Dose you truck even lay frame now? If not I would work on that before I did a body drop... and if it was me I would build a new frame out of 2x3 rectangular tubing and then lower my body mounts to get a stock floor body drop.

Right now I am in the process of cutting the escalade up and doing it right way. It will be laying frame but I gotta tell ya there is allot of fabrication involved. So for I have cut the inner fenders up front, I still need to raise the upper CA mounts. I pulled the fuel tank and all associated parts, pulled the rear end and shaved off all the brackets not I am just waiting for my material to come in to build the lower link mounts, lower links and notch the frame. Oh and I can't forget about cutting the floor out of the rear and building new wheel tubs.


oh and here is an Escalade with a new frame to lay on 26's

what size wheels you going to do? i think people really under estimate the work that goes into laying a suv out.

Im only going to the running boards but it would cost me a ton more to lay body since im doing such a big wheel.

He is on 28s..

But when we go to lay frame on mine its going to take ALOT of cutting because im running 24x15s so the hwole body drop concept became an immediate issue because its already going hard under the knife so it was a "now or never" kinda thing...

I just got a phone call... as of february.. if everything goes PPPPEERRFFECCTTT
my household income might be somewhere around $450k annually... soooo im NOT sweating the money so much... besides.. i have turned down multiple 16K plus offers on my bike waiting on the 20k mark.. plus 16k im about to pull of this brokerage deal im helping with on ebay.. and since that money is already in the bike im moving it directly to the yukon..

So ill have if $20-30k to put into my tire/wheel/paint/suspension combo and suspension....without having to come out of pocket.

$7400 in wheels/tires.. $2000 in paint material.. leaves me with 10-20 grand to finish suspension and interior..

this sick ass shop here in tampa said they can get me to frame using my parts for $5000-$6000.. so add in another $5000 for a body drop .. puts me with

Leaves me at 0-10grand to do the interior...

WITHOUT coming out of pocket....

I THINK ill be alright.

plus im not gonna run into alot of issues you did (trick) because my side to side size(24x15) is going to be waaaay easier to deal with than your up and down(28xX)

shit son. doing the damn thing. im at my limit with this truck. It seems like i get 1 step done but i have to take 2 steps back. Something is always holding us up. First it was the decision on the wheels/ then all the parts/ now axles. but it will be worth it when its all done. so will yours!
