Ok this is crazy and may not work but It is almost midnight and my brain is ticking sitting here at work bah lol
Any who ok,
Hard line fitted with not fluid or air but steel ball bearings the same size as the ID of the line back to back and a special made hydro ram front and rear. (no need for seals )
Nothing to wear out simply inject the hard line with grease
And make a bag to ram setup in the bed.
I will work on a drawing and more details in the morning.
We use a setup almost like this at work but different.
also you can use hydro line.. I think. Need to make sure.
haha so its like when you air up the pressure pushes the bearings in the line which then push on a rod to lift the truck up thats a pretty cool idea find some strong clear tubing and make one just so everyone can see whats going on
they had a setup like this kindof in one of the mag's, the bags were used to compress hydraulic fluid that lifted and dropped the cylinders on there wheels, if thats what ur talking about anyways

Any bend in the tube is going to deform the tube some. only way around that would be to use a ball smaller than the tube, which will rattle, multiply that by how ever many balls you have in the tube and Im sure it won't be quiet.
on the other hand, you could make a setup where there is a small cantilever over the axle, attached to the frame, then run a gnarly cable in a casing (like the parking brake cable) to where ever you want your bags. of course it would have to be a big cable to carry the weight.

So when you get water in the engine it ****s up your rods and pistons because it cant be compressed
Technically speaking, water can be compressed, but very little even at high pressures. For
practical design purposes, water is considered an incompressible fluid, that is, its density
does not change with pressure.
so whats the point of the steel balls? Why not just run 2 hydro cylinders and a hydro line between the 2? the front cylinder would lift the suspension, the 2nd would be in the bed with a bag pushing it..

ummmm....the strenth of the tubing that these balls are running through is going to have to be astronomical to keep from breaking under the weight of a truck. Think about this... when you try to balance a ball on top of another ball, what happens? The ball falls off. Say you have 2 balls both sitting on a flat surface (a table). You push the one into the other and attempt to make them move in a straight line. What do they do? They move every way but straight because there are no constant/flat surfaces on a sphere to give you any kind of garaunteed direction. Now take that same scenario, but put these balls in a tube. The only thing thats going to make the balls go in the direction you want them to go in is the tubing. You're going to have the entire weight of the truck trying to make the balls shoot out in every other direction, so the tubing will have to have a wall strength that can hold the weight of the truck, else there will be so much internal stress on the inside walls of the tubing that as soon as you apply pressure to the balls via the airbag the tubing will have a wall failure and blow out. The only kind of tubing I can see able to hold those kinds of pressures is a 1/2" thick walled gas line tubing or something and even then i wouldn't want to put that on a truck i'd drive....
