05 Escalade EXT


Recommended Posts

AMTs Escalade EXT. Added an IFS bracket lift, similar to Full Throttle suspensions or Cognito and Whiplash types. Big IFS kits never meant to go offroad.

I didnt like how i did the front bracket so i cut the lower control arms off the frame crossmember, made a new bracket to drop the LCAs and returned the cross member to stock location.

Added/made the drop torsion bars, kicker bars, scratchbuilt a sway bar, and still kept the kits ability for poseable front wheels.

Still have to finish the rear. Add some upper control arms and shocks all the way around.

Scavenged a rear axle from revells 99 silverado since AMT only molded the bottom half of the axle and left the top hollow. I cut the top half of another diff and glued it to the AMT front differential.
