07 tahoe z71 BILSTEIN rear shock

[Sawa]

Hello. The car is a 2007 Tahoe Z71 4WD. I'm having trouble with my Bilstein rear shock.

I would like a 2inch lift.

24-187237 seems to be suitable for the normal height, but I would like to use 24-185783.

I use genuine z71 coil. I don't want to use spacers.

Please give me some good ideas.

Most of the bilstein 5100s you’ll find online will be for 0-2” of lift or for 2-4” of lift

Thank you for reply.
24-187237 or 24-185783.
Which do you think is better?

The z71 coils after settling are .8-1.5 inches of lift nothing crazy

What is 8-1.5 inches of lift?

What is 8-1.5 inches of lift?

Probably meant 1-1.5” of lift from the springs
Either of those shocks should work fine for your application but if weary get the second set you posted that’s for 1” of lift

There's a decimal point before the 8 in the post that @blackelky wrote....

The coil springs have been used for about 200,000 miles.

I feel tired and weak.
Is Bilstein 5100 24-185783 recommended as a choice?

Desired lift is 1.5-2inch.

The damper (shock) isn't intended to raise or lower the suspension. The length and travel are meant to match up with what's needed for your lift (done by springs, etc.)
