Hello,
So after reading that 89 springs are the stiffest and offer the most (but still small) lift for our front stock springs. I was just wondering if it matters which z71 rear spring to buy?

There is only one stiffness of the 2007+ Tahoe/Avalanche rear springs. No choices on that platform because a rational design team worked on it. Not the children with inadequate adult supervision that did our platform and the very similar HHR.

What's the part number for those z71 rear springs and did you use the 2" blocks too?

I dont have the part #. I did not use the 2" spacers. I just have the new Upper control arm bushings and front 3" spacer. I am waiting on the front shock and springs, then I'll install it all and decide then if I will install the rear 2" spacer or not.
