Z71 Stock Ride Height

[smithk3933]

Looking to purchase a 03-05 Z71. Can someone tell me if the stock ride height is different on the Z71 vs the LT? As I understand it the Z71 gets the Bilstein shocks but not sure about springs and the overall ride height.

Thanks.

The Z71 DOES NOT come with Bilsteins. Most folks replace their stock shocks with Bils though. I did...

There's a difference in height, the Z71 is heighter due to the different suspension. The rear springs on a Z71 are about 2 inches higher than an LT.

I sold my Z coils to someone with an LT and with a set of spacers, he got about a 3" light in the rear. He cranked the torsion keys and has a nice cost effective lift.
