I would also be interested in more information on the skid plates as well.ertjeffrey said:
Suspension & Lifting
Okay, first post here goes....
I am looking to increase my 2002 Escape's off road performance, so I figured to start with a suspension lift.
However, all I can find is an Old Man Emu 1.75" lift kit, http://www.rocky-road.com/escapesus.html.
Of course, I will also be putting on larger tires, looking at 31s?
Will this make the vehicle at a much higher risk of roll over, or just slightly? I also heard that this is a bad
idea as the Escape has eight CV Joints and it can create alot of issues?
And don't say buy a Wrangler, I already have an Escape and $500 for suspension upgrade isn't bad vs $5,000
for unknown condition and reliability Wrangler.
If it is to much of a head ache I will just go with stock height and forget it!
**I only do moderate trails and light mudding. Nothing crazy like rock crawling!**
