There's a picture floating around of an insanely low 3500HD 4x4; I think I have the picture saved somewhere.
Following the thread though; always wanted an HD but I'm content with my K2500 and K3500, they'll do everything I want them to do.

---EDIT----
Found it.

Now I've got a problem. I was gonna build a Suburban; Escalade interior, Escalade exterior, 1 ton axles, SAS, Duramax swap, lots of other stuff (Kodiak handles, floorshift automatic, etc). But after seeing the render of this hypothetical 3500HD, I'm starting to look for C3500HDs to throw a solid axle and a wrecked GMT800 with a good 6.6 Duramax and Allison trans. Maybe even find a flatbed, an older truck camper, and do the Escalade interior and exterior swap (if I can carry over the fenders and grill, knowing C3500HDs, likely not). I might need a better welder....

Interesting that they're still using leaf springs. Not my desire but interesting.

I think there's a bit of a skirt to the flatbed, that's why it looks so low.

I think most aftermarket conversion companies used leaf springs; everything I've seen that's been SAS'd like Monroe trucks or Quigley vans have been leaf sprung.
Coils/3-link could be the key to a reasonable height 4x4 route on an HD though.
