You don't have to pull the entire crossmember. I did this with the exact same year burb you're talking about and just bolted to newer arms to the existing crossmember. You can swap the crossmembers, however, if you choose. I think there are 2 holes that have to be drilled and all the others bolts up. 73-87 trucks will work for this swap, as well as 88-91 suburbans.
