Can confirm. I've just completed this upgrade on my 95 crown Vic. It works great! Light trailer towing, heavy groceries or extra passengers are no longer a problem. Thanks for the recommendation! Great vid!

Looks like a challenge when you do it on the ground. Those shocks looked hard. Your video is great. Thanks for showing us.

@@JackofAllMasterofNone Question - Would installing springs from an F150 pick up raise the car higher? Thanks again

Nice video and thanks for the shock removal tip never thought of that thanks again.

Thanks for making this video, I'm going to be doing exactly this on my wife's crown vic today

Thanks, I plan to change my shocks on my 2001 Grand marque. Might do the springs too!

I cut an access hole in the trunk for each shock then covered them up with metal tape.

I thought about it but wasn't sure exactly where to cut and didn't want to destroy stuff.

Hey I know its been a couple years but I was wondering couldn't you just stick a wrench on the top nut and then spin the upper casing of the shock from below maybe even by hand? I mean the stud is attached to that top outer shell portion of the shock right? I know you couldn't spin the shock from the bottom but isn't the whole top half one piece?

Tape the insulators on. I air Bag my 2000 GM as the sway bar rubbed on the Explorer IRS cover drain bolt when fully loaded. Soft or firm ride with air adjustment.

The heavy duty coil springs have been discontinued where can i find a direct replacement?

I’m going to do watts link have you a video on that ?

Thanks for this video. I'm interested in knowing more about that new dual exhaust. Did that car have factory duals or did you upgrade from single?

@JackofAllMasterofNone

Upgraded from single to dual using Walker components.

Very helpful thank you

Would it be worth doing the fronts as well?

Those will fit my 05 Grand marquis too right?

How many tons are your jack stands rated for?

I assume i can do this to my 2005 vic? I do a lot of city driving and recently it's become super bouncy I mean like wtf stop. Think my shocks may have broken off lol I get like a 6 time bounce when on the highway it is annoying

I have a 2000 Lincoln Town car, with the springs in the rear brginning to sag. Do you have any idea if the springs from the 2003 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor would be compatible with my vehicle? I am hoping that they may be compatible, because I was planning to have the coils replaced soon, and this would be a nice upgrade.

The springs are but the shocks are not. In 2006, they completely redesigned the suspension front and rear. Outboard shocks and a much better ride.
