linked one ton escalade (coming back soon)
- Thread starter 85k5witha6.2
- Start date
planning on upgrading the knuckles on the 60. will something like the TMR gusset kit be comparable to a reid knuckle? or should i just sell another toy and get reid knuckles and an air locker
started tearing apart the front axle last night because i was tired of working on the rear, it has 0 miles on it since an $1600 rebuild 20 years ago, so brand new 3.55 gears that are completely useless to me.
going to get the shock hoops tomorrow to finish the rear up though.

Got my shock hoops bent up today, and thats about all i got accomplished, i did find a 241 also. probably going to take a week or two off the escalade to get some other stuff fixed and sold.
Luke seems like a nice guy. If/when he gets that Dodge done, where is he going to wheel?
Not sure yet lol. It's going to be big. Probably come to Tuttle with it though a couple times at least.
Well that should be fun. How far away is he from you?
Athol kansas, little less than an hour. He moved from California a couple years ago and lived here in orleans for about a year. Went from a lifted Toyota with lockers to his Cummins crawler on axletechs he's building lol.
pretty close to where everything is going to go i think. Everything is going to be pretty tight on the side with full bump, so i think im going to plan on another inch of lift and move full droop and full bump down 1 inch, and then probably only use 14 inch of travel, 1 inch left with the limit straps and 1 inch left when it hits the bump stops.
i also think i might make the wheel tubs taper down to the shock hoop, and then have @Deuling make me some badass panels to go in between the shock hoops
i should probably start thinking about ordering some coils too... anyone know what an escalade body weighs?

so where am i supposed to fit coilovers at in here?
where there is a will there is a way
It looks like my driveside needs to go right where my hydroboost is. Passenger side will be easy
Towers are easier then hoops but don't spread the load out.
you dont happen to know how far apart the top of yours are mounted do you? and how far apart on the axle
Got most the front end removed, just need to cut off all the brackets.
Have read this a few times over, not real sure what your asking.
I think he is asking about coilover spacing. from left to right on the top and the bottom.
Well crap that makes a lot more sense now lol.
I can measure tonight and I'm actually curious. I tried to tip them in a little for control.
