69 Dart - relocate rear leafs ?

jtkaaa07 said

I have the USCT spring relocation kit and mini tub kit on my 69 dart and love it! They make high quality products, and yes you can put some major tire on after doing this. Personally I didn’t like the offset shackles, I just think they would possibly bind. I put a 275/60/15 under mine and there is stil a pile of room. Springs are 36” apart and I shorted my housing down to 48” flange to flange

There’s no reason that DoctorDiff’s 1/2” spring offset would cause binding. If you offset the perches a 1/2” like you’re supposed to then the hangers, perches and shackles are inline just like they are with the stock equipment. Or with a relocation kit for that matter.

I ran a 1” offset kit on my Challenger for the 70k or so miles I put on it, it never showed any signs of binding because of the offset shackles. I have a 1/2” offset kit on my Duster too, although I replaced the shackles with spring sliders on that one. Not because of any additional binding, just an upgrade to sliders.
