The Z60 shocks (going by my neighbor&#39;s Silverado SS) have less dampening and are smaller in diameter.

The heads and the pistons appear to be the only differences on LQ4 and late model LQ9. Is there that much of a difference?

again they r not off roading shocks, they r made for handling, and as u stated ur not plannin on seeing dirt so the ss shocks would be better for that application, the heads r the same from what i know, and the pistons and rods r different. the lq4 has dished pistons lowering compression and also the lq9 has stronger rods i believe.
