I think the body mount points will be identical. The C20 frame will be thicker material. The trailing arms are the same but the C20 arms have a reinforcing channel nested in the main channel. The added piece is not even the full length of the arm. There is no reason not to use the arms.

Good luck on the swap. I've only done cabs and beds, a Suburban sounds like a project.
