Depend's on your skill level, my car is far from hacked up or junk! I didn't need to go as narrow as I did with my housing, but did it because I may go with a wider rim and tire setup in the future. In my opinion these car should have all had the mini tub's from factory, that stupid lip in the wheel tub makes no sense. And as far as offset shackles go, your rear end is still the same width, so what are you gaining by going with an offset shackle?? I gaurantee you would never have got any bigger than a 245-255 under my car with the offset I had, the problem is with the axle housing length. If you don't feel that you are capable of doing this, than by all means don't, and try the other options. All I can say a lot of Dart's I see at car shows have the the mini tubs done.
