I have a 2024 Bighorn and I'm fitting the springs and shocks from a "Built to Serve" edition, the same age. This is the "raised ride height" option. I'm fitting the front struts, springs, and rear Springs and shocks.
Some information for others looking to do the same:
The rear Springs are the same thickness, but are 1.5" longer. The rear shock is about an inch longer total, meaning it has about 0.5" more travel.
The back sits 1.5 inches higher right now after fitting, but will probably settle down a little to about an inch after a few weeks. It rides the same. You'll need spring compressors for the back, unless you unhook the brake lines.
I'll post more information once I do the front, too.
I have a question for anyone that might know; are there any other part number differences other than the springs and shocks? The brake lines on the back are really at their limit now, when at maximum extension with that extra inch. I'm concerned for those that fit a 3" lift without swapping them! Could they be longer on a factory raised ride height truck? Also, are the bump stops the same, or longer, to account for the longer shocks?
Thanks.
