Yeah you could drive w/o shocks bolted in, just around the block only, don't want to get on the highway though, its a good way jut to check heights.

Threw the z71 stops in friday and jfc what a pain in the ass that was. I hosed the things with white lithium and they didn't want to go in, had to smooth them down a bit with the bench grinder and they finally popped after I damn near ripped a finger nail trying. Ride is much better and it handles exceptionally well, just have to sort out the rear bumpstops when the new springs settle, I will also drop the front a bit more as it came up a hair with the new stops

That seems about right, I'm just a hair lower than the 5305 coils so these belltechs are about 5.5" maybe less when they settle.

I installed the belltech 3" trailblazer coils part # 4230. They ride a bit stiffer than the 5305 but handles better. I'll measure it next to a stock denali once the springs settle to determine the actual drop.
