You will find the most info about the truck in the 88-98 forum. GM carried over the higher GVWR 2500 and 3500s as the GMT400 (88-98) body style through 2000. All components are the same as the older style, nothing new was added. Same goes with the 2007 "classic" trucks, and the 88-91 Suburbans/Crew cabs that were held over from the 73-87 body style when the 88-98 body was introduced.
The suspension is the standard torsion bar IFS front, leaf rear. Engine could be 5.7 vortec, 454, or the 6.5 diesel. 4L80e auto. What do you want to know about it?

The year had nothing to do with 6 lug to 8 lug, but rather the GVWR, the 6 lug 2500s were simply a lighter GVWR, just barely above that of a "heavy half" F44 1500.
