just run another fill and dump valve to the bottom of the cylinder and wire it up to a switch

yeah there is a whole at the bottom of the cylinder, attatch a line, blow air in it, and the tire will come off the ground. use whatever valve you want. ive used cheapo vlaves for it, as why waste money where you dont need to

With cans all you need is air pressure. Lift the whole car to max lift, then dump the front corner. It should dogleg a little. If you want it to lift high you have to run a suck up valve to the back corner.

yeah just run another dump and fill valve to the port in the bottom of your cylinder. air car up dump opposite front corner of car then the opposite back corner should dog leg a little, then hit your extra fill valve and it should suck the tire up.

thats how ive been told it works anyway!

Hell yeah,.....You guys made it sound extremly simple!Thanks.

The only thing that I'm not 100% about is, Are both valves always being used at the same time? Like, when one set of valves is filling up the clylinder, The other valve would have to dump (and vise-versa) to let the cylinder mover right?.........So what i'm getting at is,...Is there always pressure on both sides of the cylinder? and if so would it ride like shit? Thanks Guys!

Any one have any pics?....................."Lost Cause"

u have to dump the air out of the cylinder first before you try to suck it up so theres no resistance
