Homemade Spring Offset kit

famous bob said
We`ve been thru this before, I know u have seen every offset kit made by everybody in the world, but if u have to indent the frame rails to get the front hangars in and drive them in somewhat w/ a hammer , before the chassis stiffening, u will have more than 1/2" in the front hangars. I measured mine before installation , they WERE over 1/2" . All parts and cars are not the same on cars and parts that were not cnc . When I dropped my dana 60 in it did not move the springs one iota , the guy I bought the dana from , installed the spring hangars and shortened the rear 1" shorter than A body specs, before adding the disc brakes. The guy really knew what he was doing, fit perfectly.
Show me someone else that has 295 65 d15 tires on a stock fender well, w/ just the front edge of the fender well lengthened .

By the way, this is the only thing I`ve ever disagreed withu on.
For most of the offset kits, U ARE RIGHT !

You can disagree all you want Bob, I don’t care. Facts are facts.

Maybe someday you’ll actually get out a measuring tape and measure the offset difference between a set of stock front hangers and an MP set. Should that day ever come, you’ll realize you’ve been wrong the entire time. Unless you put the spring eye inside the frame, it’s a 1/2” offset. And if you did that, the spring would rub on the frame. The modification to the frame rail is needed because of the poor design of the MP hanger, the nuts stick out too far. But that doesn’t mean it has more spring offset. The offset on it is identical to the DoctorDiff hanger, it’s only a 1/2”. The only part that’s offset 3/4” in the MP kit is the shackles.

And the MP hangers are what I have on my Duster. Seen ‘em, measured them, installed ‘em. The MP hangers are offset a 1/2”.

Here is the thing. I considered doing the spring relocation, actually planned on it later on in the build but I got to measuring on my car and of I did the relocation I'd have to move my entire exhaust(dont want to I like were its at).
Like you said I would need to do a mini tub dont want to do that either I want my car to remain factory in the metal. I'm not a good enough body guy to attempt a project like that.
I would also have to get different rims with more backspace to put the tire in instead of out. That's a no go I already have the rims I want to use.
And I really dont want to cut and weld my frame. And I really dont think I'm gonna need that much tire anyway. It's just a stockish 360. I may change my mind on that after I start driving it haha.
I would like to run like a 255 60 tire.

What car do you have?

A 255 will fit a lot of cars without any spring movement. Usually the 1/2” offset will let you go as wide as 275 on a Dart or Valiant body. Or in my case a 295, but that only works for the sport body cars (Demon, Duster, Dart Sport, Barracuda).
