I have wanted to try hydraulics on a project vehicle for a long time. Not sure if the Hydrohauic guys are still around but they had some classy setups on some nice vehicles.

I'd be curious to see just how well this thing actually rides going down the road.

new age hydraulics have a little canister that takes the excess pressure on teh suspension when you hit a bump and what not. From what I read, the ride should be similar if not better than air bags.

i admit that i dont know nearly enough about hydraulic suspension set ups to formulate an opinion on how it works. it looks awesome though. I have a feeling he may be onto something if it can hold pressure. Im so upset with my c10. the front bags leak so bad, and i have to rip it all back apart just to get to the fittings. it goes from 45 psi - laying frame in less than an hour.. not something i want to have to keep dealing with going down the road. I really wish i woulda saved up and done the c4 or c5 corvette suspension, had i known it was gonna take this long to finish it (blame baby).
