Thanks for the detailed information, the best video I’ve seen this far especially considering everyone else claiming they did this and did that. Straight simple and easy, thanks again.
I JUST got done with my 03 putting 6s on. Like literally just sat it down on them for the first time. Now its time for trimming and final adjustments then alignment. New video coming soon
Ima young dude who just got his 1st car as a crown vic '97 , i just took all this as you talking to me fr bout my shit , appreciate ya for the knowledge
Yea that's what I'm hearing. I going 8s in the summer on my other one and want to get the right lift for it. What year truck you need to get them off of??
Thanks my guy. Before I bolted up I spent alot of time researching on what to do but still couldn't find a good in depth video so I made my own after I figured it out.
Preciate it. I went the "cheap and easy" route to lift using the knuckles and spring lifters. Been using this method on every car I put rims on and haven't had any problems. Just make sure you have them spaced out and aligned the correct way in the springs like the instructions say so the springs are lifted even for a better ride.
Preciate it. This was the cheap route to lift for 24s. Since you have an 02 the process is a lil different due to our front suspension being different. I am currently lifting my red one for 6s. I will make another video detailing what I did.
Bro lift cups the way to go I just got some 2 inch cups in the front and it ride straight factory and no cuttin no rubbing no nuttin u just gotta go with the right wheel for yo car fuck buying wheels off the street
I got the same model crown Vic that you do 2004 except mine is black but I was wondering if you knew the exact number to the offset to make it fit flush inside cuz mine poke too?
03 and up crown vics need high offset rims. Factory rims offset is 45. My rims is 30 offset so it pokes. The best way to get rims that have the right offset for 2003 and up vics is to buy them out the store. Most rims off the street and universal rims have low offset because most cars have low offset. That's why a lot of people try to find a 02 vic or down to bolt up because those models have a different front end with low offset and the rims sit inside the fender. Its up to you tho. I tried to really find some high offset rims but it ain't many out there. Once they go on they don't look that bad honestly unless you get the wrong bolt pattern and need adapters that push the rims out farther or get some cheap very low offset rims that poke out further too. Just make sure to get a good alignment when you bolt up since the rims are bigger, wider, and poke outside the fender so it ride in a straight line. Good Luck
Hard to find them off the street. Most sets of rims are universal. I was lucky to find some that was my exact bolt pattern non universal and the offset wasn't as far off so they don't poke out as far. Most universal rims poke out further than mine and even worse with adapters. Only way you can be sure you get the correct offset for 03+ Crown Vics is to buy rims out the store and that cost too much money for me.
i have a 2000 ford crown victoria p71. i have a set of 24s i didnt put on yet because i need to replace some suspension parts. i want to go ahead and prepare my car for the 24s but i have no clue where to start. please shoot me some advice. thanks in advance
Start with new springs and ball joints. If you have the budget, go further with sway bar links, rotors, and brakes. Of course get the parts needed for the lift if you going 4s.
For the front, I used AutoCraft Rear Twist In Spring Boosters...Google it and you will see and then look or ask for them at your part store. I think i got mine from O'Reilly..or Advance..maybe AutoZone lol. You probably better off just ordering them. Don't get the front twist in boosters because they are smaller. If you got a crown vic and want to use them, get the REAR twist in since our springs are big in the front. For the rear springs, I used the Autocraft 2 way Adjustable Spring Stabilizers. They can be used to lower or raise a car. Of course i used them to lift.
@Mr. Hewitt nice info bro…. I currently have a 07 taurus on 20s and I did do a lift with spacers in the rear mainly due to my music….but my 20s look big when I did the rear lift….I’m looking to get a vic for my next car where did you buy yours at? I do want a interceptor….How much should pay for a good one?
Depends on the year and condition. I paid 1600 for my 04 with 116k miles. Went and got it and drove it 2hrs back home from the police station. Just have to do your research and make sure you are getting a good one
@@mr.hewitt1321 fasho that’s what I’m looking for like a 04 and around that same price….definitely want to make sure I’m getting a good one…. I usually go on offer up, is it best to get them at a police impound? Also is yours a interceptor?
@@vernonjackson1792 Yep mines is an interceptor. Fast as shit strong as an Ox. All I had to do was change plugs and coils and she was running like new. I just recently changed the intake manifold. She is getting a makeover during the winter.
u dont have to do nothing they fit right on no need to cut at all for 24s but so it look good a 4 inch lift boom there u goo but dont use spacers an that bull shit f1.50 springs an shocks ur welcome
Yea. Before you put the rims on take them to the shop and make sure they are balanced and at proper PSI. After you put the rims on take it to the alignment shop and get an alignment. Car rides smooth no wobble. Spacers haven't moved since I've had them on
I had an 05 Grand Prix I bolted up in 2013. What I did for 22s was to to knock up/bend the strut plate at the bottom with a big hammer above where they will touch the wheels and put the spring lifters (not the twist in) all around. You can run 30 series tires and still have clearance. Once I tried to go up to 24's, I had to take it to a shop so they can do a strut lift. That's when they take out the struts, cut, lift, and weld them back and put them back on the car. Back then people was charging 5-600 for it. It may not be as much now but that's 2 ways to go about it. They may have struts you can buy that's already lifted. I haven't had a front wheel drive car since then. If knocking up the strut plate don't work, you might have to invest in the strut lift and in that case just get it lifted for 4s or 6s because once you get the 22s on they will look small after while and I guarantee you will want to upgrade to 4s. You can research how others put 22s on front wheel drive cars with struts but that's my advice. Good luck
@@Embracethadark4 I wouldn't know I never used them. I have another vic I'm putting together and I'm going atleast 6s or 8s for the spring. I am looking into using f150 shocks and springs for the lift I've heard and seen others do for bigger rims
Yeah you can use 255 30 26 but you going to have to cut in the rear behind the door but like dude said if it's a 2003 and below it'll tuck with no problem but you can check out my vidoe also ruclips.net/video/aQKLXxR5w70/видео.html check out my comments for more information 💯✅✊🏽
Been riding damn near a year ain't popped out. Been riding them on different cars since 03 never popped out. They twist only 1 time. If u twist again they pop out. They damn near dont twist again because the spring is sitting in the groove.
Not really. You can go 25 series tires and cut and be straight. Still will have to trim it all anyway if and when you go bigger. Just depends on what you want to do.
@@cartersgamingssg9307 Transmission will be good if it's already in good shape. I would suggest going 6s and start from there. I did the lift on my other vic for 6s. You can watch the videos on my page. I tell you everything I did and what you need.
Man I got 06 merk 275/25/24 lifted 3 inch all around. If you don't it's gonna rub up front. Gotta shave a lil . My rims are flush offset that poke out don't look right to me.
Thanks for the detailed information, the best video I’ve seen this far especially considering everyone else claiming they did this and did that. Straight simple and easy, thanks again.
No problem
Off the street is the way! I just got a clean ass set of 24 inch Diablo Morpheus for $400 and a brand new set of tires for 150!! The come up is real!!
05 Lincoln I got 22”now an a set of new 4’s I been waiting to put on that I brought 3yrs ago thanks for the info bro from NC homie
I just did that to my grand marquis 04. Sittn on 4s now. I used a portable pump to expand the springs. Super easy and fast wit that tool.

All you have to do is get truck shocks an springs that’s it 💪🏿‼️

Thanks my guy. Before I bolted up I spent alot of time researching on what to do but still couldn't find a good in depth video so I made my own after I figured it out.
Thanks Bro I appreciate you giving the game on lifting the crown vic. Really clear and to the point. I knew I could do it, just wasn't quite sure.

Just got one tryna get it together for the summer 2005 vic
Appreciate it fam. Just bolted up 💯
I didn't have to cut nun .I put f150 shocks & a 3 inch lift kit pucks in front & cups in back..wit universal 4's still got room for 6's..
Thats actually the lift you need for 6s so of course you wouldn't have to cut for 4s. Check my other video(s) of my other vic I put on 6s.
Ok bet.. I'll check it out..u got some nice whips fam
Clean build bro
I respect you and the video this was helpful for me. I have a 02 ford crown Vic

Do u got to cut for 22s
No
Would a 3 inch lift kit be to much for 24s? Not trying to have a lot of wheel gap.
Yea. You don't need much lift for 24s. Just may have to do some trimming
@@acedogcustoms5319 well the rims I’m gettin is directl fit, I was thin about going for 1/2 inch spacers so they’ll poke out a tad bit.

Will this work for 255 30 26
For 6s iono because my 4s are a snug fit. U might have to cut a little more and/or cut out the wheel wells for more clearance..
