I did new keys in the front of my z71 and cranked them up and used the shock extenders and left stock shocks in. And in the rear I have helper bags that I just keep inflated. Anyone know what part number Bilstein 5100 I should order by anychance? Not to thread jack here.

Those Ballistics really look great. First time seeing them on a Tahoe/Yukon.

Great looking truck man.

Thanks for the compliments! I did a denali headlight retrofit with morimoto projectors, euro clear corners, new fog lights, and debating getting led tails. I will post some more pics when I get all the lights complete. For the 5100s, they can be ordered for stock length which would require shock extenders or you can order the longer shocks and avoid the extenders. I highly suggest to order the longer shocks and below are the part numbers with year/model info (repost from previous page).

Front - Bilstein 5100 Offroad Shock: F4-BE5-C153-H0 (99-06 0-2" Lifted Chevy Tahoe shock)

Rear - Bilstein 5100 Offroad Shock: F4-BE5-6682-H8 (94-02 0-1" Lifted Dodge Ram 1500 shock)

Z71/denali/escalade top pic vs. LT/LS/SLE/SLT stock

They are taller and have more coils, about 17.5" to 15". They also handle 800lb more payload. Hope this clears up questions about z71 springs.

What years of springs will work or should I be looking for? I may have found some z71 springs that are supposedly for 2007-2011. Didn't know if they were the same or not.

You should look for 00-06 Denali/Escalade/Z71 springs as they are all the same which they are known as "z71 springs". I have read from a guy on this site who purchased the 07+ z71 springs and they work perfect. I think he stated he got them from ebay for a deal. Just compare the number of coils in the picture to the ones you are looking into, should be the same coil count.

Well I did some updating to my Yukon lights and installed Denali headlights with retrofit Morimoto Mini H1s, euro clear corners, new fogs, and LED tails. These pics show the update and debadged a little more, also took a close up pic of the wheel and tire.

Sweet! Looks great! I should have my new wheels and tires next week! I've got the Bilstien 5100's and leveling kit. Now, just have to find time to do it. My next 4 weekends are tied up with my daughter's travel basketball. May be worthy of taking a vacation day to do it!

What offset do you think I need to get ny tires to stick out alittle. Just did my taxes and getting new rubber. Either 295/70r17 nitto trails or nitto terra grapplers.. not to many choices in that size

For your stock wheels to stick out maybe a 1" wheel spacer. If you want aftermarket then you need to compare the rim width and offset choices. Most of the time you would want a +0mm offset.
