Burbalade's 2000 Escalade

What are those mirrors?

Dodge tow mirrors, I'm certainly not the first one to do the swap. I usually find wiring easy but this fuckery has burned out three mirror switches so they're manual for now.

i'm not sure how to feel about this LOL

It looks uncertain of its purpose now.

The extra lights are nice and it's handy having the winch on a DD instead of a parked project, but the Warn Classic does not in any way fit the styling of the Escalade and a stock bumper will be going back on it when I find one the same color.

Tires were occasionally rubbing on bumps and the weight of the Warn bumper and winch maxed out the keys just getting it back up to the height it was at before. Now I could just get aftermarket keys to get an inch or two past factory height even with the weight, but that kills out down travel and worsens CV angles. So... I found a Rancho 2-3" kit.

Front currently sits about 1" lower than the rear measuring by the body lines. So the plan is to set the front lift to 2" which should keep the ride quality while the rear will get my $5 factory 1 1/8" blocks. Just need to pick up longer u bolts, or I might do a u bolt flip.

Looks much better with a stock bumper and a little more height.

Damn that looks good! Not sure how I missed this, but glad I found it!

Did Rancho ever make a 2 to 3" kit for K2500/K3500s? Or was it just for 1/2 tons?

 

[GMC Burbalade]

As far as I know it was only available for 1/2 tons.

4L60e gave out on me, so it's time for an upgrade.

Great build man, I really like those Dodge mirrors. What all did you need to do to get them to fit?

I’m liking those too. Is it an easy fit, or is there a bunch of fabbing that is needed?

that looks like a good buy for 1700. you could probably double or triple your investment once its running good and cleaned up. looks like whoever owned it watched alot of viva la bam lol

I own a 2000 same color but I have an like 50/50 glass n gate split better everyone has there likes lol.
