5. is it expensive to build such a feature?

Answer 2

its called hopping . check out lowrider magazine if you get a chance. lots of cool pics and tips on how to build a hopper.as far as springs i think  they use oversize springs and they beef up the chassis. basic hyd systems run about $1500 out the box . basic maintence knowledge is good becuse all that hopping will loosen hydraulic fittings and hoses, etc. hope this helps and keep cruzing...
