Torsion bar z71 vs lt

[tahoe035.3]

Are the torsion bars on the z71 any different from the lt, on my lt I have the nivomat shocks on the rear and I've read with the nivomat shocks the springs in the rear have a lower spring rate than the z71 with standard shocks. So I was wondering if the front torsion bars are any different (lower spring rate?)

I don't think the front would be any different. I have an LT w/ autoride and the only differences that I know of are the shocks (obviously) and the rear coil springs. I just bought new rear coils from a z71 and I'm getting rid of the busted autoride and replacing all my shocks

i haven't heard of any differences in the tbars either. i also have the z71 rear coils with 2" spacer and it rides pretty good. only difference i've noticed in the rear is when i have a heavy load, it doesn't sag as much as before. i have been looking at some lift springs for the rear though. i've also been thinking of doing the front coilover swap and delete the tbars.

Hell at that point just throw a nice D60 under it. It will cost about the same if you do it yourself.
