Lowered, want to go back to factory or a little higher

Isaiah W · Dec 3, 2016

Hey, so I bought my 2002 LS Hoe lowered, I'm not sure exactly what they did to lower it, but I want to go back to factory or even a little higher. My question is whether I should go straight back to stock and level the front, or should I get Z71 suspension for it, or I'm open to any other suggestions. Nothing too wild yet, as it has brand new 265/75/R16's that I won't want to replace for awhile. Thanks!

Leave it until you want new tires. Z71 springs, 1.5" spacers, keys, 5100 shocks will do the level lift.

It looks great how it is. Why do you want to go back to stock hight? But when you do lift@01Konvict is right. Most guys looking for a bit more go that route.

Does it ride ok? if it's a complete kit you can sell it on here and have $$ towards the new parts 01kon listed.

What's your measurements now? Tires and fender lip to ground

It rides fantastic! Smoother than my stock 2011 Yukon XL. But the complete lowering kit probably has quite a few miles on it. The only measurement I have on hand is from the top of the tire to the fender, and I'm sitting at 4.5" in the rear and 4.25" in the front.

Sorry, noob questions here, but just Z71 springs for rear, with the 1.5" spacers for the springs, keys to level the front, and 5100's on all four corners? Thanks

Yea that's the parts list for a mild key/spacer lift.
