Also with the Crown Vic with the police interceptor package. Bought as is are stock. The ones PDs get have to have an alteration sticker on them. Ford sells them as fleets to companys that alter them for police use. Added weight at different positions changes their dynamics completely. And each company uses different products, from galls to code 3 products. The suspension isn't altered for the increased load either. So some are heavier than others requiring a higher pressure to compensate for the differences made.

With my ride height, it only increased by less than half of the tires height as the pressure was increased. I measured the tires height on mine. On ecomoders I had to measure diameter on the ground before and after a 10 min or 10 mile (witch ever was second) ride for ford's warranty requirements.
