Default Looking to lift my Escalade..

Hi. I have a 2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT that I currently have lowered.. I like the look but have always wanted a lifted truck and have seen pictures of exts lifted and they look bad ass.. Anyway.. I am looking to do something like a 6 inch lift but I have no idea what I am going to need.. any help would be appreciated.. if anyone has insight on what I would probably be looking at as far as a price for the actual parts and then a price on labor...

The lift is anywhere between 1000-2000, an avalanche lift would fit yours, and installation 300-500. Then there's tires ($1K) and rims if you want to upgrade.... ask anyone, it never ends

You're going to have to get one of the more expensive lifts most definitely with an upgraded front driveshaft, since its an Escalade its AWD. At least I think most if not all of them are AWD.

Not really, I have seen the pro comp full 6" drop work and the rough country kit will work to.

Agreed, when I said more expensive I wasn't implying Cognito or FTS, just the higher grade Pro Comp or to your example, rough country, with a new driveshaft, most likely the Auto Trac version of any kit would work.
