2011 Suburban 2500, is the suspension same as 2011 HD truck?

As title states, the HD trucks changed front suspension parts in 2011, did the suburban 2500 also change the same parts over?

I am looking at lifting my 2011, and want to know if the HD truck kits will work since there are so few listed as suburban specific.
Thanks!

In 2011 GM updated the frame on the pickups which included a different lug pattern for the wheels. The wagons continued to use the older suspension.

Search the forum and you'll find a few guys who lifted their 2500s along with what parts they used.

OK so looks like I need the 2001-2010 lift kit. Looking at about 6" to run 35s.
I saw posts where people liked the cognito kit. Also looking at bulletproof for the dual shock setup, which do people seem to prefer?
I would really like a 2.5 shock, I had a nice carli setup on my last ram 2500 that rode really smooth, but doesnt seem there are any 2.5 or 3" shock options for these?
Thanks

If you have a 2500 suburban! Yes still used the same frame as 01-10 you’re looking at 6 inch ! Cognito is a great kit ! IDE run fox shocks ! You can look up king but don’t think anyone does 2.5 shocks for a 6 inch ! All mostly 2.0 ! I work for 4 wheel parts and never seen it !
