Default 2009 Chevy Tahoe LS SSV ZW7 Conversion kit?????had ad

I'm looking for a ZW7 conversion kit for my 09 Chevy Tahoe. Please help. Is it possible to just order springs and shocks as if I had a Z71 and install those??? Or is it something special that I have to do other than that? any info would be great

No such thing as a ZW7. The ZW series RPO codes are window codes.

There most certainly is ZW7 suspension code. It is "Premium smooth ride" code.

I stand corrected.
A quick RPO code search didn't turn that up for me. It's the same as the auto leveling system, air shocks in the back, just a different name. My Tahoe has that system.
There are height sensors to run the leveling system and electronic shocks. Arnot makes a kit to replace it, with stock height comparable springs, but I've read about too many issues with bypassing it vs replacing stock parts and be trouble free.
You will have nonstop service suspension / stabiltrak messages trying to make the truck something it is not. Not even sure if someone could even program it out or if it's cost worthy of the hassle.
