Hey bro 1st off you have one amazing Burb!! Wanted to ask you a question and hoping youll be willing to help me. You posted the BS on the 20×8 Coy which was 5.5, I was wondering what is the BS on the KMC 22x11. Reason I'm asking I have an 82 C10 Blazer 2WD that i would like to have the same fender clearance, because once the wheels are ordered and cut there is a small room for era. And yes Im aware of a slight fender mod needs to be done along with lower control arm, I just want to tuck the wheels comfortably... Your help would be greatly appreciated,

Re: late build thread...LOL

Which equals out to a 6&5/8 BS so since these are 11 in instead of 10s it equals out to be the same

Re: late build thread...LOL

Just read this whole thread - HOLY inspiration. I bought a 90 Burb a while back and started on it, put it up for sale, nobody bit so I am continuing on with it. I am staying static on the drop (maybe some helper bags) and was wondering on the notch you did initially. I have a notch coming, but was wondering about the body mount that is right there. Did you do away with it? Thanks a million for taking the time to document this. Here is how mine sits now...



It is 3" spindles 2" springs and flip kit with lift shackles. It will just touch in the rear on a big dip so it needs a notch. Thanks!

OK, that is what I figured. I am hoping I can remove it, install the notch, and then bolt the mount through the notch and frame. I'm not sure how that will all line up though. It's funny how seeing someone else's hard work can motivate!!! Thanks!

Re: late build thread...LOL

think you could mount it to the side of the notch against the flat part of the frame
its only there to prevent clunking sounds when the axle is hitting the frame

dont know how big of a notch youre planning to make but a simple c notch can be made from a piece of waterpipe cut in half
if you dont want to lay awake at night worrying about the strength of the back half you could add a plate on the open side of the u of the chessis boxing it in
(make sure that you can still get at the brakelines dont burn trough the electric wiring and that sortah stuff )
not realy a need to pay through the nose for that if you have a welder and a grinder and acces to a scrap metal yard

The frame is straight back there so I think just about any straight notch is going to work. I found one from an 88-98 that a guy bought new and never installed for around half of what they cost new. I will know this weekend if it will work, but it looks like it will. I don't want to hijack this thread (any more than I already have) so the results will be posted in the 'Burban Build thread. Thanks for the information!
