hopefully you didn't sell this truck cause all the GMT 800 will be going up in value its no more true V8 trucks and cars are being made any longer. I bought my 2002 AWD 6.0 escalade back in march and love this truck. I'm building this truck up to be a more sport/street cruiser. and the sound this truck makes when getting the pipe setup is done right ITS A BEAST of a sounding engine. This model saved the Cadillac brand back then. You can research it. 2002 - 2006 was Cadillac's comeback year. #modernclassic #trueV8

I would imagine that having the bolts half way backed out would weaken them and they are likely to either break or come out. All of the weight of the vehicle is on those bolts and those bolts are hanging by a thread.

Rides just fine. Bigger bumps are more noticeable the lower you go as there is less travel to the bottom of the strut.

Thanks for the reply. Usually in any other case I would. But with the Escalade even when it’s all the way down I still have room to crawl under it. So if the jack gave way and I was under it, nothing would happen. I always use them on cars, I had a friend that had a car fall on him and he was in a coma. I’m very careful in situations that could impact me, this situation was not one of those. Same with any trucks. I don’t go under the tire area.
