My ‘15 Escalade 3.5/4” front and around 5” in rear. Rear mag Delete. Front upgraded Beltech sway bar. About to eliminate front Mag also. 24” Dub wheels with 295’s. Magnaflow muffler and a dual black tip added. Also added a Texas speed cam, AFM delete and a tune. Runs absolutely amazing.

Looks very good as well. I did ARH headers, Magnaflow exhaust, CAI, and tune as well. Went wotj Hotchikis sway bars fron and rear, Spohn Performance upper and lower trailing arms, panhard bar, 26" Intros. Understand about that runs amazing part indeed. Exhaust sounds awesome as well. That 6.2 for the win.

That Escalade looks great! Good job. What's next?

Thanks!!

Since those glamour shots I've got the GM/Brembo front brake kit ordered and I had the brake calipers painted to match while the truck was on the lift to address some fender liner rubbing issues that was driving me crazy. Wilwood wasn't an option for a brake upgrade. I think its because the 2020 has an electronic e-brake so no rear upgrade that I've found.

Next is the Magnaflow Catback. I ran the Magnaflow muffler on my 6.2 Denali and liked it but I think I'm going to go full catback this time. I'm also not totally sold on the suspension. The ride is good. I would describe it as firmer than stock. No squeaks or rattles but I want to play with different rear spring setups and I'm toying with the idea of doing an MRC delete and Belltech coilovers.

Of course I've got engine mod's in the plan as well. My job is relocating me from Maryland to Texas next summer. Once I get settled I'm considering handing the truck over to LMR and doing a modified version of their 750HP supercharger package. Hopefully by that time someone would have cracked the security on the 2020's and the truck will be more tunable. I specifically sought out this vehicle for a number of reasons so it will be a keeper.....

Hi all, new member but I’ve been scoping out this forum for years. Originally had a ‘13 PPV but now have a ‘17 LS. Just installed these from maxtrac (2” leveling) a few weeks ago. Pretty satisfied with both the drop and ride quality. Install was easy as well.

This set of 24” wheels, tires and 2”/4” drop kit and it needs a home. Anybody interested or know of anyone?
Giovanna 24" Wheels w/ Pirelli Scorpion Zero 285/35ZR24 tires. Set of 4. Good condition. 1 yr old with 11,*** miles on them. 50% tread left. 2 of the 4 wheels have minor curb rash that has been touched up and hardly noticeable. These wheels new are $2,500 and the tires new are $1,550. Only asking for $1,850. I’m not sure how to ship this much weight so local pick up might be the only way unless there is a trusted carrier. Will fit any GMC/Chevy/Cadillac 1500 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Denali, Sierra or Silverado or Escalade. 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. ALSO,
I have a Belltech 2/4 drop kit. The drop kit consists of a front 2” drop spindle, a rear 4” lowering spring and 2 drop down brackets to relocate the rear shocks. $550 value. Comes with the wheels & tires. I’ll post a few pics too. Located in San Diego, CA. $1,850 OBO

Removed the Maxtrac 2"/3" drop kit and installed the Belltech 1019 2"/4" drop kit. The Maxtrac was just a front/rear spring swap. The truck rode nice but was a little too firm for my tastes. Reinstalled the OEM springs on the Front MRC struts and installed the drop spindles. I like the ride much better but as others have mentioned I didn't get 2" drop from the spindles. I feel like I fixed the ride but lost some "stance". Also installed the GM/Brembo BBK while everything was torn apart. I'll post some better pics when I get the thing cleaned up a little.

I'm putting the Maxtrac parts up for sale if anyone is interested.

Thanks! I was too lazy to take before and after measurements. Plus I have the added variable that I did the MaxTrac drop kit in between OEM and the Belltech so it could be that I really am down 2" from the original OEM height. Either way there was definitely less front wheel gap with the old drop kit based on my visual inspection.

Seems like I'm always posting drivers side pics so I snapped a passenger side pic this morning while waiting for my daughter's car to get checked in for Quick Lane service at our local Ford dealership.

Next, I'm going to remove the Magnaflow Catback. In its place, I'm installing a 304 stainless custom made Catback with OEM style exit that will be V-banded in case I ever want to swap the muffler and/or resonators. Hopeful that everything will be ready for test fitting next week. I think I'm done with mods until Whipple releases the updated supercharger for the 6.2l sometime this summer. Then I'll start the engine mods.

The Magnaflow Catback will also be up for sale if anyone is interested. I've only got 1950 miles on the truck and the Magnaflow was installed at about 1200 miles so its practically brand new.

^ nice

& i dont think anyone has gotten exactly 2" out of their belltech spindles. think i read ~1.5-1.75 is the norm.
/shrug you think they'd fix that or just update site specs. i emailed them after i installed.


& i have contemplated a V-banding my catback... maybe after i get LTs installed. as i may need to add resonator

i wish GM offered a 6.2 when i got my burb. however the magnuson makes it a hoot ;)
