blown65stang Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hello guys, Iam new to this forum. I have an AWD 04 Escalade, i want to install some air bags . I was wondering if you guys think that will put any strain on my front axles. Also your guys opinions on long term ride quality. I am planing on keeping this truck , dont want to spend the money for something i cant drive everyday. I would appreciate your guys opinions. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 if you bag it, chances are it wont be AWD anymore.....Chickens caddy, that im working on ATM was originally bagged by F.B.I back in 02. The front "transaxle" or "transfer case"(sorry im not a 4x4 guy i think thats what it is) was disconnected. Its just RWD now..

I think you mean they disconnected the driveshaft betwenn the front differential and transfer case you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

blown65stang Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I thought that an AWD , if you remove the axles the vehicle wont move at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshere Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well gas prices are high as shit, so converting from a AWD to 2WD isn't a bad idea, especially if you can get some fun and beauty out of it at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big P Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 You can only drop it down a little before the halfshafts begin to bind. So converting it to 2 wheel drive will be in the works. Done properly it will ride better than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
