So I have an 07 Escalade and I purchased the 2/3-4 kit from Tony. I am running factory rep 24's with 305/35 24 tires. I'm not sure how everyone else is getting the leveled look because when I put the spindles on and no spacer in the back, the front was 3/4" higher than the back and it rubbed constantly in the rear. I put the spacer in, trimmed a little, and it looked better, until I got it aligned......

I took it an got it aligned and now the front looks like it went up and inch and my passenger front tire looks like it sticks out more than the drivers side. This got me looking and my front wheels stick out around 1/2" more than the rear. Is this normal?

All my fenders measure around 34 to 34 3/4, depending on where the vehicle is sitting. Any help would be great.

I'm running the same kit as you, except my numbers are completely different and my front passenger tire rubs at anything greater than 3/4 turn of full lock.

I'm presently running the rear without the spacers and my Passengers side is 33.75" front and rear. Drivers side is 32.75" rear (full tank of fuel) and 33" front. I'm replacing a leaking rear shock later this week and am then going to start playing around to see if I can get her to 33" both sides front and 33.75 both sides rear. When I had my alignment done I payed for a 5yr plan so I'm going to start playing with different numbers on the front passenger side to try and eliminate my rubbing so I can order 24's next month.

I know Tony has a strut mod that will bring the front down if you're looking to do that. Are you sure your rear shocks are good and everything is working properly with your auto ride? I've read a lot of threads and it seems NNBS ride height is all over the place.

All 4wd trucks have a wider front track. I'm not sure about RWD or AWD Suv's, but it's probably normal.

Maybe mine is a little higher because I have 24's. It seems somehow when they aligned it they raised my front up an inch. I'll go to a gas station pad and measure everything tonight.

I took my auto-ride off, shocks, compressor, etc. and replaced with air lift coil spring bags and regular shocks.

I plan on doing the front belltech struts and take my spacer out of the rear once I get the Spohn stuff.

This is when I first did the drop, looks almost perfect. It doesn't look like this now, the front is an inch higher after the alignment. I'll take some pics tonight.

with no spacers in rear the 4 inch will sit lower. Also depends on which springs gm used in front because theres a few different spring rates.
