I assume the stroke is the total amount of lift.. 4.75"
How much?
What size thread?
Can they be used upfront? Weight limit?

From my understanding they don't ride as well as a "typical" air bag, and are more expencive, slower, and harder to install. I could be totally wrong.. just saying what i heard.

It isn't ideal to use cylinders on trucks, but they will work. Cylinders take a lot more pressure to raise because there isn't as much surface area for the air to push on unlike a big air spring.

But they aren't any slower than any bag setup, they just require more pressure to get the same speed, but once you get that pressure they can be pretty quick.

Just to give a ballpark, it takes my buddy 150 psi just to get his SATURN off of the ground on 4inch cylinders, imagine a pickup with 500lbs or so added weight in the front.

It isnt ideal for the front, but it works for the back on an over axle setup.

And yes they do ride a little rough, but nothing an accumulator can't fix.


But if you decide on cylinders, try to get a hold of SMC cylinders or Brislands
