installing hydros on a Mini

I got a 88 Yota that I wanted to Juice. but don't really know how to set up the cylinders. does anyone have any pics of trucks on Juice? or have any suggestions on how to set them up would be great.

Here is my friend's Mazda build with juice on the below link. I am also partnered up starting a new line of hydraulics (hydroholics.net)...the website is in the works, but you can check out myspace.com/hydroholicsllc

How long before you have something worked out? I'll be lookin' for a setup to pick up in a few months. Let me know, please.

You could do juice over torsion, in the front and run springs in the rear like a coil over setup, maybe accord or civic springs would be soft enough.

Torsion bar front is a good way to go, but not the easiest install. Civic rear springs are ok, I guess. I just hate when the cylinder is up so high in the bed. If you want a simple and easy install, you can do it like mine (the one that the link brings you to), or very similar with relative ease. If you want to get more complex, I would run a cantilevered rear setup with a cylinder pushing one end, and a coilover shock connecting the other end to the axle. Then do the torsion front, or even another cantilever setup in the front. Although the aft suggestions will look and perform pretty good, nothing beats the ease of install and ride quality of accumulators.
Look for hydroholic products in the next couple of weeks. (Early Jan.)

wow, triple post, sorry

first off thanks for the helpful info. and a few questions. what do you guys mean when you say juice over torsion? I've seen some guys that put a heim joint on the cylinder for the rear. could I use a super pivot instead so I could do better 3 wheel or will the heim joints work just as good? also do they sell any cylinders that have thread on them already so you can just screw on a heim or super pivot on?
