juice noob

ok im a total noob to juice but i know my way around air pritty good. so here inlays my question i want to learn as much as i can. i have a 1993 im in the muddle of deciding on juice or air i already have a dime on air so im leaning more to juice. the front of the 4runner is torsion bars and the rear is a 4 link with 2 coil springs. i am mainly looking to get as low as i can with out really molesting my floor since i still need to put shit in the back. what all do i need to beable to do a standing 3 and maybe hop a little. none of the crazy pro hopper shit thats 8 feet in the air tho. and how much am i looking to spend on juice. i also want to get as much lift as i can.

Re: juice noob

im not sure too much on pricing or never installed it on a car only a lowrider bike, but i know that you need at least 3 pumps with 4 dumps, and at least6 batts to 3 wheel and hop

Don't even consider hopping or three wheeling without major frame reinforcements. Not even a little bit. You could stand three with as litle as 1 pump, just add a bunch of dumps. Or, use a chain bridge and two rear pumps to power up onto three. You can get by with 4 batteries. As for cost, who's installing it? What setup are you gonna go with?

Re: juice noob

i did juice before...too much maintenance for me
once you figure it all out, it's not hard to hook up. if you are going to use it a lot, i'd recommend a streetcharger so you don't have to charge all the time

Re: juice noob

what parts are you talking about?
that setup you posted will work, you'll just need the link setup and brackets for the cylinders, and some accumulators if you want a softer ride.

Re: juice noob

it looks pricey, but trust me it's a must have on something you drive a lot

mine was a daily driver and my batteries NEVER gave me a single problem with that streetcharger hooked into them
