To answer you question tho...You don't have to modify any suspension pieces to mini-tub...just the body has to be modified.

I didnt know if the wheels and tires would clear everything. Our True Street class allows tubs, and I believe stock suspension, that is why I asked....

I am building the same thing, but...when they say "stock suspension"...they mean...you must use "stock" mounting points...not stock parts....You will need to go with offset adjustable lower control arms,adjustable panhard bar, adjustable spring perches.

The rear is narrowed 3" per side. The wheel backspace is 5" on the wheels in the pics. I am about to order a 5 1/2" bs wheel. That should put me where I want to be!! Thanks for the compliments!!
