Yes, according to Thule their Sidekick Cargo Box # TH78GC is a direct fit to the factory installed crossbars on your 1999 GMC Suburban.

Often customers that use rooftop cargo solutions also choose a tire step like the HitchMate # HE4040. This handy item comes fully assembled and simply slips over a rear tire to provide a height advantage for easier loading and unloading of your cargo box. It folds for easy storage.

Also keep in mind that all vehicle roofs have a specific weight capacity. Your owner's manual or your local dealership will indicate what your Suburban's roof weight rating is. The total combined weight of the box itself - 16-lbs - plus your cargo cannot exceed the vehicle's roof weight rating.
