attn: ford techs

can any of you alignment specialist help me out?  I was think if lifting my escape 1.5-2" by using some custom aluminum spacer for top of the struts up front and on top of the rear springs. if i do this do you think I have enough adjustment to have it aligned properly so that i wont eat up my tires???

Might have to grind upper strut/Knuckle bolt hole to allow for positive/negative camber adjustments, but beyond that don't forsee any issues except for extreme angles on cv axels.

do you think that 1" would cause a wear problem on the axles? i would have to get it on a hoist i think to get a better look at it.

A quick ? for you.  Would you be able to put a spacer underneath the engine/transmission cradle to drop it 1 inch from frame?  This might eliminate a lot of binding issue that might arise.

hope that will bring you to the right pic.. do you think what would allow enough adjustment to get an alignment??

I think that will give you all the adjustment you will need.  Looks like a good rpoduct to help eliminate any camber issues.

that will fix the back.. now i gotta find something for the front LoL.

Can you post a picture soon with the wheel off of the front and get me a good view of the front spindle area.  May give me all I need to give accurate info on fix.

OK. i will try to get that done this week. if not i wont be able to do it till march. cause im leaving the country for the month of Feb.!!
