I am in the process of getting rid of the air-ride Autoride stuff on my 01 tahoe. Compressor is making all kinds of racket and the right rear shock looks like it's blown. I already have bilstein 5100's up front, and have the rears on order.
Since the autoride springs don't work without the shocks, I ordered the bilsein 199021 springs to replace the autoride springs, but they are still backordered.
I found Z71 springs on ebay for basically the same money:
Ebay Link
Does anybody know the difference in ride height/stiffness between the Z71 and Bilsteins?
I'm taking this one step at a time. Getting the suspension riding nice (get rid of annoying rattles and harsh ride) and then I'll do keys and spacers, and then (hopefully similar timing) probably put on some 285's. So I'm not afraid of spring height. I do put a decent amount of gear in the back and tow a loaded utility trailer quite often.
Thanks in advance!! I can't wait to smooth out the ride. This thing rides like a tank right now.
