I just lowered mine with Crown Suspension - the 2"/4".

I honestly hate it. The factory ride was nice and firm and now with the new coils it rides like a 1970 Cadillac with no shocks.

When I compressed the factory front coils it took a lot of effort with the spring compressor - in fact i wrecked the first spring compressor that i purchased. The crown coils compressed with ease - I knew this was going to be an issue.

Another thing that sucks is if you bring it somewhere and they use a frame hoist the rear coil springs fall out as they are about 1.5" shorter than factory.

When I brought it to get an alignment they said I am totally out of adjustment and the camber? is at 0 and said he likes to see a -1.

I usually buy mcgaughys lowering spindles and coils and have always been happy. As soon as they come out with spindles I will be ripping the crown out.

I do however like the way it looks although i wish the back was another 1" lower.

Definitely looks good and I REALLY like your debadging job!

on the 2015s doing springs in front affects the ride alot. Like ive been doing do my strut mod. its 15 bucks a strut and you keep the nice factory ride.

in rear the belltech kit all the way for 4 inches with the 5305 coils and add in the djm links and bumpstops (for free tavel mod) and your set. Ive set a few 2015s up with the above set up customers have been happy

BTW here is my strut mod. DONT waste time on front springs

also my 5-6 inch kit works fine on the 2015 trucks and ride is excellent.


NO MATTER WHAT. 4 Inch drop or more on any 00-15 you need to do the free travel mod in order for a good ride

Thank you for input guys. Looks like crown is out of the question. This strut mod seems interesting. I would need to find a machine shop that I trust...
Is anybody coming out with spindles soon...?

 

[NORCAL SS]

yeah belltech will be. Strut mod i can do in same day but a machine shop im sure can do it for you. Its not that hard at all.

in rear 4 inch drop need the free travel mod period

I just bought the crown 2" lowering kit for my 2015 Escalade. I just wanted to level it out as the back end stood 2" higher.

It included the 2 inch coils

and the shock extender with air ride

After installing this, my truck is the same height! Does it take a while for the coils to settle? Do I need to reset the air ride? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I just changed the auto ride links a few hours ago. Its still 2.3" higher in the back. I bought the kit to bring it closer to level.
