Help with front springs, struts and rear shocks please

[Nynex]

Ok, I have Markmc's front 3" lift/upper bushing, as well as tahoe rear springs part #15234633. While I have the front strut assemblies apart I want to change the struts and springs. Does anyone know if shockwarehouse has the bilstein HD 4600 struts in stock? If not where can I get them?

Also any advice on what front springs I should get? I can't seem to find any GM springs and I'm unsure about the moog springs. What size spring do I want to match the rear springs I have?

Lastly, rear shocks. Are tahoe rear shocks a direct bolt in? Do you have any recommendations for rear shocks?

Thanks! I want to compile the rest of these parts and get to work! My tires and wheels will be here this week. 265/70-17

Thanks!

I just ordered the front struts from ebay, Bilstein 4600's part #24-103336. $135 free shipping. Any advice on the front springs and rear shocks please?

Thanks so much to anyone that puts the time in to help me. I've been researching and reading for days now, I just want to make sure I do this "right" the first time.

Alot of your questions are answered here, especially rear shocks that fit viewtopic.php?f=15&t=20

You don't need to upgrade the front springs, unless you want to. Mine is lifted on the stock springs, just the MarkMc spacer's. I will probably go up in spring rate once I install my steel bumper.

Thanks very much, your truck looks great.

I'm just thinking while I have the struts apart I might as well do the springs too? I currently have the 15125883 springs according to my sticker in the glove box.

Thank you!

I also have the 83 springs, mine, currently, sit's just a touch lower in the rear than in the front. I'm riding around with a HiLift jack and some tools, but nothing excessive. Really, I'd be better off with rear Z71 springs and my stock fronts.

ok thanks bro. I still feel like I want to do the front springs... I could always add a spacer in the rear if needed. But on the other hand I'm already worried about CV boots popping off and the seals in the front diff spring leaks.

Yep, i have none of those problems lol.

If you google the part number of the springs, your search with be more successful than searching; for example 87 springs for trailblazer. That is if you haven't found the springs you were looking for already though.

If you have then disregard.

I found a couple sites with them. But I kept reading on here that the places I found them on have terrible customer service and they got charged but the springs are backordered.
