackets.

From the looks of it the Mini-tub kit is the way to go. It is $900.00 more than just buying the tubs though.

At the end of the day I think saving your money till you can get the tubs and the quadra link is the smart way to go.

Yeah that's what I would like to do but im about to get a new trunk pan and outter wheel wheels installed. What I was hoping to do is just knock out two birds with one stone.

Just remember the mini tubs remove the shock mounts in the trunk. No problem with a 4 link, but if you keep leafs you'll need at least the shocks and new cross brace to mount them. Scott
