How is the best way to get the Z71 sticker off without messing up the paint?

I would get some goo gone (gel)and put it all over and around the sticker, then take a razorblade and gently start sliding it under the surface of the sticker until you get just enough to grab hold of then slowly start to pull sticker off, this has worked for my decals/ stickers with no problems and no it will not scratch your paint unless you try scraping it off lol.

Or another method would be to use a heat gun to get the glue hot then peel it off.

with my 4x4 stickers all i did was heat it up with a heat gun. a hair dryer would work too. just heat it and pick it off with your finger nail. comes right off. you wont have much excess glue. use goo-off or something to get the glue off and you're good to go. takes 5 minutes.

I am telling you, use an eraser wheel you can find them all over it will not scratch your paint. It hooks into your drill. There is no way to hurt your paint using it. Def do not use a razor blade!!

I just peeled mine off on a hot summer day last summer and my truck is an 03. They came off easy with no damage to the paint.

I just heated mine up a bit and they pulled right off, no adhesive left behind...just cleaned it up a bit and waxed the area. This was on my '01 last spring.

Me too. It was 109* and they slipped right off like butter. Be careful with a heat gun, a hair dryer will probably be good enough.
