Iv noticed the back of my "housewife"(she's not a hoe) is starting to sag like my ball sack. I don't care to look like one of those dogs scratching his ass on the grass.

So I'm looking into getting new rear springs.

The question is, would putting Z71 (or suburban 2500) rear springs give me a poor man's 2" (over stock ls springs) lift

I did not need them because until last Monday I did not own my 2005 Z71. But, I have read thru many threads here about the same problem and these springs have been mentioned many times and always seem to do the job. I wish our "search" worked better for you to go find those threads to read thru.

Yes, if I remember right it adds 1.5"

Fak YEAAAAA, just installed 3" pucks so those will put me right where I wanna be. Turing up the keys wasn't enough for my 6s so I got 3" lift spindles and keys to help clear the fender. Alignment would probably fix it but I'm also running 3" wheels spacers in the front on snowflakes. So my scrub radius is completely shot

Yea I definitely used the "search" error 404 method and found nothing. Also tried skimming they the lift threads and couldn't find any mention of it in the past 3yrs thanx guys y'all have been a great help
