Rear c notch squarebody suburban

Just saw this advertised: I have not ordered it etc.
Tin works Fabrication offers a c notch kit with body mount as part of the bracket for the squarebody suburban. This might be the first mass produced kit for this?

It looks like the first mass produced one that might actually fit, and the only one that addresses the body mount.

Re: Rear c notch squarebody suburban

Just a question.
The addition of the c-notch addresses the issue of the axle TUBE hitting the frame after the flip kit is installed.

But doesn’t the center section of the rearend get really close to hitting the bed floor?

Re: Rear c notch squarebody suburban

Speaking from experience, you can notch this much and don't have to worry about a 10 bolt hitting the floor. What is more of the issue at this point is that the tires will hit the tops of the inner fenders.....ask me how I know....
