What are you plans for the clearance with the hood/front end?  I remember reading one of the other AV conversions, the reason he used a WBH is because he needed to use a hood off a diesel silverado to get the engine to fit.

most likely she will get a 3" body lift.  Also thinking of electric fan conversion on this one also. One of the reasons I got a HP tuner set up. 

I have found a few AV conversions on the net, some are cladded but most are WBH. The reason being is the bumpers, easyer to keep the HD bumper Vrs modding the cladded assembly to fit after the body lift.

Yea I remember the bumper filler part too.  If I would do a lift, I would be doing a custom steel front bumper.

Some specifications if you need them. GM Upfitter manuals These manuals include detailed specifications for the chassis.
