Chances are you've seen a lifted Crown Victoria before, but maybe you just didn't realize it because it was a "donk" car! You know, the crazy looking car with the HUGE wheels and super thin tires? Well that's one way to build it, but what about lifting, re-gearing, and adding a traction aide, and running some 31" A/T tires? Follow along as our tech David builds our first ever lifted Crown Vic!

That is bad ass. It looks very cool and practical for going anywhere! There is nothing like a big vehicle on the open road and to be able to take it off road is gravy.
Love it!!!
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed! Hopefully Mike (the owner) will join us on a monthly outing sometime and we can get some off road footage
i lifted my 2010 crown vic police interceptor K9 unit. i did the 3" and put 30" BF Goodrich All Terrains on it. Already had a 3.55 posi. Also have a ProCharger from a 4.6L mustang my machine shop pal adapted for me. Its a hell of a lot of fun off road, does surprisingly well in the mud but wasnt bad before the lift really. Most fun though is running up at the party store at 1am tuff and watching everyone scatter lol.
This is awesome! I just bought this car yesterday and it’s awesome! If anything comes up with the build I’ll bring it back up to you guys. You and your team seem really awesome!
Awesome, enjoy!
Now it just needs a pushbar, an LED light bar, a roll cage, and maybe something on the back and it's going to look even more kickass
19:50, the 1989 Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar had that problem. At full lock, it compressed the caliper, and after sitting you had no brake pedal. It was a recall or campaign, I remember putting an acorn nut on the radius arm.
I got a 3in lift on my 03 crown Vic. Also installed a roof rack and basket where I keep my spare tire. I used the rack off an 06 Ford Escape. I love that car.
very cool!
I love how this looks..Awesome suspension work I most definitely want to find a Crown Vic and send it to you guys for this same set up
Thank you! Sounds great, give us a call whenever you're ready!
TOTALLY AWSOME BUILD!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING. I LEARNED A LOT!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
The drop ball joint is very important. It's actually where you get you Camber Caster Alignment adjustments
I'm trying to lift my 07 Grand Marquis 3 inches this was a very good video. The car turned out great 👍🏿
Thanks 👍
We did it to a 2008 mercury marquis it’s got 31s on there BF good rich with American racing wheels 6 inch lift as well
Sounds awesome!
Got a 3 inch lift from liftabrand With 31s. Need a 2 inch body lift. Works great up until 8 inches of fresh snow pack. Then I start losing traction.
Im getting a grand marquis and am going to be making it a gambler ride! I really like the 6in lift.
Nice, that's awesome!
I want to lift a interceptor so this video was a great help!
Awesome
I put 2" Wheel spacers on my 04, Police interceptor.
3" lift F-150 shocks in back all new suspension tires 70/265/16 AT
I LOVE IT!!!!! THE PERFERCT OVERELANDING FAMILY CAR!!!!
Okay, I have an idea. I really like this but we do need to find the proper length control arm and I found steel braided hoses for the brakes which likely could be ordered to length.
I would love to see bigger brakes with the bigger wheels and I also found those.
I would be interested in putting an international harvester or f100 body on that setup!
Sounds great!
How much is it for you guys to do the same lift on a 1999 lx silver crown vic. Im from Greenville Mississippi and I've been looking forward to getting something done to mine but there aren't a lot of body shop options down here or that do good work for a decent price. Body shops here do half the work for all the money and I would rather wait for a good shop to be apart of my journey giving my crown vic a new look. I have other vehicles that might need some attention too and be apart of the Mount Zion experience for more content.
Just watched the video and I want one now how cool would that be how's it ride and handle
wish I would’ve watched before lifting my ‘11 Camry. Only a 2 inch lift but adds some perspective on things I could have done to fix sway bar and link issues. Google is a black hole, Any tips on finding the right parts ?
Not trying to toot our own horn here, but our ability to find parts like we did in this instance comes from decades of combined experience across the dozen or more people we have on staff. You can witness exactly how that process goes when several people are standing around conversing about the rear brake like relocation. The only real advice I can give is to take it to a shop that has been doing custom work for 10+ years, or possibly take the specific part you're looking to replace to a NAPA. Many NAPA stores still employ a few parts guys with 20+ years experience who are able to cross reference parts from one application to another just by looking at them.
Very nice job Love this Stance it will be nice for a Crown Vic on 30s
How much for something just like this I hav a 1999 Crown Vic ?
If I wanted the same set up how much would it cost me for y’all to do a full install ?
Love it👍
I have a 99 with original engine and tranmy ,I wanna LS3 swap it ,not for racing but just sheer power ,and put this exact tires and kut on it and paint it a shiny ,dark smoke grey .
Please comment your thoughts ???
Very beautiful
Is there a problem with the automatic transmission or its temperature rising due to this height?
Not that we have encountered, but that’s one big reason you’d want to re gear like we did
Got a 09 to do, 31's +6" on raised yellow letter NASCAR Goodyear's, a side shoot no cats pipe. Twin a Mercs Marauder a real diesel swap for that soot driveby
Sick!!
I hope you guys are in P A
I’m coming from Baltimore to get mine done the same way💯🎯
That’s a nice car lifted 💯I’ll do me one to!
Love it 💯
Thanks
I just got a 3inch lift kit on my 2004 Monte Carlo SS, but now it's like the axle is binding up. Do I have to do like you did and lower my sway bar to make up for the compensation of the 3inch lift?
Really not sure on an 04 Monte Carlo, sorry!
Do you have the part number to the skyjacker stabalizer link
The lower control arms in the rear don't have a jam nut on both sides for a reason.
These parts need to flex and rotate a little bit and you puting a jam nut on both ends is actually counter productive as the fine threaded side will hold its threads tighter than the course for at its side which is why the course threaded side has a Jam nut.
Now the bushings that are in the ends are going to wear out prematurely cause they're gonna be twisting against each other.🤷♂️
I’m currently working on my own design lift blocks for the front of the 03 to 11 Crown Vic I’ll have them done on Monday and ready to install. I wasn’t happy with the quality of lift plates for the front. I don’t feel confident in there ability to hold up to real abuse. So mine are 6061 And on the rear I’m using expedition springs. About 3 inches of lift. Thoughts?!? This is what ide like to do for living. Design rad parts.
That sounds awesome! When we we do another we may experiment with different lift springs in the rear. A ZJ rear spring looks like it might be about right, then it would just be figuring out the length that it needs
I’ll buy it if you make it lol
Well I'm subscribed only reason why I watch is because I'm in the process of lifting my 02 crown vic and wanted see what kits would do better and what to expect with the lifting process and also to see what it look like with a 6 lift kit and I want to do a in or 2 body lift to clear up som room around the transmission housing in the 3vent I have to pull my motor again
Body lift is a great idea!
I’m very interested in doing the same thing with my Lincoln town car
Totally impressed. What's up with the motor? Sounds good.
Bone stock motor and exhaust.
I fucking love it.
I own a lifted 2009 crown victoria police interceptor and it's lots of smiles per miles
Awesome
I have the same year car and wanted to do the same lift, what would you charge for that same work along with the rear end work?
Give us a call we'd be happy to give a current quote 717-308-1844
I Have a mercury grand Marquis I want to lift like this 5-7 inches with the same size tires
That’s awesome n I’d like to get my police crown Vic lifted like that
good for flood areas as well
Good point!
Just curious but with a 6" lift what do you think that the largest reasonable tire/wheel size would fit in a crown victoria with no or minimal other modifications?
We had to do some trimming on the front for these to work, so 31's is the most we'd recommend. Many have fit a 32-33" tall tire with major trimming and it can look really cool, but is obviously a lot of body work to do it right!
@@MountZionOffroad Thanks, I was just curious.
I bought the 5” lift kit and I was wondering if you put the shocks extender piece at the top or you took it off
We did not use the shock extender on the front
I’m installing the trailing arms in the rear and I put my tire back on and it’s not centered like my differential it’s at an angle I just did one side
No othet platform would be as cool.
But I am biased X-Dearborn-ite.
Recently started a new job with a mud prkn lot, that matches my Arizona Beige 03 GMQ w 197k....and I got to thinkin....WOW
LOVE IT
NIce video, But incomplete. Please revisit the issues you had with the lift kit and what you had to modify. Were the front shocks usable as they were shipped to you guys?
I have ordered a 3 inch kit and the front shocks, while new, were extended with long union nuts. This cant possibly last with hundreds of shock compression cycles. How did you align with those elongated top ball joint brackets.
Please list what you had to customize so that your loyal subscribers get a true picture of what you guys installed.
Thank you,
Mileage will very
Wonder if you could use air shocks with the lift kit
Do you mean air bags, instead of springs?
4:14 I see the start of a burnout build.. when can we expect mount Zion to make the run down to a cleatus and cars burnout comp? :-P
That would be rad!
Hey! I’m doubting you’ll reply but what would you charge to do this exact lift but on a 2002 mercury grand marquis?
we'd be happy to quote your project by email or phone info@mountzionoffroad or 717-308-1844
Hi can wheels and tires thats meant for a suv go on a pasenger car if lifted?i have 22s that came off a jeep suv i have a 2003 buick i want them on
Tires can, absolutely. With wheels it of course depends on the bolt pattern, but also the offset. You'll need to do some research to determine if those aspects of the wheel are right for your car and the look you are going for.
How much to lift one? 05 grand marquis. I have been looking into it, then came across you video.
Ballpark should be around $3000 give us a call or email to discuss 717-308-1844 or info@mountzionoffroad.com
Put a roof rack on top and a wrap around brush guard and you’re set
Everything looks better lifted!
well maybe not EVERYTHING...but definitely a lot of things!
It sure is (:
Would like to see my 89 TC lifted like that.
Did u weld the cups to the frame of the car.
In the rear yes they’re basically just tacked not burned in all the way around
I love it it's sick
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Where y’all get the dropped ball joints in the front
they came with our kit
can you fit a link in here for the SkyJacker Links?
skyjacker.com/shop/sway-bar-link/c966sbl-sway-bar-end-link-pair-gm-ram/
How much would a build like thos cost through you guys i have a vic and i was thinking of driving to you guys to get it lifted and a few other things
Lift, installed with alignment is around $2500-3000. Give us a call to discuss further! 717-308-1844
@MountZionOffroad That includes the lift kit also for pricing?
Can you do a similar lift for a 1993 Taurus wagon?
If someone makes a lift kit for it, I'm sure we could make that happen! We don't make custom lift kits though
I have mines done
That looks very good I have a1999 crown Vic how much is a job like that
Thanks! We'd be happy to quote yours by phone or email 717-308-1844 or info@mountzionoffroad
my Jeep Wagoneer has a Track Bar
Do you know someone near Chicago who does lift kits? I need a 3" kit installed on my 2011 cv, an UBER car. There are SO many speed bumps on Chicago streets!
Sorry, we don't know any shops to recommend in Chicago
I have a 2007 Crown Vic police interceptor I want to lift it I think that was rad 6in is perfect that's what she said
hell yeah I would do that too 😎
I want mine 99 done like that
I have the same car and have been looking for those type of factory rims.. I would love to have them or trade a all black pair for them.
You’re looking for the police package steel wheels?
@@MountZionOffroad looking for the rims that came on the car like in the video. The rims you took off at the beginning. Don't know what they're called.
Bad ass
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Does this work for newer model 03-11
Lift-a-brand only offers a 3" for those cars
that alignment gonna be a pain lmao
Can't lie, it wasn't the easiest!
What was the total price and candy you do it on a 05 Mercury
Ballpark should be around $3000 give us a call or email to discuss 717-308-1844 or info@mountzionoffroad.com
SUGGESTION: PLEASE BRING BACK THE CROWN VIC.!!!!! ICE POWER!!!!
I definitely would’ve gone with true track and maybe 411
Good input! Depends a lot on how and where you'll be using it. The owner is very happy with the TracLoc and 3.73
What were u welding ?
we welded the rear spring spacers in
How much did the lift kit cost?
The link for the lift kit is in the description!
How much would you charge a customer to have this done?
Noticed no safety glasses at one point
Good eye 😉
Aaron Kaufman vibes from..well Aaron. The voice, expertise, demeanor...ect.
David says he’s honored haha
In reference to the watts link, that is a performance car thing I don’t know when Ford put it on the crown Vic, but that was added to support the police package. It is on all crown, VICS, grand marquise, and Lincoln town, cars and drastically improve the performance cause the axle cannot move side to side, so is it just a car thing? No, it is a performance car thing
Good info, thanks!
What year did they add that? Ive got a 89 LTD
How much would that cost?
Give us a call or shoot us an email we can price it all out for you
I want kit lift 4 in how much
It should be about $1500-1800 for the lift kit, shocks and install. A 4" kit is coil spring spacers, longer shocks, and you would need alignment
How much did it cost to lift the car ?
The lift kit costs around $1400 with the few parts we added (discussed in the video), install is approximately 10 hours of labor @$130/hr currently, and alignment at $200. Wheels and tires will of course vary depending on your choice, and the owner chose to re-gear and add the Trac Loc so that was additional.
Lift kit - $1400
Labor - $130x10=$1300
Alignment - $200
8.8 Trac-Lok 28 Spline - $379.95 || 8.8 Trac-Lok 31 Spline - $309.99 || Detroit True Trac Limited Slip - $639.95 || (Pick one)
3.73 Gear Set - $195.95
Wheels and Tires - probably like $1500
I've been told by 3 shops roughly $1000 to have a locker put in, but I'm in Canada and from what i've heard the US do car mods for a lot less.
Ballpark $5000 to $6000.
@@SKATETOSLAYER 😂 in my city 100$ will get u lifted
How much would this cost for y'all to do this to my car?
Depends on some variables, such as the year of your car, size wheel/tire you want to run, etc. We'd be happy to provide a specific quote over the phone or by email! mountzionoffroad.com/contact
Wondering when someone will stumble on a affordable 4x4 solution for crown vics. Seeing all lift CV but only a handful of trail videos is disappointing. Has to be something done about it.
It looks like it really wouldn’t be that complicated to do a solid axle swap! But would require a lot of fabrication for sure
@@MountZionOffroad turning a CV rear into a steer? Inner and outer C's from a dana 40?
@@bladenrexroth2555 Rear axle is an 8.8 - a good stout axle but why reinvent the wheel. Just swap in a 44 front steer axle from a Jeep or get an aftermarket housing from Currie, Dynatrac, Fusion etc.
@@MountZionOffroad Maybe the IFS from a late 90's early 00's explorer? Straight axle would be the easiest and most reliable.
Be cool to see a full kit offered. T case cross member, front and rear spring kit. Be cool to see 4-6 inches of lift just off of a new kit alone. No pucks. Like a Raptor Kit solely for the panther platform.
is possible in a Chevy Camaro?
There's likely a kit out there for it, depends on which generation Camaro you're looking for
WOWWWW CROWN VICTORIA IS VERY VERY AWESOME AND AMAZINGLY, I LIKE THE TIRES BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THE RIMS, OTHER THAN THAT, CROWN VICTORIA IS VERY AWESOME
السيارة نظيفة 😭
lol I will never understand why people want to lift Crown Vics or other cars for that matter. Jeeps, Trucks, SUV's sure I get that but this is just goofy looking to me. All that work for a tire that almost fits on a Crown Vic with no lift. I have a Crown Vic with 255/70/R16's on the rear and stock on the front since I like staggered stances and rake, no problems with fitment. But yeah front probably wouldn't work with that size. Fun to watch the process though!
Definitely understand your position! For us it's just cool to see something outside the norm. Glad you enjoyed the build process!
To go more places than you can in a stock car. As for a Vic, there's not much different than an F-150. Same engine, trans, and rear axle. Lots of 2wd F150 builds.
@@kylesonsalla7620 I agree, being able to go off-roading and more adventurous places would be cool, but it still looks off-putting in a Crown Vic lol, that is just my opinion though. Also pretty cool that they did in fact did share a lot of the same components at one time. I believe it was around 2011 Ford stopped using 4.6L's and 5.4L's in the F150's, just like it was the last year for the Panther Platform.
@@SKATETOSLAYER
The 4.6, 4R70w/4R75w, and 8.8 are also used in New Edge Mustangs, explorers, E series vans, etc. Pretty crazy what all they used basically the same drivetrain in.
Waaaaay too much trouble. Better ways to get 6" on Crown Vic lift.
Care to share?
@@MountZionOffroad Just put on the 3" kit they offer and then do a body lift. There are other videos on YT to show this.
Keep the dude with the beard. The MC needs to work on his hand movements. You come off a bit creeper gunna attack the camera. RELAX DUDE
Thanks for your honest feedback.
These cars aren’t dinks even tho they have big wheels a donk is a 71-76 impala an caprice they are already a donk the day they were made
