I know this has been covered before. But I want a stiffer ride. I already have z71 springs and a 2inch lift. What can I do to stiffen it up more.
Every thread I see only mentions z71s.
Increased stiffness.

Just get stiffer front springs. With only 2" lift blocks in the front, you can go all the way up to '89s if you wanted. (bonus: will also add to your lift a little)

I thought you needed weight on the front for 89s

If I understand it correctly, the reason they say you need added weight is assuming that you have max lift already.

Yes, that's to keep you from topping out and breaking struts with a 3" lift and no added weight.

If you're too high with the 89s, you can cut a half a spring twirl off, or more depending on your desired ride height.
