Yes it will work with a mini tub. Here is a G Bar with the biggest performance radials you can get, 345 / 30 / 19 with a DSE mini tub. Oh yeah, it looks fricken killer when someone drives up on you too. That is the side bonus!

Like Frank said, if you're going to mini-tub the car and use leaf springs, you're going to have to have your tank modified, modify a new one, or have a custom one made. Because of the cost, it opens the door to looking at different suspension options over the leaf springs.

But, with that said, leaf springs will work great. You can get the car to drive and handle excellent with them.

Bitch'n step up! I want to do something simular with my Nova, with a slightly smaller tire 315/18 or 335 if possible.

We have a customer doing a Nova, well, a Canadian Nova named a Acadian. Search Acadian on here and you will find some cool pictures.

Excellent pics, that setup is absolutely stunning!

Is that the stock tank in the picture or a new one? I plan on using a good amount Second Skin Damplifier over the floor and a lot around the wheel wells so that if i dump the exhaust in front of the wheels it wont be obnoxiously loud.


I would love to be able to use the stock tank and just repaint it.

That is a aftermarket stainless tank with the corners nothced. You could easily notch the corners of your stock tank though

Whats the smarter route? because i have to tap (2) -8AN fittings into whatever tank i go into. Maybe i'd be better off just ordering a custom tank that is slightly smaller, with the Fittings already put in?

You guys sell tanks too?!?! Looks like ill end up spending a lot of money with your company

LOL! Yeah, that happens sometimes but you save while your spending anyway. We actually do a lot of project planning and are supplying builders all over the world everything for their project.

Yes we sell tanks. Need to call and discuss your particular needs to spec out a tank.

This the same setup that I finally got setup on my car. Rides a lot better then the leaf springs that I had on the car and you have some adjustment on ride height..

And I would recommend prodigy for buying products.. Frank has been helping me with my setup and now I'm ordering more parts That I feel need replaced..

Smokey1226....sorry to steal your thread for a second. WILWAXU, like Frank said, if you want to see some pics of a g-bar with a DSE deep tub install in progress, check out my build thread (in my signature) and you'll see how it fits. I should be able to run 315's no problem.
