Redoing the info

@Fifty - do you have those spring part numbers and manufacturer info? That would be great, didn’t see it that provided w the spring specs in your video.
Thanks! Looking good, smart moves too. Great

I put them in the comments. I’ll go back and check when I get better reception. I have 1 bar and no WiFi so no YouTube access at the moment

I used these, Dayton springs 351-897HD with Bilstein 5100 shocks 24-253260 and a one inch block I. The rear. The front has a 2” leveling spacer with 5100s as well with it adjusted up two notches. The ride is so much better then the factory air leveling system.

Sorry I didn’t realize I forgot the pic.

Look up Skyjacker c25r or c50r
The c25r lift the rear 2.5 inches the c50r lift 5 inches and both provide a factory like ride and towing capacity. Says fits 2000-2006 but will fit up to the year gm switched to irs. I had c25r in for couple months but lifted front more than planned so switched to the c50r and have been running them almost 2 years now.

Did you run spacers before these springs? Just wondering the ride quality and handling difference between a spacer versus lift spring.

On road spacers generally will ride and handle similarly. Offroad spacer sometimes can move around and make noises or even pop out if you're driving aggressive enough. Also you will have more flex and articulation offroad with longer springs. If your trucks mostly on pavement spacers are a great option. I don't ever run them on my vehicles because I do a lot of farming construction and hunting so I spend almost 50% of my time driving in fields and logging trails. Last thing I need is to hit a washout or something at 50+ mph and have it yeet a spacer into the woods and have to limp home with it sitting crooked I have had that happen in a field with a friends truck while working few years ago.

This is my rear suspension setup, Z71 coils and 2” spacer gave me the perfect 4.5” height and factory ride and rake for heavy loads….. front is just a 3” spacer. Has 7k miles on it and love it. So does the wife

Somehow these springs are beating inflation - now 10 bucks cheaper than they were when this was posted a year and a half ago. Getting a set now to replace the spacers...

I'm just getting started looking into lift ideas for my 2016 Tahoe but it seems there are only spacers available to lift the rear of the tahoe in the 2-3" range? Does no one make aftermarket springs that lift the rear 2-3"? I plan to 4-wheel my Tahoe a little bit getting to some dispersed camping areas and I like the idea of having better articulation/wheel travel in the rear suspension but if spacers are the only choice then I guess that's what I will use
I had a tacoma before my tahoe and jeeps before that, so the lack of aftermarket is definitely frustrating. Thank god for this forum though... tons of good info

Just wondering which route you ended up going?

I am currently in the process of getting a Cognito kit with Fox shocks installed, which raises the front 3”.

I’d prefer a replacement coil for the rear, opposed to a spacer, considering some of the off roading I do.
Can anyone confirm if OEM z71 rear springs will provide a lift over the non z71 Tahoe.
Or if there are any good alternatives…

 

[Fifty]

Yes.
I have the z71 suburban border patrol springs.
I’m trying to remember how much lift over a Denali xl spring. Iwant to say it’s in a post
Running 10” shocks, started with multimatics and now running ADS Racing.

Part numbers and specs on the springs in the video. Including the spring rates of them, measurements etc etc

Not sure if I missed it… But is the part number in the video?

Here’s the info you provided for the Tahoe

Which I don’t see any part #

Disregard. I found your comments on the video.

I think I listed 2 springs. One is for the Tahoe/Yukon and one is for the suburban/XL.

The difference is the spring rate. All external lengths are identical. But the stiffer spring rate (suburban/XL) will give the taller stance and more load capacity.

Not a lot, just a bit, because it’s simply to make up for the weight increase of the longer vehicle.

Again, I’m running the suburban springs on my XL.
