Z95 delete rear spring replacement?
 
Hello! I’m new to the group, and have a question for the suspension gurus! I have a 2015 Suburban LTZ 4x4 with the Z95 suspension. I installed a 3” leveling kit when I bought it, and replaced the front magnetic ride with Arnot passive loaded struts. When I installed the new struts, I placed the 3” spacers on them. The front sat several inches higher than the rear, and I assumed it was due to the air shocks needing replaced. I bought Bilstein 5100s and Moog 81071 and installed them, and it helped, but still looked an inch lower than the front. I installed a two inch lift in the back, and it’s currently sitting an inch lower in the back now. Are the Z95 coil springs different than the passive springs used in the lower models? I have seen where it says the Moog 81071 fits Z95 models, and that the Moog 81069 also fits the non Z95 models. Any help
would be appreciated.

I have coil springs in the rear, these will work? Always thought these where for leaf springs only?

yeah these are for leaf springs. I didn't know burbs had coils.
Maybe you need longer springs or something, or just reduce the the lift in the front.

That’s what I have been thinking as well, throw in a one inch leveling kit. I don’t think throwing more in the back is a good idea. Thanks for the help!
