Use bilstien 5100 with 7w7

[EMSTahoe]

Can you use the bilstien 5100's with the zw7 rear. I want to get those to level it back out after that ranch hand sag, also do you re use your stock coils?

if you want to fix the sag you need to replace the springs.

Z71 springs and the 5100's work. Zw7 shocks carry some load.

Ok, I had nbs Tahoe that had the zw7 so i know about the rear spring and shock replacement. My question is on the front springs is there a certain spring that I need for the front?

 

[SRTH8R]

You must be 2wd? Front springs are fine.

sorry I forgot to let yall know my tahoe is a 2014 tahoe ssv 4x4. im really just trying to get it back to "stock ride height in the front. I have had ranch hands on all three of my tahoes that i have owned, this is the first time I have seen that much sag on the front of one. My ultimate goal is to change out the nivomat shocks and the softer springs in the rear to the stiffer spring/regular shock combo like i did on my last tahoe. I wonder if the front coil springs on a zw7 differ from a z71 tahoe, i know the struts are different.

Sorry didn't notice it was in the 07-14 section. Never see anyone talk about zw7 accept NBS guys.

Yea I was hoping to get away from the zw7 but it followed me to the next Tahoe. I think I'm going to try bilstien 5100 adjustable struts upfront and see if that helps level it out

Don't worry about the springs up front and just get some bilstiens and set them up the desired height you need from that heavy bumper.
