Re: escalade conversion

I have not done it personally, but the design of the vehicles are the same and will work. I believe stylin concepts sells these kits if I remember right. As of the fitment of the parts it would be worth making sure u use as much genuine GM parts u can. GM always going to cost more but fit better than after market.

Re: escalade conversion

i got a 01 hit in front and i was planning this conversion but escalade fenders have a plastic panel that fits over the bottom of the fender so the fender at the bottom has a differt conture but i have heard of people cutting there stock fenders to make a piece to weld to the caddi fender and i have heard you will need to extend wiring harnesses to reach the longer caddi front clip

another option would be to add the plactic trim to your doors and maybe the bed also

but it will all work with a little work

ps-i just went with the stock clip for the simplicity
