Wondering why some people still prefer the good ole' hydraulic switches, over the new air ride systems..

because, unlike hydralics, air has to compress to lift up the cyclinder struts to higher the cars. This requires alot of time, about 10 minutes if you buy the blowjax system with their compressor. If you want to higher the car up faster, you need a stronger compressor, which is most of the time heavier and with a stronger compressor you would need to replace the plastic tubing and replace with regid tubing.

I would never get hydraulics....you have NO SUSPENSION WHAT SO EVER!....gotta remember, airbags may take longer to go up unless you get holding tanks and a faster compressor....but when you are riding down the road they act like a spring. Hydraulics on the other hand are always rigid so it's like driving a log wagon.
