I remeber seeing a civic like this a while back in lowrider euro ... it was the 1st time i had ever seen this type of setup this was probably in the 90's...

Ah ok ... yeah it just looked alot like teh same setup that was in that car yrs ago

anyone else with this setup, looks interesting and something in the new ideal to do

3 years blast from the past!

The big issue that I can see is adding oil to a closed circut system like that. You are gonna lose a bit through the seals on the cylinders no matter what, this is going to make you lift less and less as time wears on. Most ppl will say that this scenario is not a big deal, how much oil will you lose, really? I agree with them, the big issue will come if you wipe out a cylinder seal and start dumping oil at a reasonable pace, now you've got a problem on your hands. I know that you can use a high quality cylinder to lessen the chance of having this happen we all know shit happens(especially to minitruckers, lol).   Anyone with a car considering this type of a setup should look at the gear Hydroholics offers. The products all look great and have been proven to perform in the field. Sticking with one suspension actuation system will probably work out better in the end for most users. As an added bonus you eliminate a lot of the clutter asociated with the hybrid system.   My 2 cents anyways...

wow dude nice dually,  do you still that setup for sale? if so what you asking for it, and how much longer is that thing, i'm wanting to do this on a 67 datsun "maybe" because i dont see no re7 bag fitting the front, now i could be wrong, but i dont see anything other than a 2500.. but anywho how to you real fuel the lines? just unhook and dump it in? or you have a valve setup on it or what? and how muchhhh, or atleast some more pics, i could make one but why make when you can buy..

   THANKS! I do still have it, It is still for sale. You can call me and i can tell you all about it. 765 894 1764. Theres a video of it on my main page to.

I've done a hybrid setup before and it was nothing but problems and issues. I personally would stay away from it.
