Rear coil springs

[Chadgallinger]

Hello all
I need help just got a 02 tahoe z71, the rear coils are stock and super high looks like the truck is doing a nose dive, can I use regular lt coils will that even it out with the front?
Thanks

You can turn the front susp keys and raise it up to be level and save the money. If you do go that route you have to get the truck re-alighn

Thanks,I've done that and thats all the height I get out of the front, I'm told to swap out coils with ls or lt ones, you think that will lower the rear? Thanks

No it won't, but the ppv oem springs will, and you can find the at the junk yard for cheap, or at least cheaper than the after market ones

I'm not so sure about this. I think it would. Most guys report 1-1.5" gain with going from lt to Z71 springs. Don't know why the opposite wouldn't be true.

You could always raise the front with a new pair of torsion bar keys. Get a set that lift it a couple inches.

Just buy a regular ol leveling kit. It will bring up the front end. If you wanted to lower the rear you could go on the lowered section of the forum and try to see what springs they use. But you have a beefy z71 with an offroad look. raise up the front end! it will look great

After sixteen years, it's your front that needs a lift to restore the original ride height.
