    Air Jacks

    Does anyone have air jacks installed on their car? Esp you lowered guys. Has anyone ever gave thought to this? As usual, another one of my wild hair ideas.

    Air jacks? Are you referring to air suspension?

      Negative. Something along the lines of a built in jack system.

        Oh ok, so some pistons come out the bottom of the car, and elevate it enough so you can slide a regular jack, and jackstands under without doing the block of wood trick.

              Thats badass.


              I've used logs before. I used to 4x4 in Oregon a lot, we got pretty craft a few times. If you wedge(not suggesting for anyone to try this) a log into the ground and position it under the bumper, and then drive into it you can get the truck to stand up on the log. Its hard to do without tetering the log over the other direction, but it can be done.


              I have done this several times actually. After the new tire is on, just drive the other direction

                IMO, completely useless on anything but an endurance race car. unless you have a compressor and air tank in your car, you would need an external air source. I wouldnt trust them enough to get under the car either.

                  No. Air jacks such as what is found on the formula one cars. There are air jacks under the car that when you flip the switch, it'll lift the car so that they can change the tires.

                        Indy cars had them when I was watching races. They may still do.

                        What year is this photo taken? Is Bridgestone back in the F1 game? Oh, I'm so out dated, now.

                          I meant Indy. Indy and F1 are different.

                              See, that is one of reasons I lost interest watching F1 races.
                              Kamui is no longer racing F1 this year. There's no real presence of Japanese (companies) there any more.
