Shocks!!!!!

[rican4lfe]

I just found out that my Yukon came with an Z71 package as per the RPO.... I have been running the yukon with the recommended shocks as per different searches.. only to find out that the ones for a Z71 package are about 1.5 inches longer.......this will explain my yukon hitting hard..... can anybody please confirm that Z71 shock are longer than normal yukon shocks...

also I understand the shocks used in the z71 are the hd for the c/k 1500 series... which are 1.5 inches longer in front and almost 3 inches longer in the bag.... can somebody confirm this info...

Los shocks de las Z71 si son un poco mas largos pero no creo que por tanto. La diferencia mayor es que son de nitrogeno comprimido y las valvulas de adentro tienen mejor performance para off road use.

those are the measurements difference that I found out between the shocks they sell for a yukon/hoe lt. sl. or slt to the Z71 shocks that comes from the c/k 1500 series...... look at different sizes and all the hd schocks for c/k 1500 series were always longer about 1.5 in the front to up to 3 inches in the back.... I am probably looking at the wrong stuff... but my truck definatly felt different once I change the schocks ........ last time I was in PR was about 2 years ago... always try to go every other summer but sometimes the tickets are way more than what I want to pay.......

Go to your parts house, they should be able to tell you. I've just replaced everything with Rancho RS5000's, and love them. I can hit speed bumps at any speed slow or fast and my rig hardly moves. Toyt like a toyga.
