Z71 Suspension Improvement

I have a 1998 Z71. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with suspension upgrades for this truck. I would like the truck to sit a little higher without a lift. Can this be done with load leveling suspension?

For the front, you could crank the torsion bars a little, or get some Ford torision bar keys and install them.
As for the back, an add-a-leaf kit would do it, as well as a lift block placed under the leaf springs. There are several ways to accomplish this.

It depends on how high your trying to go. Are you just wanting to run bigger tires or are you wanting a better ride? I agree with jeverett. You do have some options. As far as torsion bar adjustment you can get between 1/2 inch to as much as 2 inches in the front. If you put the ford keys in there you could get a little more, maybe 3 inches or so. The back can be done with add a leaf or blocks like jeverett said. But if you do your front it will give you a nice level look and allow you to run bigger tires without a problem. Just remember that both of these options are going to decrease your ride quality. As far as how much depends on your truck and your opinion I guess. I raised my t-bars and I dont think it affected the ride very much. But I have heard some people hated it and lowered it back down. The same with the rear. Your truck will ride more like a truck!

I did the add a leaf and torsion bar adjustment on my 2000 silverado and love it. I got about 2 inch. out of the front and the same in the rear. cost $175.00 well worth the effort took about 4 hours to complete all the work
