Do you mean the air jacks that are used to lift racing cars fast while in the pit?

There are several manufacturers out there, even D2 has got an air jack.
You will have to do some serious modifications to the car in order to fit them.

A quick Google taught me two things:

1) You can buy them here (http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?tpc=Genesis_Technologies_Air_Jack_System _Kit&form_prod_id=15,10_242&action=product):

2) they cost $3,000


There are other sites, as well. You may be able to save $50 or $100 :naughty:

i just think it would be really cool to be able to stop and just lift your car up plus think how easy it would be to change a tire

it would definitely be fun and useful, but is there ever a circumstance that you'll need them? You could get a really nice low profile jack and really nice jack stands for a LOT less.

Too much weight added to the vehicle for a minor convenience item. jmho

And a quick thumbing through back issues of Sport Compact Car shows you how to build your own for about $500... Assuming you have your own TIG welder,,

Yeah, good point Huey...

And this does not include the "Air Source", you would still need and external compressor with about (guess) 80-90 PSI...wouldn't you???

A small car compressor (12 volt) would not have the guts to lift a car....would it??:scratchhe

Most race cars dont carry thier own air source, but rather have a source back in the pits that is lined out to the car when they are changing things like tires and adding fuel
