You know, it’s a funny story….I never did add a zero rate. The Suburban turned out almost perfectly level so I didn’t want to add a zero rate then be one inch higher in the rear. The other odd thing was when it was wearing tall skinny Super Swampers the wheels looked really far forward but once I added the fender flares and changed the tire/wheel combo to the 315/75R16’s the tires look more centered in the wheel house so with that I just left it alone. My K10 does have a the ORD zero rates but I added those more to help it sit level after a front D60 install more than to center the wheels in the wheel house but the centered wheel looks so much better to boot.

This is how the rear suspension on the Burb turned out


Before flares


Not a very good side view pic but the tire looks more centered with flares and shorter tires


Here is the zero rate installed on the K10




Before Zero rate


After Zero rate. Sat level and fixed the wheel position in the wheel house
