Question:
I have a 1500 Z71 package. I just wanted to know why I can't use the monroe OESpectrum with the Z71 package? Thanks!
Answer:
There is no fitment issue with using a standard shock on a Z71 model truck, Monroe doesn't advise it because it won't restore your handling to the same level it was from the factory. The Z71 package came with high pressure monotube shocks for offroading, so if you want to restore the factory ride you'll need an equivalent shock. Using a low pressure twin tube shock like the OESpectrum will give you a ride similar to the standard 1500 pickups.
