Default What is the difference between the Z71 and the base optioned 4x4 truck.

I have a Silvy 1500 RCLB. It is not a Z71. What's the diff?

Z71 came with different shocks and the cool stickers. I think skid plates are part of the Z71 kit too, uhh.......maybe heavy duty bump stops and bigger blocks under the rear springs. That's about it I think.

Z71 comes with stuff you'll probably never use. e.g. skid plates and "off-road" shocks. unless of course you do actually go mudding.
