Robert...if you would be so kind to take a moment to do a little espionage concerning the optional Escape lift kit...in one pic with the lady guitarist it looks as if that 19 has the lift kit and another pic of a different 19 does not...just guessing by the amount of tire depth into the wheel well. Still trying to get a feel for what this lift really might mean visually...if you find any 19's or others with the lift kit a sideview pic would be greatly appreciated. At least one upside of digital photos ..no wait for the negatives to be processed!Thank you

Jeff you do know that the distance between the axle and the ground doesn't change even with a lift kit. Right? It only lifts the body.

No problem. It's an aftermarket lift of about 2 5/8". Dave and Sarina's 19. Bought from Jane and Lori from Morrow Bay - who moved up to a 21.
Note also that those are 14" wheels, so the visual effect of lifting it would be slightly less with the now standard 15" wheels. Dave comments that he thinks the gas mileage is affected somewhat by the trailer sitting higher as well.
