Burb Frame vs. Truck Frame

[clemsonteg]

Are burb frames wider in the rear? I am trying to install a No Limit shock relocation kit on my burb and the shocks are angled in toward the center of the truck like the top mount is too far out. The only explanation I have is that the frame is wider on the burb and the mounts are designed on a truck frame.

The '63-'66 C10 Suburban/Panel frames are the same width as the '63-'66 C10,20 pickup frames. The '60-'62 C10 Suburban/Panel frames are the same width as the '60-'62 C10,20 pickup frames. The '60-'62 frames are wider in the rear than the '63-'66 frames.

Thanks, Captain. I guess there is some other reason for the shock mis-alignment.

I used then on my 62 fleetside and I had to trim them to 1" wide and they lined up fine.

Which part did you trim, the upper mount?

I trimmed the upper mount to 1" wide and it lined up with the bottom shock mount.

Thanks! Trimming may be in my future as well, although I don't understand why it is off so much when my burb is a 66 and the part is made for it.
