UPDATE...05 FX4 06Escalade Pearl White/ PPG blue pearl, more lift
I'll explain why I'm not happy with the lift for those of you not in an area like mine. My goal was to create a truck that stood out wherever I go...and at first it did....I had it in chicago for a couple weeks...stares
everywhere...had it in colorado...Denver for a couple weeks as well.. same, lots of looks....
So cal (my permanent residence)...not really....The amount of lifted trucks buzzing around here are like flies....and most seem to be 250's and f350's...now granted I'm not sure...but almost every single one of em looks like with their lifts they have as much lift if not more than I do......I'm guessing they can get alot more lift out of their trucks with conventional kits.......
So as I've worked hard to bring my truck to a level where it REALLY pops...it's again blending in...so in my search to have something different I have only one way to go....UP!

Hey neighbor, aside from the paint flaws you pointed out, the truck looks sweet. If you see a HUGE F-150 driving around town (silver), that guy is a friend of mine also. He's got, I believe, a 14" lift on it. Some bigger tires would def set it off. Good work!

There's also a pretty big 250 i think ...black...with three big letters on the side....I see those big one's and want that lift
.....
Truck does look great!
I (personally) would change the chrome handles to mark lt handles and paint the mirrors instead of chrome... doesnt quite flow with the all painted then those 5 pieces chrome.

ummm rize 8 inch and keep the 3 inch body lift and you should be able to fit thwe 39.5's.
cheaper then then rize 12 inch kit.....i talked to the guy who actually owned the show truck with the rize 12 (was looking to buy it before i lfited my truck instead of lifting my current one but nvm about that) and they dont even make any 12 inch lifts unless you order it. this is how it works
you say you want one....you get put on a list....the list has to get to something like...20 peolpe i think he said THEN they send the order to the manufacturer to make the ktis then they ship....so orderingf the 12"....you could be waiting for months.
time to go find the "best looking truck" thread and put u up there....even with the bad paintjob....the idea of it is amazing and the truck as a whole looks amazing!

Besides who told you that? . . you wouldn't even call Black Sky to see if they'd do a discount if we both ordered from them.
