Okay, looking at putting 3" cylinders on the front of my 95 v6 camaro. I can make the brackets and stuff, but I was wondering about the specs on them. I know they travel 5 inches, and what they compress to. My question is, what are weight limitations on the 3" cylinders versus 4" cylinders. I'm trying to find out which is best to use. It's not as heavy as a v8 would be, and it's actually not much more heavier than any other v6 car out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was going to run Re-6's on the front, but I can't get brackets made for em.

Here are some pictures of the stock setup on my car.

if u can do 4s in the frotn go for it less psi to get up and they ride better

Yeah, i've been told to use either one by 2 different people. i'm probably going to get a 200 psi pressure switch and a bigger compressor cause i'm running 150 psi and a 450 compressor. I've got re-6's on the back right now.

Use a 4 in. cylinder, the 3.5 in. cylinders needed like 160 psi to lift my civic up to full lock, but the 4 in. only took about 120 psi and rode much better.

I hope I'm not one of those 2 people. I said 4" if you HAD to use a cylinder.--

okay, so if I use 4 in. cylinders...what's the best way to get the car completely grounded on the front using them. (If it doesn't do it after they are installed normally.) Like...what could I cut or fab up to get it lay'd out.

raise towers thats pretty much it

get sum 4x4s so there shorter and lay out more and they would ruffly give u around 5-6 inches of lift

so as far as raising the towers. What would be the best way to do that?
