Need the Z heights for a 1999 GM K2500 SUBURBAN 8.6k+ GVWR the torson bars in this are one set below the highest rated bars in the 1 ton+ vehicles.
I see figures from 6.18" to 5.70" +- 6mm.
 
The axles in this Burb are listed as 2000 K3500 that's what it built with so I'm assuming the z height measurement is closer to 5.70" or even less because of the massive cv-joints.
 
Finally figured it all out, my 99 Burb is the 8.6k+ GVWR model the half shaft's and cv joints are massive K3500 when compared to the lower GVWR vehicles half shafts & cv joints so the Z height is at the lower end of the scale for heavy capacity K2500/K3500 vehicles as per the GM shop manuals w/5.70" preferred setting.
