Yes to do a mini tub you will need shock spacers and shock brackets. Linginfelter use to make it but I don't think they make it anymore.

Man I really don't know, either have something custom made or see if one comes up for sale, that was never installed.

dont believe you need to relocate anything, pretty sure my friend who did his 01z didn't and runs 355 on rear. if you don't find a for sure answer to your liking pm me nov 12 and I will ask him when I see him. good luck.

According to this is have brackets and spacers for the shocks. But im not 100% sure where or how it moves it.

you dont need that Lingenfelter kit to do mini tub,

you just need to think outside the box and know a lil bit of figerglass work,

with my widefenders and mini tubbed i can probably fit 425 wide tires hahaha and its also modified to run taller tires up to 29.5 inches tall

sorry i would share how its done but my friend and i do this service for local vettes, got to make side mod money some how hahahhaa

well the least of my worries is the fiber glass.. im after the shock relocation kit because if you run anything over an 11" wide tire it will hit. I have read many people also complain of rubbing when cornering hard. there is a reason why lingenfelter included the shock relocation kit in this setup. i must say that is insane how close your quarter panel is to your tire. there is like half and inch between them. on new york roads thats not possible. On another note i must say that is a really nice looking setup you got. L5 Flared 3"?
