Difference in a crew cab and a ZR5?

[vrodracing90]

I have a 04 Crew Cab and I would like to know what is the difference in my crew cab 4x4 and a crew cab ZR5?

Not much to tell the truth. Mine is a ZR5 and it is just an appearance package. The ZR5s get nice rims, Nerf bars, roof rack, bed rails, gray painted grill-fender flairs and nifty ZR5 decals. "And that,that,thats all folks". I wish the ZR5 trucks would have had something to offer in performance like the ZR2 trucks that would have been cool.

Heres a good read. http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/news/zr5.html

Me too. I recently put the 2 inch suspension lift but the key they sent me was wrong so we put everything else on it. It looks alot better but ride like crap when we cranked the tortion bar up.

Most here that have experience wrenching on these trucks advise not to buy a suspension lift for them unless you are wanting to go big. Even then they say go SFA instead of lifting the IFS. The stock keys allow for more lift than the ball joints and CVs can take. If you need more than an inch or so go with a body lift. Then if a little more is needed crank the bars a little and get springs or shackles for the rear.

Hope you have had or very soon plan to get an alignment. Cranking those bars will throw the front all out of whack!!!

The ZR5 package will carry an MSRP of $1,500 and includes a roof rack, wheel flares, black anodized bed rails and side steps, 15" X 7" cast aluminum, five-spoke wheels with spectra gray accents, 235/75R-15 ???
I thought the zr5 wheels were 16 inch?
Did I think wrong??

Yup ZR-5 wheels are the same 15" as the LS package just a different style
