did you have to have a notch??

 

you can get away with out notching the frame but it will bottom out at 4" on a decent bump and smaller bumps if you haul/tow something, if your not going to notch take off the stock bump stops and install the small button head type

some are ok with this some are not its all about what your willing to put up with, i just notch

 

NBS 4-6 on 22s

 

does matter if you running on 20"

 

22x9.5 et 18 on 275/35r22 front and 285/35r22 rear. These tires run on the large side. I’ve had 4 sets of 22’s on two different lowered nbs Sierras.. probably had over 20 different sets of 22” tires over the years. So if you need any suggestions on what fits, just ask. This picture is On coilovers. Tape measure says it’s about a 4.5” / 7” drop. This setup needs a good amount of fender massaging and centering the axle under the bed perfectly. The rear fender lips rub the sidewalls of the tires when I have over 2000 lbs in the bed and the helper bags are struggling. Front fenders have the outer portion of the wheel wells cut out and the fender lips rolled and pulled out slightly. If you dont do anything with the front fenders, it will rub with the offset & width I have. You can’t notice the fender work just by looking at it. But people do notice the bigger tires. .

Did I mention the 285/35 rides far better than a 265/35?

 

sorry for replying to a thread from 2011 but i cant seem to find out how to message you. what is the offset on those wheels?

 

what is the part number of the kit you get for the 4/7 looks clean and I need it😁

 

Bringing this back to life for a noob Just picked up my 06 rcsb and wondering what’s the lowest I can go without messing with any mods on 22x9.5s? What offset do you recommend and tires size?

 

I’m at 4-7 also I got 265 35 22 on front and 275 35 22 zero rubbing

 

who did you use for your lowering kit?
