Suburban Suspension Swap????

I just bought an 88 Suburban, but its 3/4 ton, does anyone know how easy it would be to swap in the 1/2 ton suspension front and 12 bolt rear end, I already have all the parts. I want to swap it for lowering purposes and wheel selection. It's got the 454 with a turbo 400. Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,
ANDY

I think the leafs may have different eye lengths. The Skyjacker website shows eye length availability for their springs. You could use it as a reference?
