Yeah the spring are the same but the 2in block in the 4x4s. Z71 and the 4x4 dont really have anything different. I have had both they had the same skid plates, shocks and the gears and posi in mine. I seen nothing different but the stickers on mine.

My last two truck both squeak but only when I'm off the pavement so it doesn't really bother me too much. That's something I should do more often though.
