Hey all
my friend wants a car that can move up and down just like in the hydraulic contests, and my dad has two Kenworth air 'shocks' but when it gets full of air, it's pretty long and my friend wants something that would move the car up and down FAST. What could he do to fill it faster ?

a kenworth air bag would make his car go up and down slower he needs small bags with high pressure my dad has several trucks with air suspension and those bags would take too long to fill with a car sized compressor

use a scuba tank there like 3-5000 psi

Use a big ass air tank. Then a big air compressor. Get the biggest air lines you can get. Then it might hoop.

Tell him to go buy a truckin' magazine. They have tons of ads for air bags & equpiment. He can find everything he will need there & lot's can work on a car too. If he wants it to move fast why doesn't he use hydros? They don't ride as nice but they would be easier & probably cheaper then a whole air bag system.

any custom car mag like street rodder will have those ads too.

For cars to hop like that they have hyrdraulic systems, not air. I'm pretty sure anyway...and I really doubt a semi air-bag would work, it'd be hell just trying to get it to fit, much less function the way you want.

Hydrallic's are illegal in many states though... :rolleyes:
