we have 2005 Yukon XL 2500 with the 6.0 and Quadrasteer. If you ever get a chance to drive a quadrasteer, do it. You will be amazed at the turning radius. The stock shocks on the 1/2 ton (1500) with the autoride with compressor are around $450 per corner. the 2500 doesn't have the air shocks, but still have the electronic valving. I bought very nice HD Bilsteins for $90 per corner. Car is thirsty, but we knew that going in. With the 2500, I would almost recommend the 8.1 over the 6.0 as the mileage delta isn't that great between the 2 (1-2 MPG) but the extra 100 foot pounds is nice.
Ours is very comfortable and we will never sell it. 80k miles and it's been trouble free. We have 80% brakes on our pads (disc front and rear) so I am not sure about the above comment about brakes.
