moving the springs back, (like many you read about on here), may give you clearance, but takes weight off you rear end, not good for weight distribution or weight transfer-(traction). I would never move the springs or rear back on on a hottrod, if anything they need to go forward,of course tire clearance is the problem.
I will rework my fender wells to look stock rather than move things the wrong way/ just my opinion/ but true! -----------bob

Your right Bob. Reshaping the fender is better but I am not a painter and don't have the money to have mine painted so plates will have to do. In my case I'm only installing 3/16" thick plates to move the rearend back a small amount. I doubt that little bit will make much of a diff. but I am going to do a before and after test to see how it affects traction.

Im not talking about the inboard spring kit, im talking about the offset hanger that "bolts" into the stock location. The inboard kit that your referring to could actually be put "welded" where ever you wanted the front spring eye. i dont know if i would call that "installed incorrectly" I would also say that it depends on what shock is currently on your car that determins if its to short with a particular spring.

Sorry, I read it wrong.:banghead: Your right the weld in kit can be put where you want it but I figure installing it where it puts the rearend where it originally was is the "technically correct" (for a lack of a better term) way to do it.
