i have a 1959 ford fairlane 500. all i am wanting to do is raise and lower it but i am worried about the frame and i have been told the hydros could twist the frame. any sugestions  

If all u want to do is raise and lower the car then really u could go either way. Hydros will mess up da frame a lil bit faster but not by much. Wut i would suggest is setting up a 1 or 2 hydrualic pump system wit 2 to 4 batteries and front, back, side to side and pancake switches. If u do that then u'll have hydros as opposed to air bags, (which i greatly favor), and u'll have a fun ride which i'll last u many many years to come... Another thing u could do along with the hydros is re-inforce the frame of ur car which would allow u to get a lil more crazy wit da switches without having to worry about twisting or tweaking out da frame.  

well i am not wanting to get crazy with it just don't wanna mess up the frame. and charging is a bit of a pain but the hydros would you be better in the long run or bags    

in the long run bags will preserve the car better and longer than hydros. if all u want is up and down then get some bags put in so da car won't get beat up nearly as much. wut kinda ride u hooking up anyways?  

i have a 1959 galaxie sedan right now its tanish pink and maroon inside white top i am repainting it  

F'in newbies.. Hydro would be just fine.. they both have there advntages. A bag pop you are screwed. At least you can ride on springs if need be... It all come down to the install. $ batts will not tear up anything. a hydro pum canlift a car at 24 volts and your batt will last a long time . Or you could speed it up running all 4 to one bank 48 volts. but thats your basic set-up. I have a dailey. Like I said it ALL depends on your install..  

f'in newbes thats right why in the hell do you thinki am asking its something i don't wanna screw up. but what would be the advantage of of the bagscause thats all i really know about that and i am not that kein on pumps because i have seen what they can do to a frame    

F'in newbies.. ok buddy. Obviously u've never had a lowrider b4. Believe me when i say this, hydros are much harder on a car than airbags. For one with air bags a car rides smooth like it does wit regular suspension as opposed to the stiff bouncyness u get with hydros. Then for another reason hydros take the car up much faster than airbags which tweaks it out faster because incase u didn't kno, cars aren't ment to be going up and down on command. My bros have been lowridin since da early 80's and they taught me everything there is to kno, and they taught me well. I've seen cars snap in half wit hydros. Do i prefer air bags over hydros, hell no. Do i think wit air bags u don't have a worry in da world, hell no either. There's always a risk, all depends on how great of a risk u wanna take... A busted hose is just as bad as having a poped air bag....  

hey loco thank you for the advice man you really helped me out on what i wanna do. thanks man  

hey would you know what kind of system i would need. like would it be a 4 path or a 2 path air system just for front and back  

HAHA that ese loco guy thinks fundi doesnt know what he's talking about!  

so then you got a better idea  

go get some vasaline and put a bag up your rump...






Okay but seriouse. Bags are easier on the vec. But when they pop you are screwed. Dro's are faster and at least you can drive home on springs. And FYI I have both sitting in my garage.. I love my juice tho..
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  

i had bags on my mitsubishi mighty max when i was 17. i did it myself cheap and didnt have any problems. i never juiced anything and im sure i couldnt if i wanted to. my uncle never had problems with his (except for batteries always running low) but i know people whose *** caught on fire or control arme busted or something like that. i think either way if you get someone good to install it it will be reliable but expensive. so whatever you prefer  

yup both ways it depends on the install. you do shity work thats what you get. It's best to know how to work on your own *** too. that way you save a lot of money..
