Hello this is my first post. I bought a 02 Edge a couple years ago and was told it had a lift on it... I am not so sure any more. I believe they just cranked the T-bars and did an add a leaf in the back. i am looking to drop down from my 33" tires i have now to 235/75/15's and wanted to make sure i can simply un-crank my t-bars and remove the block in the back to drop it down some to fill the wheel well better. Also i want to make sure that i do not have aftermarket spindles. i will take a pic to show those as well. also i tried to have my tires aligned as the front left tires cups EXTREMELY BAD and was told that they can not due to the lift. thanks guys!

i think it has bigger blocks and the add a leaf.

 

i believe so to as the bottom leaf is not exactly square either. im actually wanting to just remove the blocks completely in the rear.
edit: also no spindel lift correct? i really hope not as im trying to remove it the cheapest way possible. college is a 40 mile one way trip and gas is nuts especially only getting 14mpg.

 

also i measured the block in the back. its 2". i believe thats the stock one that comes on the EDGE models.

 

I don't know about the spindle lift. you'll have to ask someone who has one.

 

those really look like lift spindles to me. post a pic from the dead front of the truck to confirm

if you are having bad cupping, buy the +/- 3 degree alignment shims and have the front end aligned properly and get into the habit of rotating the tires every oil change

 

well ****! where can i get stock spindles. i want to reduce the tire size and drop it down some so it doesnt look like crap with to small of tires.

 

Not sure, look around here on the classifieds or on www.car-part.com

they are edge specific

 

so 100% those are lifted spindles. the t-bars look to be cranked quite a bit as well.

 

anybody in the southern cali area with an 02 edge looking for lift spindles if this is the case and want to trade? haha

 

on a lift spindle, the lower control arm and the spindle are almost parallel. on a stock spindle the lower control arm is about 2"-3" lower than the spindle
