The control arms bolt on directly, the mounting points are 1/8" wider on the H2 (negligible) and the panhard bar can be swapped over (but it's really close to the diff cover, a custom bar would be better). The track width is 2 7/8" wider (difference is extra space between control arm mounts and hubs) so you can run wider tires easily.
Oh, 17" wheels are a must. The calipers won't clear anything less than 16.75" diameter. Bigger brakes, a lot nicer than what comes stock on SUVs.

Supercharged '02 Ssv Build - Z71Tahoe-Suburban.com
Was procharged 5.3, made 477 on 12psi
Now it's going to be LSA blown 6.0 shooting for low 600's on pump. Mid 600's on corn.
I need to update the thread there and maybe start one here

After a day of adventure and fun I discovered that the conversion u-joint I had was not correct for my application. I had found on the Internet that the part was a Precision #447 or NEAPCO #2-1153, but the caps were 1mm too big for my driveshaft. The correct part in my case is a Spicer #5-648X or a NEAPCO #2-3050.
