He has a 2004 Envoy that had an interior fire that would be a great platform to begin. My wife has an Envoy Denali that rides like a caddie, so the more I think about it, the better your plan looks.
ricott: I may not be right on the 9" dimension I mentioned. Fenders and hood are on and I am at 11.5" which is slightly higher looking than I remember liking. Once I get the radiator, engine accessories, bumper, etc. installed, it may compress another inch or so.
