MRC Hydroshox Opinions
Has anyone else seen the release of Mittler Bros Hydroshox? I have been waiting for a race inspired suspension design to run on big wheel frame laying trucks for years. I believe it has finally arrived.
I have never dealt with hydraulic parts, but have been using air suspension setups for years. Anyone else excited? Any concerns with someone running hydraulic fluid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg7sCC_fF7Q Last edited by abohler1; 03-14-2017 at 12:15 PM. Reason: add video |

Re: MRC Hydroshox Opinions
Diesel brothers put out a truck on hydroshox on TV. Looks very promising. Anyone else happen to see the show?

I saw part2 of that build but it didn't go into a lot of detail..it may have had more in part1...it looks expensive from what I saw

Re: MRC Hydroshox Opinions
I've had plenty of hydraulic experience, but in terms of lowriders, they are far from what I'd call a performance suspension. I've never seen these particular units in use, so maybe they built a better mouse trap?
Usually the issue with hydraulics is weight, leaks, and ultra high pressure. Its much easier to clean up a damaged air line than it is to clean up 5 gallons of jack oil.

Re: MRC Hydroshox Opinions
The technology is leap years ahead of 'traditional' hydraulic set-ups but I bet it comes @ a price.

Re: MRC Hydroshox Opinions
I've decided to make the leap. MRC is doing the front clip and nsane hotrodz doing the rest of the chassis. Will probably take some time since it will be an expensive project, but will keep everyone up to date.
front clip $5k all in hydroshox $5k complete kit |
