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

and yeah... i've only ever seen them on race cars.

@!!narotordo

Use a jack like NASCAR or wait they are not fast sorry could not help it

kevk

yup they were attached and sorry about my English does any one know where to get them?

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.

kevk

do you know of any sites that sell said jacks cuz i google d2 i get nothing

A quick Google taught me two things:

1) You can buy them here:

2) they cost $3,000


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

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,,

I keep reading this thread title as "Interracial Jacks".....hmmm....I think I'm onto something here.

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??

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
