My Z71 seems lower than it should

[Dustin Jackson]

This is interesting. I've never known of any factory coil to be any color other than black.

After looking online it looks like a company called ground force makes blue lowering springs for the Tahoe. Now I just need to figure out what has been to the front...

Does it have auto leveling out back? Do you hear. Compressor running more than a few seconds? If shocks are ok I’d guess the PO put lowering springs. 2-3” would be my guess

for future reference z71 does not have air ride

You may find nothing has been done up front. Looks like the PO wanted to level it so rather that raising the front they dropped the back.

I hope so. I can't believe I didn't realize it was lowered before I bought it, I guess the 20 inch wheels threw me off. Then I got to thinking "isn't the Z71 supposed to be a little higher than other tahoes?" I was wanting to add an inch or 2 of lift but it looks like I'll have to address these springs also, hopefully nothing else has been done to it.

Any recommendations on where I could find Z71 springs for the rear?

I'd leave it, looks great. Lowering the rear is so much smarter than leveling the front to achieve the same stance from a wear/tear and ride quality perspective.

Amazon, Ebay, RockAuto, GMPartsDirect, GMPartsGiant, etc.

Might even look at the classifieds here but go to GMpartsdirect.com to get the right part number. James, is there a noticeable difference between the Z71 spring vs non?

That would be great to know, I want to make sure I'm getting the proper Z71 spring, that's the only reason I bought this truck was because of the Z71 package only to find out someone lowered it...

Try this pn 25978750. I got it from gmpartsdirect.com the only thing I’m unsure of is the label. It says for off road but doesn’t say z71. @PNW VietVet?

Thank you for that. I see what you mean, it says offroad but doesn't explicitly say Z71.
