    Trying to decide which lowering route to go

    I run 305/45/22 Pirellis and only time it rubs ever so slightly at left front fender well is on dips at higher than posted speed That’s it no other concerns.

    20's or 22's for Escalade

    Purchased with 20’s and I think 22’s look like they fit better. 20’s just look a little small for the size of a Tahoe. MHO

    Lowered vs. raised 2wd

    Did a 2/5 Belltech drip kit and 285-45-22 Pirelli tires and it drives like a car in turns.No clearance issues. Makes driving a bit more fun.

    Key sticks after shifting back to park

    Just had to replace ignition cylinder/key and parts people said half the time it’s the ignition switch so both are common problems. Check switch.

    Best Ride

    Best ride is stock! Went 2/4 bel tek with 22’s and rides firmer but turns and handles much better. But I did it for the look more than anything.

    Pop after lower kit

    If it pops at the end of a tight turn probably pitman arm bushing worn, need new arm. That fixed mine years ago

    Dome lights don't shut off

    I have same issue. It's my drivers door switch. I just open and close the door again when it happens and radio shuts off. Just keep forgetting to get it replaced. Minor annoyance.

Leather repaired , escalade insterments, complete carbon fiber interior trim kit. 2-4 Lowering kit removed running boards, 22" wheels and tires. Nice to remember him every day

    What made you go with an SUV over a Truck?

    Had many trucks my buddies and I pulled drag boats/cars/ski racing for years. Just think of them as workhorses. But we bagged our dullays built the 454's and even put a large aluminum wing on top of one of my Last ones. Retired so still wanted a cool large guy type vehicle I could fix up and...

    None! Not over any bumps or sharp turns. After drop I had 275-60-20" Goodyears and rubbed a little at front wheel well on bumps so went to tire measurement guide for 22" and 285-45-22 was an inch less in diameter than the Goodyears. Perfect!

    Transmission not shifting real great 2004 Yukon XL Denali

    Have a 2004 Tahoe and for 2 years if driven normal, easy and trans would flare up 500-1000 rpm mostly on 2-3 shift most of the time. I used to be Ford Tech in 80's and 90's so I know how to work on cars. It never set a code, never discolored the fluid but changed a few times just to see if it...

    3/5 kit ride?

    Went with 2/4 kit springs, spindles, shocks and put on 22's rides nice and firm handles so much better cornering. Sudden bumps at higher speeds are harsh.
