Title: Need help with lifting my Grand Escudo please
Post by: pabloT on February 23, 2011, 04:58:46 PM
Hey All!
           I recently picked up a 2003 Grand Escudo (XL-7 in some countries). and I would like to lift it between 2"-3". I really would like some advice in the best way not to mention cost effective to accomplish this.
I have come across a few kits on the net and based on all you guys who have done this, was wondering which kit would work best.

Kit number 2 is actually made by me. It will fit the Escudo if it is the same as the Vitara or XL-7. If you want that kit I can get you a better deal if bought directly.

Hello,

I have the masterkit1 3 inch lift on my '04 xl-7 and you can not fit 31" tires, I tried 245/75/16's and they rubbed bad and went back to 225/75/16's which you can run stock.  this lift is also noisie,  alot of squeaking with the metal spacers. hope this helps in your decision.  let me know if you have more ? about masterkit1 lift.

245/75/16 you will need to run 3" sup. lift and 2" body lift plus a little wheel arch work to fit.
