When going extremely low with a vehicle, adjustable suspension systems get the best results as you can raise them up for drivability. However, there is some debate on what type of system works best. Fans of traditional lowriders know that hydraulics can work effortlessly while truck enthusiasts claim that air ride is where it’s at. To help get a better understanding of each, we pit our personal ’00 Chevy S10 with air bagged suspension against a ’70 Monte Carlo that’s running a fully juiced system.
Our special guest, Saul Vargas has heavy roots on the lowrider scene and explains some of the differences between air versus hydros. This includes installation, cost, weight difference, maintenance and ride quality.
