- installing a lift kit on my 1997 ford crown vic.
3 inch lift-a-brand kit
police interceptor front shocks from same year
02 f150 rear shocks
crager steelies 15x8
marketplace tires 31x10.5r15
I just put 31's on my vic with 3' lift, had to cut the rear fender wells a little bit but it looks mint. Good lookin vic you got.
Thanks for the video. I've been looking for a video for the 02 and lower Vics to see how hard it was and yours is the only one I've seen so far. Been wanting to lift my 02 and was thinking about ordering the same kit you have. But if I do I now know to cut the rear spacer to get the back to sit down a little more cause I want my 02 to sit level. Love you Aero Vic btw.
You lift it yet? I used web site universalcarlifts.com got the 200+ dollar kit like this guy did. Then went to autozone and bought 2001 f150 4x4 rear shocks. I had to modify shocks by buying a 3/8”X6” nipple pipe and cut the pipe into 2. Both pieces 2 and 5/8” and press it into bottom of the shocks. Over all was more time consuming than hard.
Great video. Nice work on the car.
Thanks. New owner banged it up a bit. Saw it in town.
I had pretty much the exact same car except I had the lt235 7515 mud terrain on a 95 x Oklahoma highway patrol crown Vic
Those wheels are bad ass
You said 30’ tires? How do the stock gears do with the lift?
@myideasoffun what year p71 shock are those you have for the front? I have those same lift cups I'm going to install on my 99 Mercury Grand Marquis
Same for my year car. 97
Would this work on my 99
I was told we have to weld the rear spacer to the rear end?
Under flex it could slip out. Jeeps have that problem too. Mostly street you have nothing to worry about. If you want to weld it to feel better. Get a $100 Amazon welder and learn a new skill learning to weld. Or I’m sure u can find a guy at a shop that will do it for $50 just to tack it.
I’m gonna do this on my 04 crown Vic should be pretty much the same right
Front is different. You have a strut. It should be easier
Where can I find the vaccum leak in this your model
Hello,
Nice job with the big tires under the Crown Vic.
Can you tell more about the rims/wheels you used?
Negative offset? How wide are they?
It looks you do not neef the spacers.
Thanks in advance.
They are just some generic wheels from a jeep. Just get whatever they over from summit racing. Believe they were 8 wide and the tires were 31x10.5r15
@@FcDominick ok.
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have 7 inch wide in my shopping cart at Amazon.
Will try to find 7.5 inch wide.
@@silvanhenneman1797 narrow might be better. My front rubbed a bit. Depends on what size tire you want to run. And how much of the bumper you wanna cut
@@FcDominick I thought about 31-10.5 by 15, but maybe 30-9.5 by 15 will do the job as well.
I want to achieve max. clearance without cutting. Body lift, if needed.
The (1996, 48k miles) Crown Vic is in fabulous condition.
So, would be a shame to cut it.
@@silvanhenneman1797 go narrower than
I want same don'e to my 98....
Location ?
How much money you spend on this? Did you end up welding it
Not much. Wheels and tires were off of marketplace. I think I racked it in.
I got a 2001 grand marquis wood that 3 inc kit fit my car
Get a kit for the same year crown Vic. They changed the front suspension some time in the 2000s.
I have 35x12.5x18. Would a 18x10 or 18x9 fit
If you think you can clear that tire. Then the rim would be the least of your issues.
I think a 12.5 is too much. I ran a 33x10.5 and that was a lot. Gonna need more lift or more saw to the body. Like a lot more cutting.
I have plenty of space I'm lifted 6 inches front already cut. I have just been told that I have the wrong rims for my tires? That's my only worry right now?
How can you even name this video a how to.
You dont show anything useful
I don’t understand why anyone would want to completely ruin such a rare and iconic car with this
Rare? One of the most mass produced cars ever.
@@FcDominick That are now very hard to find in good condition
Eh, if you live in a snowy area, getting stuck sucks. These mods help alleviate this issue.
LOL
