Need some advice on lowering the rear of my truck.
It has factory blocks between rear and leaf.
Can I use 2wd U bolts and just remove blocks or will it mess up my pinion angle?
Has anyone done this to a Z71 ?
I know I will have to get an alingment.
All help appreciated.

 

yes you can use 2wd Ubolts and remove the lift blocks, thats what I did to my Denali truck. Your pinion angle wont be too adversely affected.

 

Just a quick question, why lower the Z71? I could see a regular 4X4 or a 2X4 but not a Z71. You had to pay extra for the Z71 package why take it off?


The only reason I say this is because once I got to see a lowerd standard 4X4 of my truck I thought the same thing but I could not get past the fact that I paid for the Z71.

 

My Truck has way too much rake.
I Turned up Torsion bar a little but, I either take blocks out or drive around with
sand in bed to make it level.

 

rcsb z71 has like 4" of rake, they look real funny for sure.

 

What's the difference between a Z71 and regular 4x4?

 

I thought the difference was Bilstein shocks but I am not sure at all. Maybe on the 4wd guys will give you a better answer.

 

Tranny cooler, skidplates, shocks

 

i think it is shocks and stickers. really kind of a joke if you ask me.

i know for sure skidplates were a seperate option on my truck and i have no tranny cooler. i have a z71. the bigger tires are a seperate option too i think.

 

Awesome PLASTIC front skid plate and some stickers!!! and the shocks and tranny cooler
