You are good then.
With group 34 there are a ton of AGM and deep cycle options. When using a group 34 AGM you can expect at least 800cca and up to 120 minutes of reserve capacity (with a deep cycle).
The group 34 optima AGM is what I started out using to power my inverter on hybrid generator. I took that optima out of my hybrid generator and put in my suburban and do lots of EOC.
It has no problem doing an EOC for between 1 to 2 miles with all the lights on then restarting the 7.4L engine.
