What size rear blocks on z71

[Ehall8702]

What is size of stock blocks on a 97 z71? And do all z71 have blocks? Mine doesn't have a block and doesn't look like an add a leaf either ( can't rember off hand how many leaves r there tho).

Z71 package consisted of skid plates and Bilstein shocks. That's it.

Thank you, I work on so many obs trucks and some had block and some had skid plates , but ty for clearing that up for me. I replaced my rear shocks but couldn't tell the brand cause of how rusted they were but they had yellow on em and that makes sense now that they were bilsteins.

X2 - ProComp 6” lift I just put on, added a leaf and put wedge blocks in. I rebuilt the leaf pack while I was there (cleaned, repainted, greased ends, urethane bushings, etc). Those old rubber bushings were fairly easy to take out, just 3/8” drill them out all the way around (several holes all the way through) then beat them rest the way out. Press is easier, but I’m shadetree man, ain’t got none of that fancy stuff.

Hey curious if your procomp kit needed welding like instructions said or if you got away without. Thanks
