This is my first project thread so here it goes. It's a 95 suburban with an escalade front end. It was already bagged in the front when i got it. I don't like how it was done, and it doesn't lay out so I'm redoing it all and bagging the rear. Also plan on body dropping it to lay rockers. Well on with the pics, here is what it looked like when i got it

Don't really care for the tail lights but stuck with them for now, will probably replace them with stock ones later

[98BlackSierra]

That's some serious rake you have going on there

[cupkicker]

Yea, that's with the bags all the way down, when they are aired up it sits level. I'll get some progress pics up tomorrow

Looks like a decent start for a project, you going stock floor or traditional.

[julscruiser]

Are you going to do back before you redo the front?

Gonna do it all at once, and the body drop is gonna be traditional. I already got a lot of work done, so here are some pics of what is done so far
Starting the notches

Couldn't resist seeing what it was gonna look like so with the stock suspension out of the way I put the axle up in


Here it is on the ground, the front doesn't lay out yet, and its not body dropped yet but I like it so far

[cupkicker]

I have more done, will post more updates tonight when i have more time

[98BlackSierra]

That is going to look badass when its done! The photo of the rear wheels tucked is sick.

[cupkicker]

Alright, here is a comparison of the old bag that was in the front and one of the new bags I'm goin with. The old bag on the right is a pretty standard size bag, the new 3800 on the left is just massive, is a job just fitting them in

Next is the 2 link that I built, I know not everyone likes 2 links but it is a simple design, inexpensive, and made it so I did not have to cut into the floor interfering with my back seat. If ur a 2 link hater just skip to the next post :)

Next, took off the front end to do the body drop and make it easier to redo the front bags

Does that first pic have a different axle under the back? It looks like a ten bolt out of a g body or maybe the picture has me fooled.

[cupkicker]

Body drop time, kind nice being a fullsize, can do a simple traditional drop and still have head room, I used to drive a static dropped s10 and couldn't imagine it body dropped this way. I'm 6'4" tall so head room can be an issue for me



And one from underneath, u can see the 2 link installed. The 2 link is about 4' long so the pinion angle barley changes from slammed to all the way up

[cupkicker]

The 4x4 u see on the ground is what I used for the body drop, I just cribbed it up against the frame and then let the body down to rest on it. Then welded in the patches to fill in the gap

Yea, good eye. I used the rear axle out of a 91 caprice, it has the same 5x5 bolt pattern, but its 3" narrower. Pulls the wheels in far enough to tuck up into the fenders

[cupkicker]

And of course I had to lay it on the ground to see what it looked like


I just like this pic, I stuck the camera infront of the rear tire looking forwards the front between the frame and the rocker. Both layin flat on the ground

[cupkicker]

I'll have a lot more updates soon. I hope to have this thing on the road by carisle but its comin up fast

[kdhs10]

Damn, your kicking ass on this thing.
