lifted caprice 75 or 95

yea uhhhhh how much do u guyz think its gonna cost to put 28" or 27" on it

[G-man422]

prolly a lot. you have to buy the lift kits, the rims, the tires. the rims are prolly about $800 a piece for decent 28s. i would figure about 5-6K for a well done job, w/ decent parts.

IMO: Save your money, that will make it a clown car. Waste-o money.

use that money to get a groundpounding Fuel injected 383 in there I tend to not affilate myself with the group of people "idiots" who do that to caprices.

i completely agree, this is a serious car forum, not pimp my ride, no one here really cares about doing that kind of stuff, because we actually care how our car HANDLES and LOOKS, i have no respect for people who do that king of stuff to cars

I agree that this is not in my taste, but this thing is becoming more and more popular ( maybe because its so ubsurd? lol). Personally i would rather drop a nice engine in, but hey, to eaches own.

I agree with the above comments about not doing that to your car. Its taking a nice car and turning it into something that looks so stupid. If you really want those big of rims (why????) then get some sort of SUV of truck and put them on there. but if you must do that to the poor poor car then yes its going to run you at least 5k to do it. my on the topic.

heres a question:
how do you get in and out of lifted cars and trucks. i've seen trucks with 53" tires, and a 14"+ lift. it looks cool, but how do you get in when the bottom of the door is level with your shoulders???

kinda off topic, but its been bothering me for a while.

I remember seeing, years ago, a Ford Crown Vic (it was an '85 model, which made it an LTD Crown Vic) that someone had modified into a 4WD vehicle with a Chevrolet powertrain. It had almost a monster truck appearance, with large baloon tires and a lift equalling about 4 feet (!). The person who built this monstrosity had the forethought to add handrails and steps so the driver could get into the car/truck/thingy. I saw this at a Discount Tire Co. store. I do have to admit, it looked kinda cool.

when we go down to the beach in NC, every so often you will pass an off road store. i remember one such store had a lifted 80's caprice wagon on a trailer parked in front. it had lockers on the front axle so i assume it was 4wd. it had a moderate lift (not crazy like 4 ft!!!) and huge paddled sand tires on 18" wheels (really cool actually).
this is the ONLY way i would LIFT a caprice... to turn it into a sand monster.
