Very nice. My avalanche is from that same generation of gm long wheel base vehicles and has put up with a surprising amount of abuse. The only real damage I managed to do was shearing one of the bolts on the front driver upper control arm after going off a drop way too fast. If you do decide you want some running boards again, the tubular ones off of an avalanche 03-06 "without" the body cladding should be able to mount up if you nab the brackets with it. They'll sit out from the body and are much better in day to day use while looking a hell of alot nicer.

Fuelslt1 posted:The leveling kit is just torsion keys for the front and spring perch + shock mount spacers for the back. The auto ride & self leveling shouldn't be affected. Did you have any issues with alignment afterwards and what kit did you use?

Fun fact, there were 3 versions of escalade during this time period, the regular tahoe based one, the avalanche based one (EXT) and a suburban based one (ESV). The latter two were on a seperate chassis along with the yukon xl which is a modified full size truck chassis. The Escalade ESV is sadly the only one without the optional 8.1l engine. God knows why, It probably would have sold like hotcakes.

Its a modern big block chevy that was updated and for truck use instead of developing a 10 cylinder sbc motor for people who wanted a gas powered high torque option instead of going for a chevy with a diesel which hadn't proved to be the best of options in that time period. Its existence ends with the death of the gmt800 vehicles which could be attributed to emissions, the duramax's teething issues being largely worked out and a wider acceptance of diesel powered trucks being for things other than farm trucks.
