[DeTomaso] small technical problem

[gow2 at rc-tech.net]

Actually it is just an air pressure adjustment; different pressure for
different ride height. I am not sure why you would need to buy Halls kit.
The shocks are pretty much a direct bolt on.

It could be done with or without a tank. A tank could give you pressure
for one or two movements. The pump keeps the tank aired up. A tank will
raise it faster then a pump, so the tank is nice for faster deployments.

I posted this earlier, but I pulled the leaf springs off my Cushman which
were rock hard. No reason for shocks because the suspension never moved
even with a 350lb welder on it.

I don't have a tank or pump on board. If I am going to haul a welder or
such I have a line on the side I hit with an air hose and tire chuck:
