If you step back and think about it, it makes sense. The floor over the diff in a suburban is lower than the floor above the diff in a truck. If the same height wheel tub (unvalidated) is bolted to that floor, the top of that tub will also be lower than a truck.

Hopefully all of this is somewhat helpful to Hart Rod!
