some updates on the Escalade
I put on pretty much a whole new front end. I replaced both from hubs. 3 camber alignment pins on the passenger side that snapped when I was off-roading lol. I replaced upper a arms and lower ball joints. I also put on that free 3" body lift. the lower ball joints I had to grind the edges and then beat it out with a sledge. I also managed to break a 1/2 inch breaker bar over removing my wheel spacers. they were a pain in the butt to get off. everything was pretty rusty and mud caked for an Escalade haha. I broke the heater hose fitting connector when I was liftin the body so that was an extra $25 for that plastic piece. keep in mind my front end was so bad I had very little control of my suv I was takin up both lanes driving down the road. so I'm very glad i regained that control. I am getting an alignment within the next couple of days. and one of my buddies just got a Denali and is racing everyone and winning so I'm fixin to whoop him lol anyways can't decide if I want to put on the blue or red wheel well lights. because I seen a cop pull over someone with blue lights underneath. I mean I've talked to a lot of people and they say they have no problem with the blue rocker lights and getting pulled over or anything. but I just can't make up my mind. I hate red haha anyways let me know what yal think. and i ended up trading my dune buggy for a 400ex plus a gun and cash from him so i think it was a pretty good deal. and we finally got a couple inches of snow in good ol middle Tennessee!!

Red and Blue are a quick way to get a ticket unless you are parked and off a public road. Glad you fixed the truck and are no longer a threat to others lives. You really shouldn't have been driving the vehicle if it was uncontrollable.
