I would like the front to be tucked under to fender, so shortening the axle will likely be in the plans. The Suburban is sitting on a late 70s k20 frame so it has leafs up front already. it will be 12v Cummins powered.
Could always build a tube axle like the HD Dodges used. Make it to fit using D60 "Cs" and outers, brakes ect. Basically it would be a K30 SRW installation without gears or axles, just a tube.
