Z71 package differences

[Kevco2]

What exactly did the Z71 get you on the GMT400s?
Was is all bolt on extras with a G80 rear end?
Did the Suburbans have z71 option then and was it different than the pickup?

I know now that a Z71 GM truck seems to be a fancy trim package with strut spacers

You mean the "Z71" decal 4x4 vs "4x4" decal 4x4? I thought it was just Bilstein shocks, front skid plate, and something else, can't remember at the moment.

I don't believe there ever was a "Z71" RPO option, so the G80 could be had with "4x4" decal, "Z71" decal or even 2wd! You need to check glovebox for actual RPO codes. Don't know about Suburban Z71.

I have 4 trucks: 2 are 4x4 and 2 are 2wd, and all 4 have the G80...

Decals, bilstein shocks, skid plate, and supposedly a different bump stop (different part numbers show up).

I did not think it was all that much
But I certainly have noticed on RockAuto and the like that certain parts will not fit Z71
I almost convinced myself that they came with a proper selectable locker or some type of mini lift for bigger tires

There is a Z71 RPO code, i have it.

I think this post covers it

Um, I did not know that. I thought the Z__ RPO codes were Z82 and Z85, which I think were trailering packages, but I've never owned a "Z71" so I don't know for sure.

AU0 = keyless entry
GT4 = 3.73 gears
G80 = limited slip diff
Z71 = suspension package

And don't forget the fogs in the front bumper and that massive ram bar. Not sure if plastic flares wete part of the package too-they defo help with fitting wider/different offset wheels.

The Tahoe Z71 is a different beast than the truck Z71. The truck was stickers, Bilsteins, skid plates, and that's about it.

The Tahoe Z71 generally had a 2 tone interior shared with the Limited, color matched grille and bumpers with the integrated fog lights, most of them came with taillight covers and many got a front brush guard as well (though I have never seen the one pictured on your truck before). The flares were also part of the package, and I think they all got G80 differentials as well. They also came with those cool 5 spoke Alcoa aluminum wheels.
