07+ Z71 Tahoe - 1.5" Rear Leveling Kit Q's?

[cjweb11]

Couple more beginner questions guys.

This is the $68 rear 1.5" level I'm looking at on ebay, I like that it has the rear shock extenders with it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BB-REAR-1-5-COIL-SPACER-LEVELING-LIFT-KIT-W-SHOCK-EXTENSION-4X2-4X4-/180940083890?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AChevrolet|Model%3ATahoe&hash=item2a20de92b2&vxp=mtr

1. Does this kit fit the Z71 rear suspension? (only specifies LS, LT, LTZ)
I know Z71 is the LT trim, but not sure if suspension diameters change...

2. Does it become necessary/advisable to install longer sway bar linkages with a level to maintain handling? (front and/or rear)

3. Will the truck likely feel sluggish at 3.73 axle ratio with the larger 33" tires?

Thanks in advance

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Slightly.

I have the same rear leveling spacers paired with a 2.5" TopGunCustomz front leveling kit with 33" mud terrains. I was shocked to find out how much ride quality it retained.

Are you putting on a front kit? If so which one?

Felix, thanks for the direct answers!

I purchased the Truxxx 2.5" adjustable front leveling kit, just arrived by mail yesterday. I'll be installing the full 2.5".

Need to get new tires and this rear 1.5" kit before I do the install tho.

Thanks again.

I did the 2.5/1.5 Ebay kit on mine. It was a piece of cake to install... and in my opinion, puts the truck where it should have been when it left the factory.

I have BFG 285/70-17's on mine and they have plenty of room to spare. Probably could have gone bigger yet.
Really didn't notice any loss of performance with the taller tires...(I also have 3.73's) but it rides much nicer now.

Looks great bud. Love the BFG A/T's too.
