This sway its not the most common thing to do and a few people have done it, just gotta search around. Anyways, I did this swap and found some differences. I was trying to swap 4x4 3/4 suburban brackets/crossmembers/etc to a 3/4 ton 2wd drive frame. The height between the frame rails was different and the rear hangers off a suburban will be different. You'll need them off a pickup, 3/4 ton or 1/2 ton will work. Its still work in progess, but heres the tread. I suggest measuring before you purchase, but the rear brackets will be different.
