Too Afraid to Ask

Hydraulic suspension is a system that uses liquid to lift or lower a car. It's often used in custom cars to make them bounce or change height.

Technical Definition

Hydraulic suspension systems use fluid-filled cylinders to adjust the ride height and stiffness of a vehicle's suspension. They are often used in lowriders to achieve dramatic changes in height and improve ride quality.
