Hello All new to the forum.

I have a 2007 escalade awd with a front 2" leveling kit that sits under the struts. I am running 24x10 wheels with 295/40 tires which are 33" I believe. I had to do the cali mod on the front and a little bit of trimming. They clear every excellent with no rub.

What is the difference between the leveling spacer that sits under the front strut and the spacer that sits over the front strut? I want more lift so I am thinking of just adding a 1"-1.5" spacer to the top of the strut to get a full 3.5" front lift and a lift cup to the rear of the spring to even it out.

Is this all ok?

@crownvic31 Not sure if you still wondering, I would go for a single above strut spacer as I feel that is a more mechanically stable spacer instead of the under strut.

I think anything over just the 2" level kit and you get into issues with the upper control arm angle being too much. I considered a higher lift on my last truck but ultimately decided against it just because of this issue.
