Is anyone using these to raise the height of the suspension to clear road/garage obstructions or any other system. The car is being built at the moment (engine mock up just finishing waste gates routing) but may have a problem getting out of the garage with std ride height
No,Too much junk associated with this type of lift system, air compressor, reservoir etc.
Hydraulic systems are available and weigh less:
These "ramlift" are available your side of the pond, not too sure about after sales service though.
they wouldn't sell me replacement lifters for some that were crash damaged, they would only sell the whole kit!

These are supposedly quality items and are found standard fitting on some exotics,
Deep pockets required though

OR you could put a light weight air bottle in the nose of the car with no compressor and use the pressurized air until it ran out. Think about it, how often on a single trip from home will you use the system? just put a refill fitting hidden in the radiator air inlet area somewhere and recharge it when you get home, I bet a single cylinder of air would raise the nose 5 or 6 times at least. Just a thought. Lee

some good ideas there, I aim to go touring with the car when finished so i think a powered system is the way for me but great idea for the air recharge cylinder, hadn't even thought of that many thank for the replys

Whilst touring you will visit plenty of filling stations where you can also top up your air.Tim

I used a kit form a company called RideTech, I can raise and lower front on demand. Raise 3 inches. Only has a small on demand pump, 1 gauge with a needle for each side in gauge. works great.

Clears front Uppers if mounted upside down.
I've been driving for about 1200 miles with no issue.

thanks for the information, what specification have you chosen for the install and do you think that they would also fit the rear. http://www.ridetech.com/store/shockwaves/

How do these type of shocks compare with a good "normal" shock such as nitron etc?
It is a normal type shock but underneath an air spring. They seem to offer a range of adjustability and they seem to work with FOX Racing Shocks so I would hope they work well. Real question I guess is how an air spring differs in behaviour to a traditional coil spring. is pretty good for a pair of single adjustables and the air springs. Plus the other gubbins as well I guess... I am off to the States again soon as well I used the TQ series.
I feel when set to soft it ride better then my daily driver (GMC Denali).
I have them only in the front as there is plenty of clearance in the rear.
I mounted the assembly upside down and it clears the upper arm on full droop and compression.
steering linkage does not hit at any angle. Only mod ification was to upper and lower shock mounts, just a little clearance.

How do you activate to rise and then return to same level? I think the answers may be obvious but there is nothing like having it spelt out for you.
I have an interest in this as I have had a lifter system on my check list for a while now.
