You mean stationary, or while driving?

If you're talking about driving, as soon as one front wheel comes up, you'll just be coasting. If you want to be able to pull the car with one front wheel, you'll need an LSD.

i mean while driving. i put extra valves in the rear so i can suck the rear wheel all the up "dogleg" i was woundering if i did one side and go around in circles if the front would leave the ground. i guess i'll have to try it. i think it can be done the rear tire is atleast 8" off the ground.

i have duel port air cylinders i hooked up the bottom port to a valve. basicaly when i hit down on my switch the wheel sucks up.
Quote:

u need 2 extra valves, and this is whut u do to the wheel u wanna suck up. take the extra 2 valves, and plumb them into the bottom port of the cylinder just like u would a normal can. Wire the DUMP valve of the bottom port to the FILL valve of the top port. Wire the FILL valve of the bottom port to the DUMP valve of the top port. That way when u hit the switch to lift the car up, all of the air will dump out of the bottom part, and fill the top, and when u dump it(or want to suck it up) it will fill the bottom part of the can(suckin it up) and release the air from the top. that way u wont break ne thing

god no! there duel port EAI cylinders. before i added the extra valves i was only about 3-4" off the ground. my fronts are duel port also but i think the weight of the motor will keep it down.

If you try and jurk the front up all your going to do is spin the crap out the tire trying to come up. It makes for very easy and smoky burnouts,


But as I found out last year doing that is about as stupid as you can get. Because I jacked up my tranny and it cost me about $1600.

So like said above. You would need an LSD. And stab some dead bodies in the trunk to help with weight transfer.



I am all that is man

man isnt that the truth.i havnt jacked the tranny up yet but it does leave some long smoky burnouts.the expression on ppls faces when you keep smoking the front tire 1000+ feet is priceless.
