Offset Shackles Vs. Move Frame Rails?

[69keith]

I bought my full frame rails from Mike's Custom Cars in Rock Hill, SC. I was think ing of moving them inboard just enough to keep from notching them, I think there is room and not modify trunk pan. I just ordered tubs from DSE...

I left my rails in the stock location up front. The rails I used are straight instead of doglegged like the factory ones.Trying to move stock rails inboard is not worth all the extra headache if all you are trying to avoid is notching them.

If the CE ones require that much work is their anything else that you would recommend to save me some work. Is their anyone that makes straight rails that will fit the contour of the trunk. I will be sectioning the trunk or removing it completly. will be installing a 20 gal fuel cell in the rear. I looked at what roadkiller did and that just doesn't look very structurally strong to me.

I don't have the specs infront of me, but I got my rails from these guys.
