I have never used air bags before (the lifting type), but I think my
latest project would benefit from them.

I have a "chassis dyno" in the shop, and it uses two ramps that you
drive the car up, then once the drive wheels are on the dyno rollers,
I lift the ramps up with floor jacks to be level, and place stands
under the ramps. Once the car is in place, only the non-drive wheels
are on the ramp, so the lifting load is easily manageble with a floor
jack on each ramp, lifting them each evenly. I would estimate the max
load the air bags would EVER see to be 2500 lbs.


Hunter front-end alignment racks have used air bags for years. Go to a
chassis/tire shop and look one over.
