I don't think it's going to hurt anything.I picked up a set of rear Z71 springs but haven't gotten new 5100's yet to replace the Nivomats that are on my Yukon right now. Is there any downside to putting in the Z71 springs for now until I get the Bilsteins?

Thanks - I bought this Yukon last spring with 199k and I have 209k on it now. I'm going to assume the Nivomats are original and I haven't checked them out yet. The PO had put a leveling kit up front so my front end is just ever so slightly higher than the back, and I figured why not go the Z71/5100 route since they're a little less than new Nivomats.I agree. It's not going to be the Premium Smooth Ride anymore and may ride a bit stiff, but I have to think it won't be an issue. Especially if you're on the verge of pulling the Nivomats.
How are the Nivomats? Are they in good shape? Mileage on them? Occasionally people here are looking for used ones in good condition.
