Yeah, I planted the thought in the mrs mind last night ... did not go too well. :)

So I'm expecting the usual two month lead time until she capitulates. Got the wheels in one month!!! That was very good.

Sokay though ... gives me the lead time to do some research as to what I really want, and what it will take to achieve it.

What the heck is a 'balloon' anyway ... or was that a 'spindle?' lol

you need my wife to talk to her... usually I'm the one telling my wife to take it easy!! This month's TO DO list includes: rehooping the front 24's, putting on the Wilwood 6-piston brakes, new exhaust, and possibly escalade door panels and roof rack. Last month was the 2011 Escalade rear bumper.

Meanwhile... my project is dormant. LOL.

Escalade door panels? Do those just go on top of the tahoe door? I saw someone selling those panels but didn't know if the actual metal frame of the esky and tahoe were different or not...

its just the interior door panel, the plastic piece. The doors are the same on the hoe/esky and burban/esky esv. Only difference is the interior panel is leather wrapped armrest and insert, and has a chrome trim ring around the speakers. Atleast thats the only difference I could see...

Denali is the same thing as the Esky IIRC.

Final wheel choice:

Now waiting to see how Felix's 2" rear drop looks. :)

Also considering Esky spoiler, chrome handles, and roof rack ... opinions on that set of mods are most welcome. :waytogo:

I can't wait to do it either LOL.

I think the new LTZ 09+ side molding and esky roof rack/third brake light would look so good on your ride... but you know how 'partial' I am... :chicken:

That side moulding just does NOT cut it for this vehicle especially with chrome rims but MAN does your ride look CLEAN (again!) LOL.
