You should consider if a dump video would be good for people? Different styles, how they work, manifolds, there is alot about them some people dont understand, myself included.
Video Ideas: ·Different coil Tons ·1964 impala rearend ( c clamp/axle split issues) or other options for rearends. ·Trailing arms ( factory position vs. Extended trailing arms) ·Extended A'arms lengths explained ·Spendals ·Frame reinforcement ·Battery racks .Also if you have the body off frame with the frame ready for hydraulics. How do you setup/mock up a kit or test kit to raise and lower the frame for testing the lockup.
I’d love to see a complete installation of each with detailed explanation. Idc about the length of the video. I personally want in depth content and most guys don’t have it out there. For someone who TRULY wants to know what’s the ins and outs of the process and the elements I’d REALLY appreciate that. Even if it was sent to me personally via another medium/platform. I’d pay for that. Thanks for the content 🤝🏽🙏🏽🖤
I can't thank you enough Alex for all your videos and your help in the store. I was new to lowriders when I walked in to your store but with your help me and my little girl can hit the switches cruising the 63.. I will be back for some upgrades later on :) / Fredde (Sweden)
Great video brother 👍 I've always liked lowriders, Im 43 and finally going to build one. I no absolutely nothing about hydraulics lol. I've been in the trucking industry 23 years and could tell you anything you want to know about fixing a semi truck lol. Thank you for the videos.😎
Damn this was really helpful. When I used to see people 3 wheel back in the day I'd look at the cup and spring and I swear it was gonna let loose and shoot out.
You should make a video of what the difference between each kit u have online are and what kit would fit the buyer , looking to buy a kit and berly learning ,your videos are forsure helping me learn a lot man keep up the videos 💯
Just what I was looking for, you answered my long time questions. Thank you for your great video, looking forward to finish my 63 Riviera and have you guys to install a competition kit.
Building my first frame off lowrider and your videos have been extremely helpful. I’m still trying to teach myself a lot and have a long way to go but thank you so much for this info 🙏🏼
These videos are so tight thanks for doing them !! i’m debating on bagging or putting hydraulics on my wagon I want to be able to lay frame tho just don’t know how that works on hydraulics I’ve seen some cars on hydraulic don’t lay all the way out and then some do a video on that be cool in my book lol
I have a 62 impala build that I wanna start this will be my first low rider ever but I understand cars and these videos are helping me out a lot‼️ gonna do a 2 pump set up front and back with 2 square dumps I just wanna cruise but I do wanna jump the front
Loved the content, its information a lot of riders have been looking for. Can you do a video going over different gears/pump head sizes and the pros on cons of each?
Can you do a video on lifting a 65 to 70 impala?..just going over the options for the rear ends and what not..since the early 60s are mostly talked about and shown!
What’s up Alex you should do a video on a arms being extended and how to get high lock ups...I’ll be heading out there this Saturday to probably get a couple things bro.👌🏼
Thank you Alex. This video was and is very helpful. I'm still deciding on what set-up I want. If it will be the F,B,C,C or the F,B,S,S. and what size cups will I need to upgrade to on an 01 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Terra
I just watched your video , and i would like to know more about airbag systems;and I also know you're one of the biggest distributors of airbag systems in southern California 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good stuff....Good looking out very helpful information....its much appreciated i wanna start learning how to do my own installs i know how to weld and fabricate this is my next step right here thanks again
Disconnect it homie to be safe even when your just parked at a carshow or anywhere else car can catch on fire or you can mess up your setup if something happens like switch gets stuck or silanoids
Things sure have changed since my first lowrider over 30 years ago. The old school method I'm sure you know. I used to weld pipe on the bottom of a regular cup because there was no such thing as deep cups quite yet. I can't tell you how many times I lost coil springs in the back. then it went to drilling a hole sideways to mount the piston in a bracket like a hyme joint and now we have top cups to put on the top side of a coil-over set up. you can even take a reverse cup and put it upside down weld to the spring pocket and it has a smoother place for the cylinder to rub against. too bad we didn't have videos like this back in the day. we just had to figure it out ourselves or hope there was a how-to in Lowrider magazine. Being from TN, I was the only one around with hydraulics, so I just used trial and error
Thanks for doing these videos really helps for those that are new to hydraulics im learning my self this is my second car i own with hydros so still new to how everything works ive had a lowrider on bags so hydraulics and bags are different
I want hydraulics but I don't want to wrap my frame, can I just wrap the pressure points? I'm not into hopping just want to lay in play. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I have a 1964 Impala. I want to put some lifts in my ride. I want it laid out on the ground but also want to lifted when I need to & also want 3 wheel. I’m not going to be hopping crazy. What do you suggest for me & about what would your suggestion cost. Thank you Alex.
You’re a great dude! Thank you for this video! Helped me gain knowledge on what I want... and I’m that guy you’re talking about, not knowing one thing about hydraulics. Again thank you!
Alex how do you charge up the batteries how do you know when you over charge it what’s the best battery charger to use So you know if you’re over charging
DO NOT CHARGE FOR ONLY A HOUR your killing your batteries cycle life that way, use a multimeter to check your voltage regularly, and charge on a low charge 2 amp or lower for a good 10+ hrs depending on the status of the battery
Aye Alex I think you should shoot a video on how to charge your batteries properly a lot of people say for an hour other people say and depending on how many amps I really think you should show the public Proper way of charging your batteries
@@loelco8162 It's really a float charger. It charges it up and tapers off the charge rate to zero. and then detects when it discharges and turns back on. Trickle chargers never stop charging. I'd want a float charger any day (battery tender). Great for cars not used often,it'll be ready to go all the time and you don't need to check on it all the time like a trickle charger.
Can you explain about cutting your coil. I’ve heard about cutting a turn and a half. 2 turns. If that just to lay lower? Also about the tons? What’s good for hopping coil wise? Great videos
Hey Mr Alex it’s about 304 am and watched a lot of videos. And i came across yours . I know this video is old but man you made it real easy for me to understand. Thank you for that . I will try to make short. I have a 65 Chevy Impala SS . I’m 52 and I’m cruising guy . I got air bags on already. But i want hop it , side to side and and maybe 3 wheel it but still undecided because I’m not trying to anything crazy like you said.What do you think Mr Alex best for my 65 ?
Another great video !!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro. I always thought that “coil over” was for imports, and probably we’re back in the day. But, I see the advantage of using the coil over, rather than the coil under. I’m use to coil under. Never had a problem whatsoever. But, I wasn’t hopping on my first car. It was lay and play. My 2nd car, was lay and play with 3 wheel motion. And used the coil under. Except no speed balls. So, I can definitely see the advantage of using coil over. Thanks for sharing your videos sir. Enjoying the knowledge bro.
Great videos bro. You should do a video if you haven't already about the difference in hopping with 8" cylinders in front vs 6" cylinders and understanding what's needed to avoid breaking ball joints. See it happens way too often. Thanks man!!
When your doing your wiring setup for solenoids. I understand running 2-3-4 in a row just in case something blows. But why doesn’t anyone run them in series parallel as well. So 2 in a row in 2 banks to one pump to share the load of the motor? Or 3 in a row in two banks would really drop the load across a single bank
I’ve always wanted a 64 said I was gonna make a crown Vic but I bought my second car a e500 & I think I’ve waited long enough & I had the kit since I was like 15 time to install this vid helped a lot I’m goin hydrostuts all around
First of all love all the videos, so thank you for that but my question is where’s the best place to mount the power balls? I have mine welded to the stock spring perches, is that best practice? Thank you
Much appreciated, Now I'm hoping I can see you do a full install on a 1998-2011 lincoln Town Car...I'm still kinda confused on the rear coil over installation
I was wondering if you could do a video, or just answer this. Where do you run the lines from the front? In the frame? Along the frame? Or in the vehicle? Also, I love the videos by the way, you help out a lot of people.
Really have been helpful🙏🏽how about one on different was to 3-wheel? I’ve seen power-balls on rear end with chains. And power-balls on trailing-arms. And power-balls on rear-end NO chains.
What's going on Alex. lots of good info you putn out there for the lowrider community right on. I have one question, see I have a 97 Cadillac DeVille fwd. I'm looking fwd cylinders set up ?
Dude super helpful video thanks for making this! Ive been trying to figure out the difference between coilover and under since i seen you do that 57 with the mad high lockup. Can you run coilover setup in the front as well? Would there be any pros/cons to that? Thanks again man you rule!!
Can you do a video on what tonnes springs to use and recommend and why for example when using 4 pumps with 8 batteries in an Imparla. Your videos are great keep up the he good work 👍🏻
Just started watching the channel regularly so maybe this has already been covered? How about a video on heavy duty 36 volt solenoids vs 12 volt solenoids in series ?
Thank you so much Alex I tell you that I am new to this game I am afraid to ask your questions at the cost of looking stupid I'm building my first lowrider I'm very very far north I'm not even in the US and there's no lowriders in my neighborhood that was Hydraulics anyways and I'd like to build my first one bought myself a 64 Impala and I will be buying everything I need off you guys thanks again keep up the good work
Alex out here keeping the culture alive
You should consider if a dump video would be good for people? Different styles, how they work, manifolds, there is alot about them some people dont understand, myself included.
Agreed!
Sorry for the long Tex Mr Alex Great Videos 👍🏻
My car used to Squeak like that song you mentioned Trillville-“Some Cut”! 😂 (REMIX G-Body Version) Hole saw fixed that! Nice video!
You cut the hole bigger?
70 impala Ya cut it 2-1/4 to have some play. The previous owner cut it to small, rear cylinders were rubbing bad!
@@SittinLow ok yeah where my cylinders are in the back have a hole but not that wide I have coil over with power balls
😬🙈😂 Yea Triville " What it is ho o was up?" Yea my car did it to. How inverasing.. # let me hire the system.😬🙈😂
What is the purpose of the powerball? im not to familiar w its purpose. is it better with or with out. At the moment i do not have them.
Thank you for making these videos, your doing a great job, every little bit of advice helps, especially when it's free.
Thank you very much for the info bro I’ll be taking my car to your shop 👍
Man keep these kind of videos coming. I swear people act like the lowrider scene is a secret society and they can’t tell you shit. Hoppos is A1
Learned so much watching your videos keep up the excellent work Alex 👍

Been subbed for a while. Good information. What about motors? Saco, presto lite, or china.. How bout gears? Those would make good videos.
Would like to see a video on removing front end springs to swap with another spring
Alex can you do a video on hopping coils ?
Like what’s best for each pump head,
Voltage and car

Just got my first lowrider and redoing everything I want done to it and this video is so helpful thank you….do you have a video on springs
Some cut by Trillville Alex stays coming through with the lowlow cheatcodes
could you do a video for trucks on what will work best other then air and what is the correct way to install hydraulics on trucks
You’re a great dude! Thank you for this video! Helped me gain knowledge on what I want... and I’m that guy you’re talking about, not knowing one thing about hydraulics. Again thank you!

Great videos
Indeed. A video explaining tons would be heplful and in line since you've already went over the cups and cylinders
Just buy pre cut coils
@@PavethaWay yeah thats what I always been told because if you cut springs you'll run into the problem of not having your coil ends level.

Great info now what about going with whammy or two pump system
Back in the 70's, my buddy would grind the coil spring flat and weld in the shallow cup.

Much appreciated, Now I'm hoping I can see you do a full install on a 1998-2011 lincoln Town Car...I'm still kinda confused on the rear coil over installation
Show a video on where to cut in the front end on a basic Gbody hyro build please possibly the rear as well
Can you please explain about Y Block or Piston pump. Love the videos
I was wondering if you could do a video, or just answer this. Where do you run the lines from the front? In the frame? Along the frame? Or in the vehicle?
Also, I love the videos by the way, you help out a lot of people.
keep up the awsome work👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼videos are perfect
Good videos... Make a video of drop mounts and trailing arms
Thanks homie for sharing all that
So can undo a video on best setup for specific things. Best hopping setup. Best all around setup etc. Thanks and can't wait to do my Z rack on my Yota
Can you do a video on how the drop down mounts work
Hey can you do a video on how to choose how many pumps for your set up???
Really have been helpful🙏🏽how about one on different was to 3-wheel? I’ve seen power-balls on rear end with chains. And power-balls on trailing-arms. And power-balls on rear-end NO chains.
What's going on Alex. lots of good info you putn out there for the lowrider community right on. I have one question, see I have a 97 Cadillac DeVille fwd. I'm looking fwd cylinders set up ?
GREAT VIDEO....JUST IN TIME BEFORE MY PURCHASE
Can you cover frame reinforcement and pricing
Can you do a video on Air bags when mounting it to the Tubular A-Arms!
Thanks!!
Could u cover the electrical wiring part of it. Wiring 4 batteries set up or more
Super helpful man, and videos possible on installing adjustable trail arms and hiem joints on a g body?
Great advice brotha man dope videos
Dude super helpful video thanks for making this! Ive been trying to figure out the difference between coilover and under since i seen you do that 57 with the mad high lockup. Can you run coilover setup in the front as well? Would there be any pros/cons to that? Thanks again man you rule!!
yes you would if you wanted to
Nice video very informative, what's your opinion on cool under set up, and what you take on welding the coil to the cup.
Can you do a video on what tonnes springs to use and recommend and why for example when using 4 pumps with 8 batteries in an Imparla. Your videos are great keep up the he good work 👍🏻
Thanks Alex for that video now I understand it now .
Great video!! Getting ready to juice my 64. Wanted to see... 4 pump with 2 whammys... or 4 pumps with their own tanks? Pros cons?
Just started watching the channel regularly so maybe this has already been covered? How about a video on heavy duty 36 volt solenoids vs 12 volt solenoids in series ?
Can you make a video about a pump sounds like is spinning but car won't raise up, wondering if it's the key way
Thank you so much Alex I tell you that I am new to this game I am afraid to ask your questions at the cost of looking stupid I'm building my first lowrider I'm very very far north I'm not even in the US and there's no lowriders in my neighborhood that was Hydraulics anyways and I'd like to build my first one bought myself a 64 Impala and I will be buying everything I need off you guys thanks again keep up the good work
