I just installed them in the front of the truck, and i put my cab on and my motor is in, and im not exactly sure what psi is coming in, its straight from a shop air compressor, but it will not lift my truck. Is my truck to heavy for a application? Its only a tacoma. Am i not running enough psi? What psi can they hold? On the site it says they can hold high psi but doesnt exactly say what psi. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

not really sure why you would run these on a truck, but i've seen them take upwards of 175psi just to lift the rear of a small car...

I had the 3.25x4 EAI cylinders in my accord and I needed at least 150 to make the front end come up but it wouldnt lock up. I needed at least 170-175 to raise it completely up and I doubt your shop compressor will run that high. Thats why I had to run 200psi in my tank. Hope this helps.

Theres no gauge on your shop compressor?

air cylinders "wont" lift the front of your truck.. youll need appx 500 psi to get it to move

it took 200 psi to get the front of my avenger in the air. Id say its gonna take a lot more than that in a truck

Thanks guys for the help, Ya i do have a gauge, it only pushes 130 psi. And why did i use cylinders? I wanted to be different than everyone, i see everyone running bags and not many guys run cylinders. I already have one bagged truck and i wanted to switch it up a bit and see if it could be done.
But does anyone know the max psi rating of the cylinders?

there's a reason why you don't see many cylinders on trucks...

good luck with the project though!

it depends on what kind of cylinders you got. Some are good for 250 and some are good for like 400
