Fo shizzle, always wanted to say that.

It's all about having the ACCUMULATOR.

That is a very important step in having juice that rides nice. then your ram is essentially a shock when in a static position. The juice has a sort of overflow tank to go to when you hit a bump. I have ridden in both accum and no accum back when I was into mini trux and there was a big dif. The accum rode about as well as my bags.

I find it pretty ignorant to make fun of hyrdos, especially when one has never been associated with them in anyway. Maybe if you have past experience then you can judge.

Sry everyone. I am not making fun of hydros. IMO , it's just the Lexus's in these videos that look just plain dumb! What benefit is there to make your Lexus hop? Or what would make someone want to make their Lexus Gs dance? Is that good for the car? Will this damage a car? I just don't see any good reason. I know , I know it's for competition ! Lol.

^yea. I see.

I can see an adj. Suspension(air or hydro) being used for real world driving such as: adj up for road conditions like speed bumps , driveways , & rain. Also at the shows you can lay the car out. And if a car can ride low an still maintain a good ride, I'm all for it (air or hydro). It's the hopping and dancing that is hurting eyeballs. Haha

not sure if you read a post i put up, but a lot of cars use(d) hydros for stock suspension and yea plenty of cars have adjustable suspension from factory like Vipers and Lincolns (self adjusting with speed change and/or weight) and of course Land Rovers with have a switch to raise up when 4x4ing and switch to lower for street driving (just to name a few)

I dont think he meant vipers or land rovers.. He was just saying that they have adjustable suspension...
