The package was originally designed to be bolt in only but ChassisWorks services a more hardcore performance/drag racing crowd than AirRide as a rule. They`d like to see it welded in addition to the bolts to take a belt and suspenders approach and add some additional strength. Not a bad idea at all. Bolt in only should be fine for cruising and general street use but if you`ve got 750hp and a 6 speed by all means weld it in too. Mark SC&C

I guess the part I'm really confused about is mixing it with the mini Tub. the mini tub notches out a part of the frame. Is this anywhere close to where the G bar is mounted?

The DSE offset shackles moves the rear of the leafs toward the gas tank about 1-1/2" and they use the same under body mount in the front.

The G-bar also uses the original front mount however, the G-bar is only 1" in dia. The leafs are 3" or so inches wide. In theory, you should gain more clearance using the G-bar than the offset shackles.


Hope this helps.
