Just like my old escalade i had the 16" wilwood kit as soon as the kit comes out for this escalade im doing it.

Tony...obviously you get involved in these projects as your livelihood and based on your experience with the 22" and larger rim/tire combinations...do you see long term negative effects from the additional unsprung weight ?

I had OEM 22" Rims/Tires on my last Escalade and I was AMAZED as to how much heavier they were than the 18's and even the 20". I went through front bearing hub assembly's and brakes like crazy...suspension pieces took a beating also. Are there heavier components available to compliment the heavier rim/tire assembly's ?

the 26 inch dub future with a 295 30 26 is lighter than the escalade 24x10 reps with 305 35 24. LIke i showed on my old escalade it saved 8 pounds on each wheel/tire combo.

the 285 45 22 on the oem rims are 3 pounds lighter than the 26s with the tires mounted so its not that bad

 

[NORCAL SS]

oem 22s with tires mounted was 85.1
24x10 reps with 305 35 24 95.2 lbs each
26s dub futures with tires 88.4 each

Does anyone build a heavier version of what we get from the factory for hubs and front suspension pieces or are we stuck with stock pieces in these GM Full size SUV's?

 

[Yukon John]

I think I may have answered my own question.

ive had yet to have a hub go out on local trucks for the fullsize line running bigger rims, but for the trailblazer ss's when lowering on awd past 1.5 inches the hubs go out and you replace oem with timkin and been good to go.

 

[NORCAL SS]

Well that went well..... wilwood 16/14.25 set up ordered. I'll do drop plus wheels plus lowering all at same time

 

[Jonah52]

Need more pics! looking good.

 

[NORCAL SS]

Got truck tinted. 15 percent over rear oem tinted windows and front limo tint and limo on sunroof.

 

[NORCAL SS]

came home and parts started to show up. Have the suspension almost all here. Will be dropping it off tomorrow at the powder coaters. Going to do it all in semi gloss black. Im trying to make the swaybars/springs/mounts etc all look factory.

if you need afe intakes just holler can save you over summit or jegs. I will be doing a before/after dyno of the intake also

 

[Pachanga02]

Very nice can't wait to see the end result. Then again is there ever an end???

 

[chevync]

I'm in for pics!

 

[NORCAL SS]

all suspension parts dropped off at coaters should be ready next week
