My 2011 Escalade Build Thread!!

[NORCAL SS]

Well I cut the resonator off and a few things. 1 the escalade has a 3.5 inch cat back set up which will be perfect for my whipple 2.3 and the resonator is totally different then the tbss. Its pretty much solid inside and just one hole in the middle.



and the new spohn bar.

just loaded up the truck with some suspension parts. Im going to do some of it tomorrow im tried of this thing jacked up hi.

48 Miles on the truck I couldn't take it anymore Had to lower it



i wanted to do steps on the truck just to feel the difference.

So today i did the front belltech spindles



Front swaybar



and rear shock extenders



Even with my alignment off the djm front bar and spindles make the truck feel a lot more in control. In the rear im really suprised how better it feels. Its not as jarring and more smooth and this is with the stock rear springs in only thing added was shock extenders. Im guessing the shock angle is better so has a better chance to work.

I cant wait to put the rear belltech springs along with the djm trailing arm relocators, spohn panhard bar, lower spohn a arms and last the rear djm swaybar!! Thing will feel so much better.

the 2wd ones are very rare. Its fully loaded Love the thing. I didnt want awd (ive only lowered 1 other 2wd over the years doing these trucks) since i knew id be doing a blower on it and wanted to be able to smoke up the block.

Yep.

2wd im guessing also makes the swap of the front spindles very easy...im assuming 4wd you would have to press the half shafts out?

Have yet to look at the front suspension on this truck, and yet this is my first 4wd vehicle
