As the others have said, all the suspension stuff will swap over. So since you are going to use aftermarket suspension pieces, they will all work on the DL just fine.

The biggest thing that I would do is carry over the black trim from the turbo and remove the chrome trim from the DL. SEM Trim Black paint will make it look good as new, also (fill in any nicks). And the trim at the bottom of the side windows - well, I hate the bulky strip with the chome that is on the DL. I would find out how to remove that, and make it look like the Turbo.

Oh, and take the turbo steering wheel over and take out the bus wheel. Or use a nice aftermarket part.

And hey, you're lucky you have the 84 now, so you don't have to mess with the 85 mph speedo any more.
