Long search for a suspension shocks ZW7

[James Ward]

Hi folks, I've been searching for a set of front shocks / struts and my 2015 Tahoe LT has the ZW7 soft ride suspension, but I'll be damned if I can find anything about the ZW7 front shocks ? The rear ZW7 shocks are most easily found, but not the fronts, Anyone help me ?

Thank you !

couple ways, 1. call your local dealers parts department and give them the last 8 of your vin and ask what the part numbers are for the front.
2. post the last 8 up here and @915_Tahoe can look it up
also you can go to

This is from the forum from way back:

"AutoRide is Z55 only, it includes G69 "level control" which is an air compressor bolted to the frame and pumps up the rear air shocks. If you have ZW7, you do NOT have AutoRide at all. You have the Premium Smooth Ride, it includes option code G65 "level control" which is a manual leveling system built into the hydraulic shocks in the rear. It is an independent unit. It has no sensors, airbags, compressors or anything."

See if any of these might help.....

James, look at your RPO sheet and find the 6XX and 7XX codes, those are your front shocks. You can plug your VIN in here and have a look:

@PNW VietVet Ron, ZW7 came in two methods, a dumb suspension much like a Z71 and with G65 which would then have Nivomat rear shocks and softer rear springs.

Yea, I didn't know if it would help when I found that post going back about 2-3 years before the OP rig year. The more I see all these options and trying to locate certain parts by other owners/members then the more I really like my 02.

Well Thank you, But the only numbered options I have on my options list is 1LT & 4AA. But the ZW7 is the "Chassis Package, Premium Smooth Ride Chas PHAS ZW7". I also have a "Z82 Trailering Package Reese Type Hitch ? Not too sure about this either, there's not hitch and the opening is closed and a painted cover the center of the rear bumper !
