Guys !!!

1. what is your opinion about them ?

2. has anyone installed them ?

3. does the installation takes up all the space of the trunk ?

4. Is it hard to install them ?

Unless your going lowrider with your ride and want to spend way more money and show off chrome tanks and metal hosing, you don't want Hydraulics. You will lose your trunk. Airrides are for the import scene and if your lacking space aircylinders, bumpier but don't pop like a bag. Just lock up and stick equally bad.

A couple years ago I had airbags. Braker, it looks like your into performance, why would you concider such a suspension?

Go with coilovers man, handling was 100 times better than airbags.

performance?

yes you gain 25hp with airbags and 22 with hydraulics

thats dyno proven hp

i thought about airride on my car then i decided against it

i still might put it on the truck though

if you want a quickly adjustible suspension go with airride it doesnt weigh a ton like hydraulics
doesnt need to be oiled all the time
and doesnt ruin your trunk when the batteries spill over
