'04 Tahoe Z71 suspension question

[mattt]

Does an '04 Tahoe Z71 have different spring(rate or height) and/or torsion bars than a regular Tahoe LT? Is there a physical height difference or firmer ride on the Z71 package from the factory?

I think the keys on a Z71 are the same as on a 2500 truck.
See the 2 Rough Country leveling kits. They are different from a non-Z71.

The rear springs are taller, but I don't know if the spring rate is higher than a non-Z71.

Thanks for the reply. I would hope there is something to compensate in the front for the taller rear springs. No one likes the stink bug look. How much taller are rear springs if anyone knows?

 

[mattt]

Any word on if the torsion bars are different as well?

Rear springs vary between 1/4"-3/4" taller in rear. Most are 1/4" gains but spring rate is different for sure. The front bars are the same as LT. Only different shocks and skid plates underneath.

Thank you for the info on the front bars. I think I also read the bump stops are Z71 specific.
