If you're looking to increase the ride height, your options are very limited and will involve significant modifications:
* Custom Fabrication: This is the most expensive and technically challenging option. You'd need to find a skilled fabricator who can custom design and build lift components, potentially including new suspension components, longer shocks, and modified or custom-made control arms. This is not a DIY project.
* Body Lift: A body lift involves raising the body of the car relative to the frame. This is generally easier than a suspension lift but can compromise the vehicle's structural integrity if not done correctly by a professional. It also often looks unnatural. This might be more readily feasible than a suspension lift, but still a significant undertaking.
* Larger Wheels and Tires (Limited Effect): While you can fit larger diameter wheels and tires, this will only offer a very minimal increase in ride height. The difference will be subtle, and you may need to modify or replace the fenders to accommodate them. This is the least impactful and easiest solution.
Before you pursue any of these options, strongly consider the implications:
* Handling and Stability: Lifting a Town Car will significantly alter its handling and stability, making it less safe and more prone to roll-overs.
* Ride Comfort: The ride will become much harsher. The suspension is not designed for increased ride height.
* Structural Integrity: Modifying the suspension or using a body lift could compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle.
* Cost: The cost of custom fabrication or even a professional body lift will likely outweigh the value of the vehicle.
In short, lifting a Lincoln Town Car is not a practical or recommended modification. If you're looking for a higher-riding vehicle, it's likely more sensible to sell your Town Car and purchase a vehicle already suited to your needs.
