Q:`91 Suburban Leafs on`71 PU Frame

I`m thinking of parting my`91 3/4t 4wd Suburban and using the 4" EZ-Rides on my`71 shortbed.Without me looking,I was wondering if the new mount location would sit in a way that would set the truck up higher.I really need at least 6" with what I`m planning for my shorty.I have proper 6" EZ-Rides for the front already.Just looking for more flexy and smoother ride.I could combine with a shackle flip in the rear and get another inch in front with a zero-rate.
Do you all think I should forget this and keep the Suburban frame intact?It needs a motor and the body needs attention.I was kinda planning of finding a donor Suburban for the motor & body or pull body and build a 67/72 longbed stepside with sheetmetal I have.I have a `71 350 or another diesel (6.5),too.It has a 4L80E/NP241 combo,35" MTRs,big fuel tank/skid plates,4.10.I was getting 22mpg hiway before problems with the 6.2.....
....just ponder`n.
