put some more drop on the Escalade, I had some 2” strut cups leftover so threw them in and did Norcalss 4.5” kit for the rear.

How much total drop up front? And what size tires? Do the Escalades come with mag-ride?

Looks nice!

Looks really good but what the hell is up with the headlights and fog lights on the Escalades?

Not sure what you are asking. Also they don’t have fog lights

The spaceship looking headlights that come up on the fenders and the driving lights in the lower bumper.

What do you mean when you say 2” strut cups? Did you also do the spindles?

No spindles. Here’s what I used

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2007-2018 Front 1"-2" Drop Strut Spacers - McGaughys Part# 34061

Includes Spacer Rings To Adjust Drop when using McGaughys Front 1"-2" Drop Strut Spacers for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2007-2018.

Can’t believe that is just 2”. Looks like 3-4” up front. Looks good.

So I went back through your posts and I saw you did 3” springs first. I’m trying to figure out if you used springs and those spacers to get that low in the front? I understand the rear.

Only thing the front has is those 2” cups. Originally I only installed 3” springs on the rear and left the front stock.

Did you just crawl out from underneath a rock?

I think it looks so low bc these tires are so damn big. The stock 285/45s are a touch over 32” tall. Got some 285/35s coming

I didnt think the drop spacers worked on MRC front suspension

Must be the camera angle and lighting. Looks lower than mine with the same drop components
