I have not previously heard about doing this.

If so, I would expect that there would still be width issues. He probably is saying 12" would have been better if he was measuring the stock wheelbase and didn't take into consideration putting the rear axle back the 1.5" it really needs to sit in the wheel wells. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 | Yes, the frame on a '90 Suburban is the same as the 73-87. In fact, they used the 73-87 style frames through 1991 on the Suburbans, Blazers and Crew Cab trucks.
