Hey Tim, whats up!   Anyway, as far as the crossmember smacking... well, it does sometimes.  If the person isn't very good at timing the switch, the car will smack the ground.  A person with good timing will hit it up while the car is about 1/2 way through the down travel, which will prevent the springs from ever compressing far enough to allow the frame to have any contact with the ground.   Most lowriders don't even hop their cars.  Myself, I cant help it.  I can pull my tires in the air about 24 inches on a good day.  Once I swap out my stock frame for my fully reinforced frame, I'll add bigger springs and more batteries, and should be hitting in the mid 40's.   Craziness, huh?  I get allot of hate from the hot rod shows around here.  I always here, "you ruined that car"   like the guy with the 18 point roll cage welded into his camaro, or the dude with the chopped top 50 merc, didn't ruin their cars, if that's how you look at it, lol.   oh well, hey if you want to know anything else about lowriders, hydraulics, or air suspension, just ask.   ttyl   Dan McIntosh 1963 Impala SS Convertible "HOP IT TILL IT BREAKS" Street Metal Fabrications http://www.lowriderimpala.com ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 8:41 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Dan McIntosh Hey Dan     Im not into the lowrider scene, but when they are hopping them, when it comes down, is it just hitting the ground? as in the crossmember just smacking the ground????   -Tim
