Offset shackles are used in conjunction with a minitub. You really do not gain tire clearance with the use of offsets alone.

speed tech claims you can pick up 1 3/4 inch of tire clearence using their product,just wondering..........

The Billet Aluminum Offset Shackles are CAD designed and made from T6061 T6 Billet Aluminum and machined to exact tolerances. The shackles are then hard anodized Black for greater wear. The shackles are used to move the rear leaf spring inboard 1-3/4 inches to provide greater clearance to fit wider tires. More...

if you just minitub, your wider tire will hit the spring. if you just move the spring, your wider tire will hit the tub. you have to move both to get maximum clearance.
