Escalade - What ride height and "kit" with a handling focus

[Deephaven]

After spending days searching on here, I wanted to make a thread as I can't find references with discussion over which suspension kit and ride height to improve the street handling and cornering. Shopping for an 07-10 Escalade, open to years and options, I need to have it bought, built and ready in 6 months when my lease expires. Ready to start today!

Build needs to consider:
-I want a drivers rig, nice feedback and as much capability as possible without completely destroying the ride quality in such a way that my wife won't get in it.
-Will need to account for towing a 5k lb trailer periodically
-Tire/wheel size I would also choose based on performance and not size. I am open to what makes sense to help improve handling.
-Suspension is goal 1. Brake kit, forged bottom and supercharger to follow.
-Very interested in bang for the buck gain, not unlimited in budget. That being said if spending XX dollars is way better then I'd do it.

You can do a 22 inch wheel with a 285 45 22 tire. the 24x10 with 305 35 24 which is the replica wheel i sell is great but does add weight

oh and big brakes i have the wilwood 16" set up

Thanks Tony.

Anyone near the twin cities that has a setup like that or similar and wants a free lunch PM me. I'd love to go for a ride, don't even need to drive.

Do I need to avoid buying one with the magnetic ride or is that ok/desirable?
