Sorry. You deserve a straight answer to a simple question. I just saw your other components and thought it would be a perfect match.

As far as the Z goes I've read most guys don't go more than 2.5". Ask in the suspension forum (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/forumdisplay.php?f=25) and you'll get some good feedback.
