96 Town Car

[C_Rox]

I just bought a 96 town car, & I am starting on the customizing...
It already has the stock air shocks. But i am wanting to be able to move the car around, Could one of your air kits be able to be hooked up to the factory air shocks???? If not, is there anything avalible for my car??

Probably not. The stock shock mounts are probably not strong enough to handle the weight of the vehicle.
Are you sure it has air shock and not air bags?

I am not 100% sure if it has air bags or air shocks... i do know it looks like a reg shock on the lower half, but the top half has an rubber bag around it.... It does have a compressor in the engine compartment, that inflates & delfates the shocks according to weight in the car..... I also had a 88 Continental, with stock air on it, & i could drop the car all the way down. or ride with it popped up in the fron & slammed in the rear, by messing around with the compressor & shut off switches.... But if it is not able to use the stock shocks, how much would a system run for that car, & is one avalible... I would get hydraulics but i dont want the bumpy ride, or taking up my complete truck, with they use of batterys & pumps..... However i would still like to be able to do front, back, side-2-side, & a pancake, & a lock up...... i heard the big red is an awesome system... i wouldnt want anything to be to pokey at the job......

Any help would be great...

Thanx,

The Big Red valves would work great but I' m not sure what to do with the suspension. It' s probably going to be a custom install. Maybe contact one of our dealers in your area.
That is a strut suspension right?

I am glad to know the Big Red valves would work.... Cuz like i said i dont want wouldnt want the system to be pokey... You guys are over on St. Charles street now... Right? maybe i will just swing by soon & we can take a look at it...

I am still looking for a picture of the front shocks/struts, what ever they maybe, i jsut tried to see the front one, & i couldnt see them very well, but they look a lot smaller than the rear, & they do have a coil over on them.... this is a link to a photo of the rear air bags... they are Firestone made

You might be able to use the rear bags, you will just have to tap them to accept a pipe thread. Also you might have a warning light to take care of when you change the pressure.
