If I remember that's right, 2/3. I can't get the rear any lower although I'd like it to sit level. I experimented with different length links for the autoride and if I make them any shorter they pop out when I jack up the truck to pull a wheel. NORCAL SS do you have a solution for this? I'm actually thinking the shop might not have installed the shock extenders. That would make a difference wouldn't it?

Yes no shock extenders makes a difference along with pushing the shock shaft way far in

I ordered some DJM endlinks and bumpstops from Tony. Looks like I'll be cutting the factory bumpstops off for the free travel mod. That looks like fun. Good thing I'm a ninja with a sawzall like some others are. Then hopefully I can make some shorter ride height sensor rods to get it down a bit more.

Well my appologies to norcal. I thought my guy was gonna talk to him and buy from him after i set it all up for them to talk... but i never followed up. Just assumed he did. Truck is being lowered now... and i told em that it looked like the kit from norcal was good... he said he got it somewhere else.

Im sorry. I shouldve paid more attention man.

@NorCalss Tony if you ever have a set of oem escalade front springs you can sell let me know. I changed mine to ltz and they sit high even with the drop.

Im not sure what u want to prove... u wanna prove that the kit is not as good as urs... maybe it is... maybe it isnt... idk... in fact at this point it does not really matter does it.

Fact is... the truck is lowered... im told it drives well... it will be going for alignment next week... then when some other work is done ill pick it up...

Then i can take all the pics u want so u can tear apart whatever u want...

Noooo im not getting defensive.... but i have had enough of ur small comments like... "ummmm..." and all following up ur... aknowledment of my appology that i thought ur items were purchased.

I keep failing to read that the truck was in the shop still, and every response of urs has been of u "barking" some type of order to u... what was used... take a picture of that... whats on ur invoice.

I think what u meant to say was probably the more professional. "Hey man... as long as ur happy..." but no... ur THAT GUY... U KNOW...That guy that needs to question or point thinga out to try... TRY to point out that ir stuff is better (whether it is or isnt."

Yes... ive clearly had enough and ill be happy to post up pics for u to do whatever ud like with it...WHEN I HAVE IT BACK!
