Default Front Shock/Coil-Over Brackets

Alright guys this is my deal, my 03 escalade needs some serious suspension work... I have had it since new back in 2002, then in 2004 I had a shop put some air bags (big mistake) never liked the ride since, so got rid of them and since it has never been my daily driver I never put any time or care for it, this is the way it has been for too long now...

I want it strong enough so I can use coil-over later on, but for a while just use some shocks, I just got rid of the AWD and turn it to a 2WD so I have lots of space, maybe I'll get a new bracket welded on the lower control arm as well, but right now I want to find the brackets first, so if you guys can help out I'll really appreciated...

I make these as part of my coilover kits,

They are 3/8" steel, so would work perfect as a weld on deal if you want to clean that area up and weld them on.

I have several sets in the garage...see the links in my sig for more details.

Yes I have seen them before and would really like to try this setup, but for right now I wanted to just put some brackets and buy some shocks, then until I can get the coil-over I'll upgrade, also I'm running the djm lca so I need to look for the stock arms, I should have them somewhere... lol

What I mean is you can use my upper brackets as a kind of universal one. The hole is the same spot as the factory one. Just an option
