Factory optional "heavy duty suspension package"?

[toaster-pastry]

I have a nearly stock 2WD '00 C1500 that was purchased used and it sits up high like a 4x4. The window sticker states that the truck is equipped with an optional heavy duty suspension and chassis package.

 

What all did this include and how does it differ from a base model 2wd?

 

for referance (yeah, looks 4WD doesn't it?)

 

 

thanks

any info on it cause i got the same question

The option code for the package in question is Z85. It includes slightly heavier duty springs and shocks.

I have the heavy duty chassis package on my 97' K1500 and it also included a semi-floating 14 bolt rear with 6 lug outters with (35-38 spline can't remember) axles over the standard 10 bolt with smaller axles. There are a few post on this forum about the heavy duty chassis package.

I wish my truck could look like that.

 

What do i have to do to make it look like that? (what lift for front/rear)

Nice wheels. It does look like a 4wd. I have an 06 with trailoring package and mine doesnt sit as low as ive seen some on the lot. Still looking for a little more wheel well space like the 2500 but thats another topic.
