Default Hotchkis 2/4 drop pics. Before & After.

Before:






After:





Like I stated before. I wish the front was a tad bit lower as I'm not a big fan of the level look. I thought that as much weight as I had taken off the rear that it would have left the rear higher but it didn't

As for the handling. My shocks are crap and it is bouncy, It corners really well despite bad shocks and I am more worried about my crap GT II tires than any suspension sway. LOL

Looks decent but, I'm not a big fan of the level look either. I think a little rake looks meaner. Find some 3" springs, put them up front and take another pic.

Level looks good with a 4/6 from all the pics I've seen.

I really hate the level look. It even feels funny when driving around. i am going to wait until the 6.0L, turbo and 4L80E is in though before I make any changes. I want all the extra weight I am adding in place before I figure out how much to drop and where... I am thinking a 1" or 2" spindle would work up front. I only consider the 2" if the new trans doesn't drop me much and if the turbo in the rear makes the rear even lower.

Either way it's still much better than it was BUT......

color match the bumper and an HD hood escalade handles roll pan 03+ tail lights. oh the 04 feels like crap but its still needs to rack up some more miles im still under 2k and ive been comuting it daily since i got in a wreck in the expedition two mondays ago. but the parts for it are slowly starting to trickle in.... ive kind of had another project distracting me lately though and i still dont even have it my back yard is a project grave yard... currently two 86 rcsb are back there ones a rolling chasis... soon the 04 will go under the knife...
