I would considder that tho if i was able to keep the lift to a bare min . Still needs to be the family hauler .
The newest chevy I've done was a 96 and we retained the 4x4 IFS. I got the engine, trans, and tcase in place and mounted up, and the customer finished the rest. I'm sure it can be done in the new body style. The dash stuff is just time spending reading schematics and getting your plan of attack.
