Hi all! 2020 Z71 Suburban with 65,000 miles on her and front struts are worn out. I’m assuming they are the KYB monomax because they are red, but this time I am going to go Bilstein 5100 or Rancho Adjustable preloaded spring & strut. My question is are the Z71 front coil springs specific to the Z71’s? If I get the Rancho loaded struts then I would be doing away with the original coil springs. I am also going to combine with a 1” rear spacer and new bigger tires, probably the new KO3’s. Hoping to get a 285/70/18 to fit nicely. Im looking for a slight lifted look with nice tires to fill the holes, without being obnoxious and not fitting into parking garages.
