I've been guilty of browsing classifieds in the past and wind up with yet another project I wasnt even looking for...

I'm not grounded or anything, but I'm currently not allowed to peruse classifieds in any category other than parts😁

06-11 FORD PANTHER 3″ TO 10″ CAR LIFT KIT FOR CROWN VIC, MARQUIS, TOWN CAR
Link: https://www.universalcarlifts.com/product/06-11-fo...mp;yr=2010
Lift Kit Size
10"
Bushings / Ball Joints
Installed In Kit
Panhard / Track Bars
2 Panhard Bars
$2,609.00

Information:
3″ to 10″ complete suspension kit for 2006-2011 Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town car. This kit installs under your factory coil springs to lift your Car 3 to 10 inches! Clear 22 inch up to 28 inch rims and tires with this kit (measure to be sure).
Complete kit for 06-11 Vic, Marquis and Town Car
Comes with custom strut lift spacer brackets, extended front and rear control arms, panhard bar, extended rear shocks, installation manual and full install DVD. This kit includes control arms for the front of the car to eliminate the negative camber (where the wheel tilts inwards towards the top) that is caused when lifting a car. Also included are the rear adjustable trailing arms to keep the wheel centered in the wheel well and drive shaft angle correct. The panhard bar keeps your axle centered side to side. Adjustable arms will keep your tires from wearing excessively on the inside and will keep your alignment on straight.
Demand the highest quality parts for your Vic project
UCL parts are built out of rugged over-sized steel of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Parts have a durable black powder coat finish and lifetime warranty. 8″ Kit also includes universal body lift kit. 10″ kit adds a body lift and threaded adjustable coil-over front struts, which will allow you to get a few extra inches out of the front suspension. Remember to add the bushings and ball joints! Most shops and customers agree that the installation time and stress levels are greatly reduced when you have us INSTALL the Bushings. Simply select the option that says “Installed In Kit”.
Special notes about this kit
Note: this kit comes standard with 1 panhard bar- if you have a police edition, taxi, towing package, Grand Marquis or Town Car you may need an extra bar, be sure to select the correct option below.
ABOUT OUR OPTIONS:
• “Not Included” = You will need to get your own bushings and ball joints from a part store.
• “Included In Kit” = The kit will come with the bushings and ball joints. You will need to install the bushings and ball joints with a press.
• “Installed In Kit” = The kit will come with the bushings and ball joints INSTALLED!! Customers agree this is the best option.
• “Panhard / Track Bars” = Either 1 panhard bar or 2 panhard bars, depending on how many your car has.

Umm... that lift kit is for “Donk” status, not for any sort of off-road abilities.

you could bolt the Crown Vic body to a 4wd truck chassis and have a real off road machine!
