Another Escalade
Wow is the first thing I said when I opened this kit. It's huge. Anyways, My plans for this one are...big rims, thin tires, stereo system, screens, possible airbrushed paint job. Well, I've got the first 2 things off the list. I took these from a Jada truck. Had to cut alot away on the chassis to fit these. Yes they do roll with the interior in too. Heres the pic. Hope everything come out right.

Re: Another Escalade
theres no body parts on it right now...
thers still the front and rear bumper and side step.. so thers still a little bit of room to cover up the ride height. This one is with 26" rims which is close to mine.


Oh..and it cant be lowered with these rims. The tires already almost touch the wheel wells, I even cut away most of the wheel well to fit these huge tires in it.

He is right. I think the rims look rather odd on the car when it is not lowered.

Re: Another Escalade
Orion- The S2K is still on hold.. I just can't get the putty to stick to the body. The RX-7 I've had for a long time is still missing decals. Anyone who can print color decals and have them show on any color..give me a PM.

Looks sweet dude, I don't think the ride is bad at all. Many of the trucks with big wheels retain a taller ride so they don't have to mod the wheelwells (even on the real stuff). If you get a chance, get some pictures outside so we can see the wheel detail. Nice.

Re: Another Escalade
The ride height looks about right to me. Most trucks rollin' dubs (and bigger) don't do anything to their suspension.

Re: Another Escalade
If everyone says slam it..how? Its not that easy with this kit. The Axles all attach right onto the chassis, which really sucks.
