The driveway sits at a slope so it makes it look higher than it really is in the front. Overall fairly level. I will have to get back to you on measurements but the tires are 285/65R18 Nitto Trails. Here is another pic on flatter ground.

That is where I want mine sitting in a year from now. It looks perfect. Not too high, and high enough to go everywhere i need to go.

I saw the last episode of Gearz and Stacie put this kit on a new Escalade EXT 4WD. Looked like a straight forward install. I would like to hear the bad on the 4wd. I will have to search it now.

I feel exactly the same way.

Damn! i really want to do this but i hear bad stories for guys that have 4wd.

What's wrong with lifting the 4x4? It almost seems weird/pointless to give a 2wd a lift and some Nitto grapplers.

looks good. Have you thought about getting rid of the chrome and going all black?

that was a skyjacker kit... we both have the rough country 3.5... the rough country lift is $400, the skyjacker is $2100.

Im looking to put the same lift on my Tahoe and had a few questions. First off I know the lifts $370 but how much do u have in the install and all? And if I have auto ride and all that will it be problematic? Could I run 305s?
