For your 2018 Cadillac Escalade the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRYS4 will work great. These jounce-style springs are confirmed to fit your vehicle and will simply replace the factory bump stop on the frame to provide additional support and improve the overall performance of your rear suspension. I like the Timbrens over air spring alternatives because they don't require any attention after the initial installation. With air springs, especially if you change the type of load you're carrying in your Escalade often, you will need to check and adjust the air bags before each trip. The Timbrens will provide you with consistent support with their Aeon hollow rubber springs so you can just load up and go every time.They also still allow the leaf springs ample movement so your empty ride won't be effected. The springs have a 6,000 pound capacity. All the hardware is included and the installation process is drill-free.

I have included the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
