I was born and raised Chevy boy. GM in general. I've had bowties or bikes my whole life. But I work at a cement factory and my truck was getting a lot of cement dust on it, looking for a daily driver I really really did not want a Honda Civic or Accord, so I did a lot of research on different cars and one of the cars that kept on coming up in regards to reliability was the p71 Crown Victoria. I bought a normal one first for my daily driver then got a lifted Crown Victoria and I fucking love it. I mostly just drive the lifted one but wow is she fun in the back roads and in the mud pits. I'll say this: I won't bash Ford like I used to. And more so anyone who questions: " should I buy a Crown Vic" I will tell them yes. Preferably the p71 for its suspension, rear end, and ecu but it doesn't have to be. "

I've had 2 lifted Crown Vics and on the rear of my current one (a 2008 CVPI) I used those spacers too, but I put them up at the top of the spring (at the frame) because that part doesn't have any lateral or geometric movement (the axle side actually kind of rotates a little bit) and then I also put Ford Excursion Police SUV rear springs to give it just a little more load control and weight capacity. I also extended the sway bar hardware and relocated the brake line brackets. (Easy) I cut the lower shock mounts off of the axle and raised and welded it back on 5" higher to compensate for the longer spring/spacer combo.( I kind of regret doing that as I should have just gone to a junkyard and cut the Spring mounts off of a wrecked car and just mounted those 5" up and kept the originals in place in case I wanted to put the longer F-150 shocks on it later. Too late now😶) Since it was a Police Interceptor I liked the heavier duty shocks that were already on it.(much larger diameter shafts and bodies.💪) On the front I just used the strut tower spacers only.(Real pain in the ass!!🤬) but I deleted the sway bar. I'm running 31×10.50/15 Milestar Patagonia Mud Terrains on 15" Lincoln Town Car rims from a 2002 Limousine.(Very strong and+offset) I had to belt sand the casting seam off of the back side of the front brake calipers (police car front brakes are significantly larger than civilian model panthers) but I literally only to smoothed the radius of the casting without digging into the meat of the calipers.(If 16" or larger rims were used or non police brakes this is not necessary) A lot of the modifications I had to do with wouldn't be needed if not using a police car.......but I genuinely beat the hell out of this car,have had it at least 4 feet off the ground several times(on the street and off road) and I just recently did an 1100 mile round trip from California to Utah and back traveling between 85 and 108 mph (on the GPS) with zero issues. (Only got a 230 miles from each 18 gallon tank of fuel but that would improve at more reasonable speeds😯)

This mod just hurts my brain. I don't like it, but I get it on the 'Donk' cars where the look matters more than anything else. I don't get ruining the suspension of the best riding car made in the last 30 years just to put steelies on with a rear gear that's already a turd and axles that already want to turn their bearings to shavings. On the other hand, this looks like a great mod for the small community of folks with F100 bodies on panther chassis... if they wanted a lift as opposed to the more common lowering on those trucks. P.S. the 'Donk' folk get offended if you call anything but a 71-76 Impala a Donk, but that community hasn't provided a term acceptable for other cars with the lift and too large wheels. I like 'Hot Wheels'.

Hey John. You see, it's the "Donk" cars that I don't get, but for clarification, it's the exact same kit that is used on these cars to make them a Donk. As far as the rear gear, it has been upgraded to a 3.27 locker as to help turn those big tires and if I'm being honest, it still rides quite well. I do understand that this mod isn't for everyone, but it's definitely a head turner and I love it. Thanks for watching.

Hey great video! Would a 1997 Lincoln Town Car be the same as well without the airbags? I'm trying to go 28 inch wheels. Wat size lift and shocks will I need?

It was a 3" Liftabrand lift and should be very similar on the town car. You'll want to research the tire sizes to know your overall height. The shocks i used on my 03 MGM were the same year F-150 2wd rear shocks. I believe the rear suspension on the 97's are similar to my 03 but the shocks are mounted inboard the frame but should mount the same as the 97 f-150 shock.

Just wrapped up a 7 inch lift on my 97 town car. You will need to pop out the rear airbags and replace with springs plus lift cups. The process wasn't too bad overall. Currently trying to figure out how to repurpose the old air bag compressor to have a pump for airing up the tires when needed.

No trouble at all. But depending on the year of your car, some earlier models had different style control arms.

@@worldsokayestmechanic6631 Just put a 7 inch lift on my 97 town car to fit some big knobbies. I did need to change out the upper control arms with new ones but it gave me the clearance needed. Got the kit from Universal Car Lifts and the control arms came in the kit but you can also buy them individually.

Thanks for the great video I'm think about doing the same to my marquis. Was there a sway bar in the front? How dose it ride now Compared to stock? Dose it handle ok at highway speeds? Mines about as nice as your grandma car and I can't decide if it's something I should do to a car that nice would really value your opinion on this thanks

Hey! The front sway bar doesn’t come into play and the car rides not much different that stock. Maybe a bit stiffer in the rear but it still cruises like a Merc! No regrets at all! The best thing is it can all be changed back to stock quite easily!

These rims actually came with the car when I bought it so i don't know for sure. My guess is MacPek. They are just a steel rim used for winter tires.
