Air Spring

[101Turtle]

Does anyone know where I can find Air springs that have a thru hole (donut shape), can lift at least 500 lb.  Dimension sizes around 10" OD, 6" ID (size can very)

Firestone and Goodyear both make such things.<br><br>Look at mcmaster-carr.com and look up &quot;air springs&quot;<br><br>Larry

I have tried contacting them a few times, and have talked to there local reps.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem is they do not have a thru hole on these air springs.&nbsp;&nbsp;They mount by threads on the top and bottom.&nbsp;&nbsp;I need to run a 3/8-24 rod thru the center of the air springs.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you know of any other sources to check out, I would greatly appreciate it<br><br>Richard

buy some &quot;air shocks&quot; from your local speed shop!!!

If the max lift height is around 2-3&quot; that would be great.&nbsp;&nbsp;I might have found a source back East.<br><br>Richard

You might try using a tire inner tube. These are made for small tires like on scooters.<br>Maybe you can find a size that will suit your needs.<br>The two sites below sell inner tubes.<br><br><A HREF="
