On the GMT800 1500 pickup trucks, the 2wd use coil springs vs torsion bar for the 4x4, so the control arms and shocks are different.

I forget if all GMT800 1500 SUVs were torsion bars? 03-07 for sure. Or did they use coil springs on the earlier 2wd ones? I honestly don't know, but maybe that's why?
I also am not confident if there is a difference when stepping up to the 2500 Sub platform. I’m dangerous but not THAT dangerous lol.

2500 & 3500 used rear leaf springs instead of coils.
I know they share much in common with 2500 & 3500 pickups, but I don't know enough about their differences.

I really want to go with these
Hey, totally forgot but Shock Surplus has a great filter system. Here is the part number and can be searched for better prices online:

Looks like you can get them and I’m running them now. I have liked them, especially at their price point.

Probably I will go with Amazon. At least it's easier to return, unless I skip return window again.
