I did not know that having a sagging back end was cause to be pulled over. I know that some areas do have restrictions on how far off the pavement a vehicle can be. So first lets look at why the vehicle is sagging. If there is nothing in the trunk or back of the vehicle to weigh it down, and you have not modified it (like cutting the springs or used a lowering kit) then there is probably a problem with the suspension.

If your 2000 Ford Crown Victoria uses rear air shocks, that could be the problem. I had a vehicle with rear air shocks that leaked and the rear end would sag. After replacing them with regular shocks the problem was solved. I recommend having the vehicle looked over by a trusted mechanic and getting fixed anything that needs it.

Suspension enhancement cannot be used on suspension that is in need of repair or replacement parts. The suspension needs to be in good working order first. If you do that and it fixes the problem but you still want suspension enhancement, I have included a link to the available options for you.
