this is also good info for the people who's VIN doesnt specify ZW7 but want that shock to convert to. I have MRC setup and want to remove the front MRC shocks and go towards the "Premium Smooth Ride Suspension" option. I know what they feel like and I do not know what aftermarket feels like so if I do the swap I dont want to swap for something unknown feel

I was wondering if I got shocks for a 2015 Cadillac Escalade if that would cut the confusion ? I now think that I need to stick with the information that 915Tahoe gave me ?

James, look at your RPO sheet and find the 6XX and 7XX codes, those are your front shocks. You can plug your VIN in here and have a look:

@PNW VietVet Ron, ZW7 came in two methods, a dumb suspension much like a Z71 and with G65 which would then have Nivomat rear shocks and softer rear springs.

For anyone that comes across this post, my earlier post was partly incorrect, Nivomat shocks were not used with GMT900 or K2 platforms, just the 2000-2006 GMT800s.
