I just got this 2003 escalade and the lift kit doesnt have a name on it anywhere, but it does have giant "x" everywhere. at the welds, on the sides in the front and all over the lift are a single X so does anyone here know the brand name of the lift. reason is, im trying to get steering dampeners and tie rods for it and i need to contact the vendor for the right ones to use. PLEASE HELP
Heres the link to see the truck

its hard to come up with a name of lift with your description but the only suspension company that makes giant ifs lifts for late model gms is full throttle suspeneion, and wow 4 12s !! what are the squares or what?  only 1200 watts to power 4 ?  


solid axle chevys cant be beat

Man I hate to tell you this but the lift You have is a Wiplash kit.... by far the worst on the market... I have the exact same setup on my EXT and I have had to pretty much completely re do everything... Here is a link to see pictures of mine....http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/TylerAnders/

If u plan on driving it a good *** You need to get rid of the coil set up in the rear if its not gone already go with either airbags or coil overs

and another thing if you are looking to add anything to the lift like a steering stabalizer do not go through wiplash it will only cause headaches.... pay the extra and talk to the guys at full throttle

You are going to have bigger problems than that. Like broken axles and front end wear/failure problems if you do not first swap in for serious axles and a SAS up front.

thanks for the help tyler anders. you have an awesome ride. wich would be a better ride. the air bags or coil overs?and do you know what size coil overs i would need 3" 4"? and what do you have in the rear as far as suspension goes. i also had kens tuff trucks weld in some support braces it helped but those springs make it jump all over the place. i cant wait to get rid of the springs. so any help would be greatly appriciated thanks
