Lift

You can install adjustable air shocks to gradually lift the body to fit 17" wheels. This, of course, will require some work and knowledge. As a retired Sheriff Deputy, I can tell you that the Ford Crown Vic's Police Interceptors I drove conveyed lots of respect just the way they came from the factory, without that "tall, meal look" you want. Good luck with your project.

Universal makes a "Donk" kit for the GET-TOE look, but I believe these kits are not true suspension kits for "off road" or aggressive driving... I think Eibach makes a 2" or 3" suspension lift with coil springs and the right sized shocks.
