86 Lincoln town car, Porkys 21 switch all the way around the works. They were to much hassle. I got tired of the maintnance.

it might have been the install.i have no problems what so ever.only thing i do is charge my batterys on like a thursday and ride all weekend.like i said whoever installed them didn't know what they were doing seems like.i did mine myself and love it

I don't have hydros because it would be stupid on a 4Runner

and to me it's a waste of money. I'd rather spend the money on gold plated dogshit

Honestly. You work a car frame up. Dont paint it first //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif and thats an awesome car man, good luck on it.

lol lamont, i would have invested into some paint and body work first before hydraulics //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

It's obvious you've never worked on a car. You do NOT paint the car prior to suspension or anything else for that matter. Paint is definitely THEY LAST THING. Now, wouldn't it **** to have a compressed coil pop and splinter all over your nice new paintjob?

yah? why is catipillar (sp?) still using them in their huge work rigs, why is it still the number one form of pressurizing large machines, and making them work? Hydraulics are not long gone, the scene is growing day by day, and the new comers are making sicker rides than anyone ever has.

well, it didnt have floors at one point lol, so yes. its a classic, they all rust eventually. its now a fairly solid car through and through. body is straight as hell to be a 62. thats just diff color primers haha.

yeah, if you run nitrogen and have some nice air lines, you can jump pretty high and fast

Not even close to hydraulics, fellas. The fluid in a hydraulic line can get up in the 1000+psi range... FAR higher than compressed air. Hence why you don't see too many air hoppers. PLUS, It's a ***** to pull a standing three with airbags...

Hydaulics ride better than air (when used with accumulators...), they are powered by STATIC fluid... meaning you don't LOSE the air everytime, and have to run a loud *** (and sometimes a large electrical strain on your car) compressor, Hydraulics have their own source of power, aside from your vehicles battery.

If push came to shove, hydraulics also sit lower when 'layed out' then MOST non-bodydropped trucks/cars. And 9 times out of ten, get higher.

So, how many of you actually HAVE air ride... much less installed it, or maintained it. They both have about the same maintainence...

DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, ONLY DO IT ONCE! Hah.

a guy that i know does hydraulics. with his hopper on the national level he hasnt been beat in 3 years. its an old monte carlo that does like 60 somethin hops at a ridiculoud height. he frequently has cars that he did in low rider mag. a few months ago one of the was the centerfold.
