Curious on what’s the difference between adding hydraulics and air ride to lowered truck? We were and even made a previous video to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of each system. In that video we had an airbagged truck to compare against a lowrider, which was an apples to oranges comparison.
This time around, Brian Hill had his ’89 OBS Chevy pickup running and ready for us to check out. His truck is to of the mark for show trucks that are on hydraulics and we talk to him in depth about the differences in these two systems. We even go for a ride along to get a feel for the ride quality of hydraulics and give our firsthand impressions.
