Youd be better off with building your own 4 link/5 link (or 3 link if you swing that way)

The frames arent similar enough to make using the OE links worth your time. You could use the diff and brackets with an aftermarket link kit however

If you sectioned frames together, I could see it being reasonably possible: provided the frames match up well
enough

A user by the name of Purple Pearl whom changed to Mortiz Attempted to do it.

I guess the REG cab fits on the Tahoe frame and bolts up, but mounts need to be fabricated for the Bed. The frame might also possibly need to be lengthened or shortened.

In the end he just stuck with Reg cab chassis

Again, Not worth the Hassle. The OEM 4 link was designed for comfort not racing.

But it does have about 50% anti squat at OE ride height 😇

PurplePower had some wild stuff going on. Dude always had some crazy iron in the fire that he never finished

he was my brother from another mother 😂
