Honestly, just do what you want, neither is BETTER(except hydraulics )

Like they've said, if you get good quality tripple seal cylinders, run accumulators, good pumps and dumps, parker fittings, good batteries and wiring, and a street charger. your hydraulics will ride awesome(possibly after tuning) and be very reliable.

With bags, it's much easier and cheaper to throw together a reliable setup.

From what I've heard, once you've tried a really good quality and well-engineered setup, you won't go back to bags.

If you don't know what your doing or try to take shortcuts - you'll hate juice and never try it again.

juice it.


i'll never go back. juice is more expensive, but it's VERY well worth it.

and on a looks note..

who wants to look at a big ass matte black air tank with brass fittings? shit's hidious.

it depends on what you want to do. if you want to go hopping around then juice it, if you're into racing, then go with bags becuase of the weight difference. also, if you go hydros you might want to reinforce the frame to prevent any damage from hopping. i went with bags becuase its fairly simple and i'm more interested in the weight than in actually hopping around. but its definately up to you, so good luck

juice man my setup is AMAZING i love it the only problems i have is my solenoids were junk but other than that hydros are the way to go take a look at my setup it rides like a caddy and i dont run accumulators

ive had bags and juice, and im going back with juice, with the right work done on the setup its just as good as bags and can ride better than bags, you can also get the street charger that will help so you dont have to charge your batteries, to me the only difference is air and fluid

From a value point of view, go with bags. If for some reason you ever want to sell it, good luck with the lowrider hydraulics! I have seen a few juice set ups that were nice and very reliable, but they have a bad name. People are a lot more open minded toward bags, but in the end it is your choice.

ive been doin juice installs for a long time , i love the consistantcy of the juice , and if its done correctly there wont be anything but maintance issues, changin seals aint much worse than changiin a burnt compressor or a blowwn bag and, ive got a couple cars that have been runnin juice for over 8 years and they drive them alot and love them , i willl say ive got a doored chevy on bags and everytime i hit it up i wsih i had gone to juice, im not to far out from changing it over , im tired of waiting for the psi to be just rite all the time, with juice and a streetcharger its almost never an issue for gettin it up, good luck with your choice, my opinion is juice!

seems like the only people really tellin you to go bags have never even owned a truck/car on juice. i say only listen to the people that have had both to get your real info.

i have had both and right now im on air and its just not the same, as bucher shop said, everytime a raise my truck i get a little sad. i got the truck at a good deal already bagged, if i was to do it from scratch there is no way i would go with air. yeah air you have a idea of where your at, but you get the feeling of the speed of your juice and you know where your at. i will say this, i have had my truck for i little over a month and i have been under it fixing leaks and shit way more then i was workin on my hydraulics on my old wagon, air leaks just as bad, just dosnt make a mess. if you do it right with the right parts the first time you will be glad you.

Mine is on bags right now but i am really considering trying juice. My truck is setup for 22/24 but i dont want to wait for the air to get above a 22. I know with hyros i will have no problem having to wait. So im REALLY considering it!!!
