I wouldn't say more complicated, just different. The SUVs are just a 4wd front suspension without axles and the rear is a 4-link coil on axle setup. I bolted everything up in one days time in my driveway. See below for a description of parts involved.

Thanks! I have a few more subtle changes in store...

No effects on the traction control- or any other function for that matter. It actually rides better than before. I have around $1K in suspension- there are cheaper ways, but I wanted it to retain the stock ride quality and load capability. Here's what I did- it's actually kind of a mix of the best of a few different approaches.

Front:

McGaughey's 2" Drop Spindles
GM Purple Keys (Good for 1-2" depending on how you adjust them)
Monroe Sensa-Trac stock replacement shocks
Trimmed stock bumpstops

Rear:

McGaughey's 5" Rear Drop Kit minus coil springs
Air Ride Technologies Rear Kit minus supplied shocks
Monroe Sensa-Trac stock replacement shocks
DJM Free-Travel Mod (Removes factory bumpstops)
Energy Suspension Bumpstops
