Got the old rear out , finally getting ready to get the chassis work done .
I want to move the Dana back 1" in my 68 Cuda for larger tires .
I have the Mopar spring relocation kit , and Superstock springs . The springs will be inline with the frame .
And the car will be mini tubbed .
Will the shackle interfere with this brace ?
It looks like if I drill a hole 1" rear of this one it might interfere .
Any pics and tips guys ?
Thanks Donnie

My personal preferance would be to massage the wheel opening rather than move the rear back. I left my Dusters in the stock location with a 29.5 tire but still had to massage the front and rear of the wheel opening because leaf springs move around too much.

I agree with guitar jones, although I just had to massage the forward portion of my rear wheel opening.
I am running 29x12.5x15LT tires.

The spring relocation kit goes where they tell you to put it.
You will not worry about the original location any more and it should not interfere if kit is installed correctly.

Here are some before and after pics on my 67 notchback barracuda.
