I've owned my 2008 2500 for 8 years. Unfortunately, in all of my time on the internet, the absolute best group I found was on Facebook, the 2500 Suburban Owners group. Lots of great info, and it's a large group. I dumped FB recently, so that was part of the collateral damage.
I've not had much luck finding other groups/websites. There are some, but on those I find myself giving information more than I get, which is fine, but I also like to read others' experiences with their 2500 trucks.
ETA: The two favorite shocks are the Bilstein 4600/5100, and Fox. 4600 for stock height, 5100 for lifted trucks. I've had 4600s on mine for 7 years and 100k miles - lots of heavy (8600 lb) towing, too - and they're still doing great.
Regarding front suspension/steering bits,
Kryptonite was generally held in high regard and recommended.
