Dan,

What springs do you have to go with the double offset arm?

What is the largest tire that will fit with with a double offset and short spring?

How long would I have to send you my old arms?

Thanks

Patrick

JPatrick,
I have the fiberglass dual mount rear spring and a regular fiberglass spring that will work with the double offsets. All I have to do is shorten them up 1" on each side. Running a double offset is going to give you the same tire clearance as a regular offset will. There is no advantage running the double except for the spring bolt hole is moved in 1". If you have no rear sway bar and run the offset or the double offset, you will be able to run a 10" wide rim. I don't have the exact tire size.

We would like to have your cores in within a month but if it's a little longer than thats OK as long as you let us know.
