Questions & Answers
There is one spring included in the price
Essentially, the 199020 coil springs are designed to replace the factory springs in a Suburban with ZW7 premium smooth ride suspension, allowing you to substitute Nivomat shocks for Bilstein 5100 shocks at a much lower price. A higher spring rate is used on this 199020 coil spring compared to the stock one.
My bad. I didn't do it. It was in good shape when I had it. If I had my way, it probably would have been the next time, just based on my belief that if you are going to replace something, you should do it correctly. It is not expensive to buy them.
Having used them for my 2001 Chevy suburban, they fit even better and work even better than the original bilstein shocks , so I'm pretty certain they will work on your Tahoe.

My truck has the ZW7 code on an 05 Tahoe. They're $500 a set) Nivomat shocks. If you want to replace those shocks with normal ones, you must also replace the springs. This set of Bilstein shocks and springs is what I chose for my vehicle. You get a ride that's as good if not better than stock for half the price. I was able to swap out my earphones easily. We could have done it much sooner, but we were very happy with it.
This is excellent! The stock springs were replaced with these along with Bilstein rear shocks (24-1/4" 1413806), as recommended when converting from Premium Smooth Ride (ZW7) Nivomat shocks (not electronically controlled leveling shocks), on my stock height, 4wd, '03 Yukon XL SLT. In addition to that, I replaced aftermarket front shocks with Bilstein ones (24- - A 5,000 lb. trailer is towing for me. With a truck and 1000 air bags in the springs, you can tuck the camper into the body of the vehicle. Several vendors told me I should buy the 4600 series shocks, so I did some research and called them. All said the 4600 would be a good choice. The Air Lift bags were installed in the new springs to help with towing, but I have not yet tow the vehicle. It has been 3 weeks since they've been there, and the truck rides like new again. There were no changes in ride height, and everything was able to be fitted As I was looking at other shock brands, I found that Bilstein had so many good reviews, most notably on Yukon XL/Suburban blogs, that I was willing to pay a little bit more (compared to other standard shocks) because other owners had good experiences with them. In terms of reference, I found Nivomat style shocks like Arnott on Amazon for *$325 each and Nivomat shocks at the local dealer for *$630 each. Despite the shocks being Nivomat style, I was able to replace all four shocks and rear springs for less than two.
I got three inches of lift all around, and the burb rides better than ever.
I purchased them with the Bilstein shocks and the Moog spring insulators, and I am 100% satisfied with the entire set up on my 2001 Chevy suburban 4x4. The ride is excellent, and the spring set is definitely recommended.
I was very happy with the result. If you replace your nivomat suspension, you have to replace the springs as well. Adding these to a Bilstein 5100 is a great idea. We had a blast on the ride. A 3in lift on the suburban still makes it ride very well, it's not stiff, but not mushy either.
On my 06 Tahoe, after I replaced my factory shocks, I was still unable to figure out why the ride was so rough. So I dug some more and found out I needed a different spring. It is wonderful how much better my vehicle runs with these on it. If you plan to remove the factory set up on the premium suspension Chevrolet used on this vehicle, you'll definitely need these. We found the best price on Amazon and fast shipping! It got rid of the hard bump hits and smoothed out the ride.
The ride quality is so much improved that even my wife was impressed. It is safe and comfortable for me to drive my suburban If you do your homework first, it is quite easy to put in!.
Now the ride is smooth and takes the bumps like a champ. There is a noticeable difference in ride height between stock and this. With Bilstein 5100 shocks and a 2 inch lift coil spacer, I am also running Bilsteins.
