I swapped my front struts and coil springs with rough country n3 easy struts. And swapped my rear shock with rough country n3.

After alignment I noticed rear left sagging. Internt told me that I’d need to swap stock springs to make it not sag in one side. So I got moog81071. It still sagged. Internet told me moog81069, heavy duty will fix it. So I did that. And it still sagged about 1.5 inches on the left side. Fuel about more than half in the tank. Measured it from wheel cap to fender line.

I have2012 Tahoe zw7 rpo code. There is mixed opinion if 2012 Tahoe with zw7 came with nivomat shock or not.

Anyone had similar issues? What do I need to check?

The Nivomats (with ZW7) have a code of G65 -- bet you don't have that one. As I understand it the last year for Nivomats in these SUVs was 2006.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

You are already receiving clarifications from the knowledgeable folks on this Forum.

I have to admit that a 1.5" droop that doesn't change with 3 different springs would tend to suggest that something else is going on with your rear suspension. If you disconnect one end of the panhard bar, does it change the height on the problem corner?.

That's interesting. The setup is pretty straight forward, with the rough country shocks the ride height is dictated by the height of the springs, if you went through 2 sets of rear springs and the problem persists I imagine you would have noticed anything wrong back there. How does the front look?
