2013 Escalade AWD looking for some lift

[braedendavis]

Hate to be that guy, dug around the search menu a bit but im still pretty lost.

I have a 6.2 AWD Autoride 2013 Escalade ESV

I am wanting to lift it with the goal of 35" tires

I will consider 33" tires but my main issue is most kits are 2.5K or more



So I see much less expensive kits for Tahoes, Yukons, and Denalis. I see body lifts and suspension spacers and honestly I have zero interest in actual lift performance. Just want a higher ride and the most offroad ill ever see is flat grass and maybe......maybe a touch of beach driving.

So ive looked at Supreme suspension lifts, and body spacers around 500bucks and around 6"s of lift and yet i cant find any info on what plugs need extended, the length of extension of brake lines and driveline spacers. So if the only safe and quality ride is in a 2.5k+ kit fine, but i come from old squarebody's and always had a much worse ride over OEM with aftermarket kits.

Thanks
-Alex

I guess I would really like to know if AWD GMT900 lift kits work across the board. I know Chevy, GMC, Cadillac over the years have shared a lot and usually the higher in brand and trim the extra features interior and more powerful driveline you get. I just see so much more in the way of lift kits of all kinds for suburbans and next to nothing for escalades. While to my knowledge both share the GMT900 platform.

Hi, what are the details on your lift? I have an 07 Denali AWD and was wanting to do the RC 7.5 lift but they say it won’t work on AWD.

Any 4wd truck front end lift kit will fit on an Escalade. The problem is the front driveshaft and auto ride. Any awd needs a new dual cardan front shaft. This is because of the angle it rotates will cause vibrations. New shafts are about $500. Then the auto ride needs to stay in tact otherwise you get error messages if not disabled with more parts. That’s why the lift kits are more expensive because they make parts to fit auto ride features. Best kit for you to clear 35s is bulletproof 6” or mcgauhgy 7” retaining auto ride. If you’re dumping it then bds with fox coil overs and trick the computer plus new driveshaft.

You have part # for this dual cardan front shaft?

With my 2007 escalade and 4"lift, i do get vibrations

Yes I have 4-5 different ones and all various lengths by manufactures. The best thing to do is disconnect front u joint and push driveshaft all the way into transfer case then measure how long of shaft u need to u joint centerline from front diff to rear I joint at case. Get that measurement and cross reference the closest dial cardan length one
