More Lift Questions With A Specific Goal

[Dustin Jackson]

@blackelky According to this post the 81071 are standard height and the 81069 are factory lifted like the z71

Heavy duty rear shocks

Rockauto says the 81071 is for the electronic suspension (isn't that the Z55) which I don't have (just ZW7). What is the difference between those 2 coils i.e. the 45H2164 vs. 45H2165 or the Moog 81069 vs the 81071, I thought it was just a slightly taller spring.

Thanks I can't tell if i need new springs but the ride does seem bouncy. I don't get it because it doesn't even have 100k yet and i changed the shocks to billsteins

@blackelky Shocks are supposed to take care of the bounce. Are you lifted at all?

@steiny93 You can get 33 inch tires with stock wheels, just need to get larger tires

I mean can't you get 33" tires to fit by getting wheels with different offsets then then stock tires? Vs having to lift.

I have a 2008 with a 4.5 lift and a ton of cutting to fit tracks, the lift really destroyed the ride.

@steiny93 it depends on your setup. I think you can easily fit 33x10.5 tires on factory wheels and factory suspension.

But if you get wider tires like 33x11/12 you’ll rub on the control arms and then you need offset wheels for clearance.

Once you do that you’ll start rubbing on the fenders and you’ll need to trim.

It’s a whole chicken egg situation.

The wheel wells are very square so I think you’ll get the same amount of clearance with a level kit and a 3inch lift. It isn’t once you start getting up to 4 inches of lift that you actually start to get the tires outside of the square wheel well.

Just leveled in the front bit for 60$ on amazon for those moog springs I'll give it a shot

@blackelky How long have you had the bilsteins installed? I don't think new springs will help make it less bouncy.

Maybe a month. But if it's stock height for a z71 I'd want that anyway probably gain a inch back there

@blackelky Shocks might need time to break in also, mine seemed to get softer over time. You did 5100s?
