Never heard of the Hummer being part of the GMT800...

Besides engine and transmissions (and wheels), I don't believe there's anything else shared with the GMT800 "body style" such as frames, axles, body panels, tailgates, windshields, etc. I thought the Hummers were like a different animal altogether.

The 1st generation avalanche I think is closer to the GMT800 though, at least on the drivetrain. IDK?
If I remember about half right from when I worked at a Chevy/Hummer dealer in the early 2000s... the H2 was like 2500 suburban front frame and 1500 truck rear frame. Or vice-versa. So yeah it would technically be an 800 series.

"The Hummer H2 is based on a modified GMT820 three-quarter-ton pickup truck in the front,
and a half-ton 1500 frame in the rear."

The H2's rear suspension is of particular interest to me ...
We replaced SOOOOOO many carriers in the H2s. Owners would get together and take their " awesome offroad rigs" out and have absolutely zero idea how to actually offroad. Full throttle off angle stuff and the lockers would engage....for a split second before turning to silver soup. A 14 bolt is strong... but not idiot rich guy proof.

They were right.

All that said, my interest in the H2's rear suspension, is to hopefully make use of that swaybar?
