I bought my 2011 Z71 in Jan of 21 with 153k on it. Ride was ok but felt tired. Rebuilt struts with 4600 bilstein and replaced tears with same. Ride is better, but still feels a little off.
Part one question. With that many miles and unknown usage, is it reasonable to believe that the springs are worn out and would benefit from replacing.
Part two. I have put a caliper gauge on the front sway bar and it appears to be slightly larger than what was on my old LS 07 tahoe. However it does not appear to be as HD as a Helwig (sp?). Would changing out front and rear sways for Helwig in addition to new springs be too stiff. I do not off road, I do load scuba gear and deal with short trail access roads at times but that’s it.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
