      front leaf spring mount

      What are you guys using for a front spring mount when using DSE's tubs and offset rear hangers. I thought I could unbolt the spring pockets and move them to the inside of the frame, or is this unecessary to fit a 315 tire? I plan in using Spedtech offset hangers in the rear and some bolt on spring mounts to the axle. Trilogy does this sound familiar????

      off set

      You won't have to move them for 315's you just loosen the bolts and tweek em over abit then set up your rear perches then tighten the front perch bolts. Now for 335's thats another story.

      335's.....who......what ????
      lmao !

      exactly what vince said.
      i am leaning towards wanting to run 335's but i'll have to widen my DSE tubs more to accomplish this, plus with a 335 i'll have to midify the front spring perch somehow to also accomodate......kinda undecided on 315 or 335

      335's

      ahhhh 335's don't forget you'll have to notch OR move your frame in 1-2". I have a front perch design if your looking to do the 335's. Its just reinforcing the section on the inside of the frame and making a bracket mount.Pretty slick and doesn't hang down at all. let me know

      Speedtech shackles

      As for the web site I think it is like speedtech-performance.com. Remember sometimes you get what you pay for. The ST shackles are thinner all around than the DSE shackles and they are not hardcoated like the DSE ones. If you want to save some cash than buy the ST stuff, if you want the best buy the DSE.
