Z71 Rear Spring Swap

[4WDTRK]

Thanks for the info Will! Your rig looks great! Would like to see some current pics with the Moog coils. You have the same measurements as me. I think the rake will be great for towing, just prefer a level or "cali-look" for everyday driving. Hopefully the rear coils will settle a little bit after I put some miles on them. I heard they can drop 1/2" - 1".

My old yukon was cranked at 39.5" up front on 33s with no issues on ball joints or CVs. I would turn them up some and if your angles are bad get some UCAs. Full Throttle sells some for $450 a set, tell them the GM fullsize price.

I will get some updated pics. I would do uca if some one knows who else makes them. If I get cognitos, I'm going to be in this for the same as a 6 inch. Of corse then the wife would be grumpy.

Posted the same time.

I updated my sig pic. Hard to see the rake since the driveway isn't level and the way the pic is taken.

With all that's being put out here, I got a leveling kit from Rough Country, came with 4 shocks and keys but no rear spacers. I have an 04 Yukon. Current measurement is 35" front and 36" rear and this is without the keys. Should I get Z-71 springs and 1"-1.5" spacers or just the spacers and then install the keys and alignment?

z71 springs dont lift much, but they help when towing or loaded down

Updated pics that make it look worse due to the driveway.

I've changed my mind on the z71 springs and spacers. I'm gonna have the spacers yanked out this week! I took some cargo out of the back and it came up even more. I'm ~40.5" in the rear. Looks goofy and way too raked. I think running just the z71 coils will level it out and make it look just right for my rig.

Spacers are out and it looks and rides great again! Feels so so much better! Now I measure ~39" in the rear and ~38.5" in the front. I'm done messing with my level for now. Thanks for the input!

Anybody else have an issue with the left side 1/2" lower than the right?
