Max's PSI is at 10 right now. I still haven't got the bags in yet. I will try running 10 PSI when I get them in and I'm going to run separate air lines. Both you guys T'ed yours. I figured I'd try it independent.

Working on something else right now... My rims are M.I.A. :)

I put em at 15 the other day, has a bit more rake and I'm not a huge fan of the tire gap but it handles better. I just gotta start buying parts to bag this thing. You powdercoating the 20s? Should look good :cheers:

I got the 07-09 escalade 22's that I've always wanted in the first place. Not a bad deal either.

I've been trying to find those esky 2s in silver forever but nobody makes em, I ****** love those wheels. I almost bought the slides but I'm holding off until some fresh stuff comes out, buddy at wheel pros said kmc and a few other companies are coming out with some dope new all black stuff this spring. Lucky bastard if I had a lac I'd already have those on my truck...cleanest oem wheels gm has ever made :imo:

+1000. The second I got my truck I new I'd get these rims. You can't beat OEM chrome and the fact that they are 22's

Gonna look awesome with those eskys, can't wait to see it (not really feeling the current setup). The offset will really help to clear those bigass tires. You keeping the 285/45/22s?

me neither, but they were free and I sold them for half of what I'm getting the 22's for. I knew I could get more for them then I would my stock 17's...

It depends if they clear my wheel wells or not. Right now, my 20's rub even after raising it up. They have a 31mm offset and are 22x9. I'd like to put some 265, 275,or 285 35 22's so I can go lower and still have a turning radius. I guess I'll measure it to find out what tire would be best and look best. I don't want rubber bands or it to be stretched.

Whatever gets me lower...

265/40/22s will fit well, and the truck will be way more fun to drive.

Thanks for the info. I have someone who is interested in buying the 285/45's right now, so it might work out good for me.

What do you guys think of the rims and exhaust tips?

I think if the rims and grill match, and that color is a dark red like that, you can pull it off and would look sweeeeeet.


But it would have to be a DARK red like that :)






...and paint that lower lip please, ok, thanks. ONLY part of yor truck not painted (being a denali)
