Wider tires up to 10 1/2 inches. Better units than stock IMO. The only time you need to shorten the spring is if you go with the double offset t-arms. Van Steels standard offset t-arms don't require spring shortening.

lookup member "Gordonm" post about using stock trailing arms and 18x10 wheels with 5.5" backspacing with 275/40/18 and it all tucks perfectly under the fender. It is not widely know but if you are running 18" wheels you do not need offset trailing arms for 99% of the time as the stock trailing arms have clearance as the wheel diameter grows. Offset trailing arms are needed if you want to use wider 15/16" rims.

Only con I can think of is that they are not NCRS correct. Pros are that they allow you to put a wider tire on the car or wider tire and rim combo. They are a hell of a lot stronger than stock and I haven't seen 1 bent yet. They are 1/4" thick, c-channel.
