I'd look around at some other tahoes and burbs out there with the swap....
IMHO there is a reason Gm didn't put them on there, they just look like doodoo to me that way... Trucks can do it just fine, taillights and the back matches, the SUVs are more rounded all over and when you put the pointy front end with bubble back end you have no "flow?"

I always wanted to put the hd front end on a burb or tahoe it will look sweet. That trucks a mess though have fun. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Yeah there is a couple one got one in but by the time I got there they were cutting the frame to drop out drivetrain ... that sucks *** ...well I got the burban in the garage time to tear it down and see if its worth fixing

Supersub has that 03-05 style front end on his burban. He also has the SS Body kit modded to fit. He is on this forum but I found his build up on SilveradoSS site.

That ss burban is nice but over the past month I have sold 3 tahoe/suburban rears because they are breaking I'm thinking of going 3/4 ton with it either way I have a 4l80 for it a 6.0 , another thing I'm thinking of is a nnbs intake I just got rid of the 799 castings but I can get another set ..... I hope

Easy enough to do. Swap in a 14 bolt 9.5 and don't look back.
