I lowered my old explorer 1.5" in this manner and after an alignment i had no issues and the handleing was great. I think he was warning you to not go to far so you get you wheels to far out of camber that they can not be realigned.

How did the lowering project workout???? If so, what were the specs for shocks, springs, etc you needed to purchase

What happened is the springs were manufactured incorrectly - about the same height as stock - and Bill from Valley Springworks hasn't sent me new ones or returned any of my recent calls... so I gave up after about $300 investment and disappointing results.

if you are in Portland...you can contact Little Laurie and try to get her old stock VX springs...she lifted hers last I heard..but not sure if she kept it that way or not, because she was having cv boot tearing problems(not sure why unless the shop lited the front end way too high).

I still have my stock ones on my VX.
