Hey guys does anyone know if they have lift kits for the Escalade. Their is so much plastic on the fenderwells i was not not sure if you could put 35 or a little bigger on them. I have been looking on doing a little diff then all of them running around with big wheels and little tires.

The question I have to ask myself is this; Was the light duty front suspension on any 1/2 ton Chevy (or Cadillac) truck designed for 35" tires?
H2 Hummers are breaking front suspention parts like crazy on 33s from the factory. Or at least that's what I'm hearing.
At my shop, we see alot of lifted trucks with large tires. 33" is about the max for a 1/2 ton truck. Otherwise really expensive stuff starts wearing out and breaking.
I mean really expensive. Like gears and trannies. Front end parts are extremely common too.

It's not the lift parts breaking that I'm talking about. It's the factory parts on the truck that break. Those trucks were designed to generate revenue for GM not to be lifted and have big tires put on them. As a result, parts are made to be only as strong as necessary to perform the functions it was originally designed for. That means tires larger than 33" and lift kits tax heavily the remaining stock steering and suspension parts and cause things like rear ends and transmissions to fail especially early.
