1500 Yukon XL Denali vs 2500 Suburban 8.1
Hello all, As you can see from my subject line, I'm contemplating making a change from my 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali to a 2004 Chevy Suburban (2500). I'm looking for some real world comparisons ...

Going from 3.73's to 4.1's will have approx 10% more torque at the drive axles,
minus losses. That is how diff gearing works
I don't recommend adding a rear anti-lean (sway) bar to a vehicle that did not
have one from the OEM. If you do, make sure to increase the front bars rating
Otherwise it may create an over steering condition at the limits
For towing, that means a higher chance of jack knifing the setup during severe
maneuvers
We are talking about a 2500 Suburban, right?
The suspension & frame are already very stiff from the factory
For a 1500, yes will help, but key is to make sure the front bar is also increased
in stiffness
