Lifted awd escalade !!!!!!!

[VWDRAGBUG777]

Hey guys just wanted to start a thread about lifting an escalade why lift an escalade u ask ??? WHY NOT... I looked for three months trying to find a lift for my wife's 2003 awd escalade called around pro comp,skyjacker,cst,etc. ALL of them told me it was not possible ..The rudest one by far were the people at pro comp anyway so I finally found BDS they sell a kit specifically for awd escalade/Denali 4 1/2" and a 6 1/2"with our without autoride I personally went with the 4 1/2" lift and had a 3" body lift on it already it's pricey and man is it a pain in the A$$ to install but the overall outcome is worth it... so this is proof to all the people who were told it's not possible... some of u may have already known about this but I for one did not and I've owned 4 lifted vehicles that I've lifted myself just new to the awd world...

I'm curious. What would be the difference in an AWD Esky and AWD Kon, V/S any of the other GMT800 SUVs (aside from the Auto Ride shocks)?

From my understanding it's the same...

Looks great

Looks awesome man.
I have a 2004 awd denali. Heard the same thing.
But after some long list of reading an research. I found what I needed. And the project is currently underway!

 

[cybertek]

I like it!

I'd take off the stick on fender plastic and not even ask my wife. When/If she got upset ask for forgiveness and move on

Otherwise, looks great!

Looks good!! Whats combined in the 9 1/2" lift... 4 1/2" suspension, 3" body, 2" keys/spacers? It will definitely take 35s now!

The 3" body lift , the bds 4 1/2" lift which came with spacers for the rear , lift keys and I ordered skyjackers soft ride 2 1/2 " lift coil springs for the rear the part # is C25r .... the coil springs are awesome real nice ride not stiff but not real soft and squishy... If I remember correctly the front measured 47 1/2" and the rear is at 47 3/4"...
