Anyone ever used this Skyjacker lift? Any thoughts?

Hello I have a 2wd Escalade with AutoRide. I want to lift it with this kit.

Will it work even though my truck is a 2wd? Will I just have some left over parts?

Any tips appreciated.

Don't think anyone on here has used it before. Seems like a decent kit since it comes with lower trailing arms. I wouldn't run it on a 4wd since there is no diff drop but on a 2wd I think your good. I would call skyjacker and confirm it will work on 2wd as the 4wd hubs are the same size as 2wd. Worse case can install a 4wd kit and get 4wd hubs with spline nubs. Track width does increase with that kit.

Yeah I dont mind spending the money to make sure the lift is done correct. After the horror stories I have heard about ReadyLift UCAs, I want to leave my stock UCAs! I dont care about changing the spindle.

Anything else I should be concerned with?

Nope its a decent looking kit other option would be the CST kit. Rancho makes a nice 4" but measures more about 5.5" http://www.gorancho.com/products/su...gmc-yukon-4-in-suspension-system-rs6582b.html

Go big.... I'm at 7" and plan to stretch it up to 8-9".

Rancho looks like lots of modifications, I want little to no cutting if possible.

How about this kit? Says it retains all Autoride features.

Haven't heard of that lift and need to read install instructions to see if really good or not.
