Brett's 2004 Escalade 6.0 AWD build

I like both, but may have to agree with the silver. IMO the wheels seems to pop even with the rest all murderered out.

Tough choice...

I might even go with LTZ rims in silver, I think I am just going to lower the rear 2" to level it out and leave it as is so I have ground clearance for the winter still

They say 2/3 is ok for snow, but i was going to do the same thing to my tahoe, 2 inch drop spring in the rear and 1 inch on keys up front, still leaves you plenty of clearance and you don't have to mess with cutting the bump-stop bracket for the free travel mod. Kit should be fairly cheap as well, keys, springs, and shock extenders for your stock auto ride setup, shouldn't be more than like $300.

Ya that's about the price for the 2/3 kits I've looked at, but debating if I want to go spindles or keys cause 2 inches up front you might be ok with keys or might need spindles to get it aligned correctly

Good info. Thought I'd throw this out there just for comparison when I have been researching perhaps lowering the Suburban. This is the 2/3-4 kit from Tony.

Tony is who I'd use, I got my current rims from him and my lowering kit & shocks for my OBS Tahoe

Probably going to need spindles for 2 inches in the front, and the belltechs are like $275, plus the extra work as I mentioned for the free travel mod, definitely not as simple as a 1/2.

Thanks, the new plates came out to $94, there was a transfer fee, new plate fee, I think a few other fees, and not too sure how it effects the registration fees we pay every 2 years for that, wouldn't be shocked if it's a lil more now with custom plates

How much does your registration come out per year? Here in Jersey the Tahoe is $71.50 per year.

Either way, your registration fees are way cheaper than California! Mine is $164 every year! Plus $65 every even numbered year for California smog. And it's going up by 30% next year thanks to our jerkwad governor and his new taxes. Ugh....

Fog lights should look good!
