75.5 " for a non Trailboss. I have a 2020 SLT X31 and have plenty of clearance on a standard 7' garage door.

Posted

This is a parking garage in town and the clearance is 6'-8".  I can find the number for a standard but not for a Z71 which in my understanding adds a few inches. Is your 75.5 number for a 2021 Z71? The chevy site says 75.4 for a standard Silverado.

The garages downtown Seattle always scare the crap out of me when I go into them, your antenna is the first thing you hear scraping.

 

I only go into them if it is absolutely necessary, these trucks are pretty big, and things get tight quickly.

I believe the Z71/X31 are the same height as the standard 4x4's Its only an upgrade of shocks, skid plates , air cleaner  and the 2 speed gearbox. No lift involved.

My Z71 has the 20 in wheels with the 33" (32.5) tires. This probably adds an inch over standard.

Dealer helped me out.  78.23, there is a 2 inch lift with z71 and som change due to different tires.

The z71 does not have a 2 inch lift. That would be a Trailboss.

I found the 2 inch lift thing on a chevy website.   But the number came direct from my dealer.

An LTZ Z71 has the same diameter tires and the same ride height as any other LTZ. The Trail Boss is the only Chevy that has a 2 inch lift from the factory.


FWIW, the tires on a Trail Boss are actually shorter than what’s fitted on the LTZ with 20” wheels.

Well my 2020 Sierra SLT, X31 20" wheels. Looking at the overall height at the Shark Fin which looks to be the tallest point on the truck.

My garage door opening is 84" tall measuring down from the opening to the top of the Shark Fin is 8.5"    84" minus 8.5 " = 75.5"

 

Sometimes the dealers aren't always right.

No way the Z71 has a lift, I have that too and it's exactly the same as the regular 4x4s.

GM's Order guide shows Z71 is NOT available as an option on either Trailboss.

 

As others posted, the trailboss trucks are the  only ones with the factory lift. 

 

All LTZ are crew cab

 

GM says - for 4wd crewcab: 

short box  75.4"

short box lifted 78.23"

So the number the dealer gave me was the short box lifted number.  So on the LTZ with Z71 is it the short box or shortbox lifted?

As has been said multiple times, unless you added it only the trailbosses have the lift.  A normal Z71 LTZ has no lift.

    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
