another question,, i have had a good read thru both the 'ridetech' and the 'alston g-link' setups.. I did notice alston has an upgrade to be compatible with 'mini tubs' which takes it to $2100 ... i see no mention of any problems with mini tubbed cars on the ridetech site..its around $1800 with decent coilovers.. is this something that i should be mindful of if i went for the ridetech setup? Im trying to save a buck if i can as i have to ship these heavy parts downunder which will cost close to a grand for shipping id expect.

I removed my leaf springs, installed DSE mini-tubs, installed the Ridetech 4 Link system (part #11167199 plus coilovers) and installed the wheels...no problems.

Because the Ridetech setup uses full-width bushings that appear to put the link centered in the leaf spring pocket, but the Glink setup has a separate insert that fits into the link's forward bearing, so for a mini-tubbed setup, you can buy offset bearing inserts to move the bearing (and thus link) inboard. Nice setup..

Our set up does in fact use a full length bushing in the stock front leaf perch. However, the bars are welded offset to the inside. They clear a 335 tire, no problem (use the search and you'll see a ton of posts about this).
