Z85 Suspension Vs Z71. the z71 has wider fender flares than the z85, adding up to 2.25 inches of extra tire coverage. I went and test drove both a '05 gmc canyon 4x4 crew cab and a '04. Standard z85 flares measure 17. no the z71 has taller tires but single tube monoshocks whereas the z85 has dual mono shocks and smaller tires. differences between z85 and z71 suspension. The ride shouldn't be too much stiffer than the z85, the larger tires. technically, the 4wd z85 has the same suspension (torsion bar front and same leaf springs in the rear) as the z71 with the exception of the shocks. the main difference between the z71 and the z85 is the type of shocks on the suspension system. i have the z85 suspension on my truck, but i really cannot find that much information out about what all it consists. the z71 package is a good value in mu opinion.
