I have a '68 Camaro I want to mini-tub the rear-do i have to change the front leafspring mounts, or just pull the rears in 1 3/4 inch?-Chris

If you go with the DSE kit, you can use their offset shackles for the rear mount and not have to touch the fronts to get up to a 335 tire to fit. You will need to notch the frame and use a new gas tank.

Thanks Chris, yeah sorry to say that the minitub was not fun but I wouldn't build a firstgen without it. I love the big meats in the back - just wish I would have gone with the 335s - but it was my first time and I was worried about the clearances enough with the 315s.
