Create the rear tire clearance your Mini-Tub build needs with the Detroit Speed Offset Shackle Set. Engineered to move the rear leaf springs inboard, part number 040901DS provides a 1-3/4-inch shackle offset that helps open up valuable space for wider rear wheel and tire combinations. Detroit Speed specifies clearance for 335 tires with a 13.5-inch section width on Camaro and Firebird applications and 315 tires with a 12.6-inch section width on Nova applications when the vehicle is properly configured.
These aren't simply bent versions of stock-style shackles. Detroit Speed computer modeled the design, optimized it using finite element analysis, tested it, and CNC machined the finished shackles from billet aluminum. The design is engineered to provide maximum suspension travel while moving the leaf springs inward for increased tire clearance. The complete set includes four offset shackles and Grade 8 mounting hardware and is designed to work with Detroit Speed rear drop leaf springs as part of a properly configured Mini-Tub system.
