Looks like the front could drop an inch and rear 2 to be about level. Good chance to get some shocks to match the springs, I'm sure it's undersprung like my Envoy. Bilstein HD is OK, but really doesn't control the movement as much as I'd hoped.

Ya your probably right on that I’m gonna get some measurements and see when I need to do, and definitely doing shocks too since the Autoride ones are shot

The last snow storm we had took the Escalade out and ripped some donuts on this dead end road by work, with the traction control off it slides pretty nicely

Scored a set of NBS Denali outer color matched door handles in black for the Escalade, just need to wrap the chrome on the rack & running boards and the truck will be completely murdered out

Your right about that would be a lot more fun if it wasn’t AWD and you had the 2wd option

Over the weekend I got the passenger rear outer Denali door handle on, color matched looks so much better and scored these other handles off FB hopefully have them on the end of the week

I'd go with a Scandanavian flick and/or pop it with the ebrake if it's difficult to initiate. AWD donuts are sick because the car doesn't really move, just sort of rotates about its own axis. Now you guys have me wanting to attempt 4WD donuts in one of my rigs.
