Can only Internet analyze it so much without benefit of spec's and drawings... :(
Ben... you are famous on rvnet for analyzing... so here is a food for your fodder. Not quite a leg o lamb, but will have to do.
The following photos establish, via specs and drawings, that GM's GMT900 platform 2500 pickup truck frames, in every possible wheelbase, bed, and cab length configuration, are wholly different than GMT900 2500 Suburban/YukonXLs of the same generation.
Since this thread is about hitches for the 2500 Suburban, I've only taken the time to label the Suburban drawings. If the drawing has identifying text in very LARGE LETTERS saying "GMT-900 2007+" on it, then that drawing is for a 2500 Suburban. Otherwise, all other drawings WITHOUT any large letter text added to them are for the GMT900 HD 2500 pickups. There are simply too many configurations of pickups to label them all.
I didn't even post all of the GMT900 truck drawings. I just posted the drawings of the 2500 pickup frames that one might assume would be the same, or near the same, as the 2500 Suburban, so that an anyone who cared to get that deep into the weeds with detail could visually compare the elevation profiles and cross check the measurements to their own satisfaction.
Beginning with 3 Suburban pictures, and continuing with the comparative pickup pictures, we have...
So Ben, hope this turns your :( (sad face) into a :) (happy face).
