Ok so Im looking for a rear axle complete along with a suspension that will allow shockwaves. Car is tubbed and the wheels are 20x12 with a 5.5 backspace. What do you suggest?

We can build whatever you need. Call me at the shop

We've had great success with our direct-fit rear clip:

Available in triangulated 4-bar and 3-link. The tri 4-bar clip requires no floor cutting whatsoever, and the three-link allows you to still retain the rear seat. Imagine being able to replace your .045" thick 2x3 frame rails with a mandrel-bend 2x4x0.120 welded assembly. Talk about a stiffness improvement! You can keep your stock fuel tank too with minitubs.

Same suspension used in our 3G Vette that turned over 1.05G on undersized tires. It works!

If you're in Roseville CA, Chassisworks is right around the corner. They have a couple different options that would work for you.

REALLY? I was really set on the AM 4 link but it would be nice to see the CW in person.

You can get pretty much any width axle housing you want. Normally for a 12" rim we recommend a 47.25" housing (housing width, not axle mount surface width) and 4.5" B.S.

Shipping is somewhere around $500 fully loaded, but don't quote me on that!
