Any one know where I can get a set of air jacks like what F1 uses during there pit stops.

The picture of the Red yokoma S2000 has them.

Are you planning on using the car in a racing series?

F1 doesn't use air jacks. They hoist the car up with devices that look like dollies.

 

A set of built in jacks is so expensive you'll change your mind quickly. They will also require a decent amount of fab work to install.

 

yea the cheapest i have seen is like 800 bucks each corner...from a tiwanese company...or maybe that was 800 set..?

 

F1 cars don't use anything now...they don't change tires

 

Sure they do, they just have to go flat first.

 

THEY DO CHANGE TIRES!

 

This is O/T, sorry

For the 2005 season F1 cars need to use the same set of tires for Qualifying 2 and the whole race.

In F1 you are allowed to change tires only if the tire is deemed damaged . If FIA deemes the tire not damaged upon post race inspection, the driver will be penalised.

F1 cars do not have internal airjacks, they are raised using manual jacks at the front and rear.

 

I must have been thinking of the CART series then.
When the gas guy hooks in the fuel line there is an additional line that contains pneumatic pressure to actuate the air piston that in turn raise the car.. When he disconnects the fuel /air lines the air jacks retract by spring pressure.
