20x12 fuel hostage ?s

[Hendo]

ive done a good bit of searching and couldnt find anything..

will the 20x12, -44 offset 4.75bs hostage w 35x12.50 trail grapplers work with 6" of lift, or would i need to add keys and spacers too?

or would i be better off going with the 20x10 -24 offset 4.5bs hostage?

this is on an 04 awd escalade .

You'll need keys and spacers the 20x10s would fit better but you'll still have to trim to fit those. The trail graps run pretty wide in that size.

Ur gonna be doing alot of cuttin to fit x12s and 35s on a 6"

thanks for the advice guys.
I think im just going to go with the 20x10's to keep the cutting to a minimum.

I'd still gonna be cutting alot with only a 6" and 35s unless u get a full drop kit. Being ur esky is an awd I wouldn't be comfortable cranking it any more than necessary. Knuckle kits that are advertised as 6" are really a 4" lca drop and then 2" of crank to make up the rest

+1 on that do a pro comp full drop kit and see how she sits, the awd trucks are little bitches about being cranked compared to the 4wd trucks since the cv will always bind on awd trucks that are cranked to shit. I think a Full drop cranked up to a 7" would sit nice on 20x10s trimmed but you will have to sawzall some shit to get the clearance.

i was going to go with the bds system, but i like the non knuckle style better.

is this the one that will be compatible with my escalade?

i want to get rid of the autoride and stock shocks all together.





im running 285's now on cranked stock keys and nothing in the rear...its nowhere near what i want, so im stepping up .

thanks in advance for all of the advice/help guys.

You can delete the autoride but you still need the 51246 front driveshaft. Deleting is easy, just disconnect the battery for a few minutes and pull the RTD fuse under the hood. Then you can run bilsteins, ranchos, hell foxes if you have the loot. Hit me up if you need a kit built for ya.
