Default 69 offset trailing arms

I was thinking about installing offset trailing arms and was wondering what companies you all recommend and what all mods need to be done?? I was planning on replacing the rear spring with a fiberglass one and I think it will need to be shortened?? What about the dog-bones, must they be shortened?? Anyone know of any articles on this subject??

The only mod you have to do is install the arm. Nothing gets shortened up. Not the 1/2 shafts or the strut rods. I manufacture and build them for most warehouses and others. You don't need a shortened spring but if you do I can help with that as well. Give me a call and we can chat about your different options.
