Default Height Difference between 2WD and Z71.

I was wondering what the height difference is between a 2wd and a Z71 (front and rear). What can I do or get to achieve making my 2wd the same height as a Z71?

Thanks All!

My 02 2500 HD 2wd was actually taller than an 01 Z71 that parked next to me at the parts store when I was ordering my Fabtech 3in lift spindles. Now its about 5 inches taller all the way around. Try the Fabtech website they have alot of lift stuff for 2 wheel drive guys. Good Luck, Tom

My Z71 seams to sit lower than most chevys, I also get asked if it is a two wheel drive with Z71 stickers

Well on the front you'd have to get a lift, your truck uses springs in the front end compaired to torsen bars on the 4wd units. 4wd truck also use a 2" lift block between the axle and springs. Some 4wd guys pull that out and lower the torsen bars.
