Default Rear suspension options with 335 tires

Am I missing anything or is DSE the only company that fits 335 tires with their 4 bar suspension. Seems like most of the other companies can't stuff as much tire.

Our Torque Arm rear suspension will fit a 335 no problem, and even a 345 if you are careful with your wheel backspacing.

We sell and install (4) 4 link solutions, and a 3 link, and the above mentioned Toruqe Arm solution. All will work with up to 345s.

Art Morrison also makes a non-intrusive triangulated four bar that will suit 335's...

Art Morrison can do their rear clip in triangle 4 link or 3 link. I have a 3 link coming for our personal project and will do a full install feature in Super Chevy Magazine.

Page 14 of the catalog here.................

Default just thinking out loud

Assuming the stock frame rails are left in their original position, the frame is notched as much as it can be, the suspension components are under or inside the frame rails... wouldn't all rear suspension setups handle the same size tire?

No, not at all. Where the brackets for the shocks are placed on the rear matters. Where the lower link is located matters. Many kits actually have bracketry that goes into the wheel house on the outside of the frame rail. Many suspesnsions only take 315 or 305 tires.

And many suspensions compromise good geometry simply for packaging. There are limitations to what one can do under the stock floor as it relates to suspension travel / ride height. All systems share the same limitations, some suffer more then others. Some systems eliminate the possibilty of tailpipes also which really sucks.

In summary, just because it is a trick rear suspension, 3 link, 4 link, Torque Arm, does not automatically grant monster tires.

335's are no problem with our Torque arm kit either. Our test car wears 335's with OE frame rails, mini-tubs, and tail pipes...
