Hi all! 2020 Z71 Suburban with 65,000 miles on her and front struts are worn out. I’m assuming they are the KYB monomax because they are red, but this time I am going to go Bilstein 5100 or Rancho Adjustable preloaded spring & strut. My question is are the Z71 front coil springs specific to the Z71’s? If I get the Rancho loaded struts then I would be doing away with the original coil springs. I am also going to combine with a 1” rear spacer and new bigger tires, probably the new KO3’s. Hoping to get a 285/70/18 to fit nicely. Im looking for a slight lifted look with nice tires to fill the holes, without being obnoxious and not fitting into parking garages.

Lots of folks here use Bilstein shocks and are happy with their performance.

Do you happen to have a part# on the rear coil springs? I deleted my magneride now have a little rear sag due to the spring rate is set for the rear air shocks I believe so need rear springs for standard shocks and was looking for the z71 option if possible.
