    I have an unused fabtech lift kit for a nbs suburban, I was wondering if the front subframe is the same on suburbans as it is on silverados. I know I would just need u bolts and blocks for the rear,I'm tryin to sell it and someone with a pickup is interested I just want to know if it will work.

    I'm pretty sure the front ends are the same, but I didn't think the rear portion of the lift kit would be interchangable for the NBS's since the suburban has the 5-link and the pickups have leaf springs.

    Don't get your panties in a bunch. Sometimes it'll take a few days before people chime in. It's barely been a day since you started the thread.

    Yes, the front end is the same. It will fit.

    what he said the front end is all the same. so get some blocks for the back or AAL and he's set.

    the 4 door tahoes are the only trucks with different fronts. and that is only shorter tbar's. so all teh parts will bolt up you just cant use truck tbar's without some work.

    The front should work fine on a 1/2 ton P/UP but because the rear of the 1500 Suburban uses coils instead of leaves the person who buys this kit will only be able to use the front end components and not the rear. As someone said , he should only have to buy some rear blocks or AAL's.
