Default Where to find on-board air jacks.

Does anyone know of a source for the air jacks pictured below? They would be nice to have on track days or for a quick wheel change at home. Thanks.

I ended up @ Essexparts.com looking at AP Racing air jacks and they are too expensive for my budget. $580.00 for the 990 lb jacks and $1200.00 for the 2200 lb jacks. Those prices are for each jack.

LOL how do you plan to haul the air bottle around that it takes to operate them?

How much pressure and volumn do they require? You might be able to use a paintball air tank. Nothing like 88 cu. in. of air at 4500 psi.

Anyone know how heavy an average system like that would weigh?

they're pimp, but not very practical unless you're running a high-dollar pro race team.

These are pretty much a pure racing part and then only if your class allows them. You are better off with a $100 AL quick action floor jack unless money is no object and you MUST have them. I can't think of a sub-GT class or series that allows them??

Yeah, they are completely out of my league. You need 350 PSI to operate them. I thought it would be worth checking into. Guess I'll just have to wait until Publishers Clearing House knocks on my door with a big fat check!!!
