I'll be the owner of a 2003 escape limited when it arrives, and I'm doing some homework on options to put some bigger all terrains on it. I have a set of 245/75/R16 on my trailblazer that I want to just move over, but I expect I may need a slight lift for that? I had a rough and country leveling kit put on the trailblazer, does the 2003 escape limited also have a lower front end than the rear end? By how much?
From what I'm reading, there's not a lot of good lift options or leveling kits other than cheap ebay ones that I'm not sure I would trust. What can you all tell me about products that are currently available and are actually safe / reliable?
Just thinking outside the box - would it be even remotely plausible to consider converting the struts to the ones from an explorer - where these kits are more commonly available?
I welcome any and all feedback from anyone with some experience and answers to my questions. Thanks in advance!
