Multiple batteries, pumps, fluid, and possibly lines breaking and fluid leaking everywhere. Air bags = compressor and noise, lines and bags can bust, but no fluid leakage. Also, alot of bags have warranties if they ever bust.

 

Where exactly could it leak from? The lines themselves or wherever all the components are mounted?

What's the possibilities of that since the vehicle would be daily driven?

 

i just like the sounds it makes

 

damn hydraulics are pimp. trade for bags? lol

 

Sounds like a transformer, lol. I kinda like the way bags sounds a bit more, but hydraulics are a bit more unique considering it's not your typical vehicle you'd put it on.

Vivek, sell the bags and go hydraulics.

 

go for it

 

Levon, I have seen and been around many of each setups. As long as you have a competent installer who uses good parts your system will be fine. Its the same with bags you you good stuff and you will have less chances of failure.

 

I had hydraulics on one of my previous cars and oil leaks are bound to happen around the fittings sooner or later. Also, the ride quality was crap too but that was because of the springs I was running.

 

you dont want juice. its heavy. dont know where you heard it was lighter. because thats bs. components are heavy. and it requires batteries. which are also pretty heavy. and the ride is VERY rough. i know i know. your ride isnt the smoothest thing right now with your setup. but im talking ROUGH. like back hurting on long drives rough. i suggest you do bags if you want that kind of adjustability.

 

oh and just a heads up.

bags ARE legal on the street as long as you are not hitting switches while in motion.

juice is NOT legal on the street in any circumstances. most cops dont give a **** but if one wants to be an ***. he can and will red flag your car and you wont be able to drive it until the juice was takin off.

 

My ride right now is actually quite smooth. People find it hard to believe but it really is a nice ride.

As for juice being illegal even when not hitting the switch, why is that?

I'll be getting a test drive with a juiced ride in a month or so and I'll make a better judgement call from there.

Looking at what the Hydroholics hit comes with already seems like a weight savings compared to air suspension. Pump is much smaller than the 5 gal tank that comes with Air Runner or UAS.

As for the oil leaks, how do those occur? How can you prevent it?

Seems like there's mixed opinions on it. Only huge downfall I see is that the oil has to be changed every 6 months. It seems like it could be a PITA but then again, it's only twice a year.

 

Levon I've had 2 vehicles with juice and they were nightmares.

too much upkeep and constant leaks.

and something else on the car manages to break...not worth it unless you trailer the car.

My S-10 was juiced and i wound up going back to bags because there was too much upkeep. I also had a 67 impala that was juiced and i never could keep it on the road

Bags are much more reliable over the long run.
