Hydraulic parts vendor list

Edited: 11/17/2010 10:33:23 AM by Sal

I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of info for the different hydraulics companies out there. From both past and present, I know there have been quite a few. I'll start out with what I'm familiar with:

Hydroholics - http://hydroholics.net/index.htmlProhopper - http://www.prohopper.com/CCE (Cool Cars) - http://www.coolcars.org/cce/index.htmHi-Lo - http://www.hi-low.net/Pitbull - http://www.pitbullhydraulics.com/Red'sPorky's

I'll edit the list if anyone has anything to add.

hydroholics is all you need

I'm not denying that. However, this thread isn't about a matter of opinion. It's handy to have a list of places to find obscure or replacement parts for a setup someone may already have. I also would like to show what companies have been around over the years and are still around today (if they have a website).

this thread should only have feedback to people that actually have used hydraulics. ive messed with them for 20 years almost....to me cce will always be on top. you should add hijacker also which has branched off to there own thing. hijacker as far as i know is the only pump made using half inch port all way thrugh the block. some blocks start as 1/2 but end up 3/8ths. i got 4 cce fatboys they have a 2 inch block and i never looked at them close but they start as 1/2 inch port. i know it has no problem bouncing my car 4 feet off the ground. which ill never do again. ive had reds prohopper. cce reds being first kit.....

www.blackmagichydraulics.com if your building a lowrider if not hydroholics.

cce is ok, from what i read they have crap cylinders, threads all over layitlow.com about them. but they use good fitting where i know prohoppers you should just scrap them before you use them.

this is all the companys i have delt with so i have no opinion on the others

In CCE's defense, they USED to have problems with their cylinders. From I understand they now make their own cylinders which are much better than the chinese ones they were selling for a while. Also they used to leak from their pressed on caps, but those days are over too. The only complaint I have with CCE's cylinders these days is they only have 2 seals, but other than that they are fine.

Good people over there at Black Magic!

XTREME HYDRAULICS ARE PRETTY GOOD BOUGHT A FEW PARTS NOT BAD

Of course I will say Hydroholics first and foremost, but if you just don't want to buy from them go to black magic hydraulics.

I have been juicing cars and trucks since my first Isuzu Pup in 1997. I have used most of the bigger companies. Some carry and build some really nice stuff... However, the reason that Hydroholics is around is because Aaron, Derek, and myself always had to buy different parts from different suppliers to get the best parts all together in one car. Fittings came from one place, pumps came from another place, ect. Also, customer service isn't the greatest at some of the other places. Aaron works a full time job and doesn't list his phone number because of this, but somehow he still provides better service than the big companies. I do my best to help him out when it comes to answering questions as well.

I have bought from Hydroholics, Pro Hopper, and Black Magic. No problems from any of them but Hydroholics customer service is way beyond the others.

The hardest thing for me to find is a good supplier of stainless fittings that aren't overpriced. The damn fittings/tubing seem like half the cost of a whole system.
