Hmm...

Here's some thoughts...

What are you are going to do with the hydros, how many batteries, what moves.  Depending on that, you would need some reinforment of the frame.

Find a good vendor to buy the parts from, compare prices and service and location.

Get a few books on aircraft and industrial and lowrider hydraulics and electrical. Plan and learn as much as you can before the install.

Get an idea of the tools and safety equipment.

Get an idea of how you plan the layout in the trunk, size cylinders and hoses to the front.

If you're having someone do the cuts outs, find a good shop or someone that knows what to, and, what not to do.

A two pump set up will do everything u want. Two pump Ten switches Eight batteries. :ph34r:

so basically, the eight batteries set up is to gain weight for the tail

Its my understanding that all hydraulic parts are pretty much the same regardless of the name stickered to them.  It's all a matter of configuring the right set up for your ride,  #9,10,11 gears, large port blocks,6 or 8 hoses 3 or 8 batteries.  All these parts are ingredients to create the perfect set up for YOUR ride.  Save your self money and shop around.   I have noticed that black magic has been tearing up the scene lately. they are very innovative with their products and i really like that, prices arent too bad either.
