Not only possible, but see this thread for video of an airbag ute... however, good taste will surely tell you it's a bad idea. Plus very expensive.

<edit> Ben ya beat me to it. yup, it's in Brighton, England.

Some even cam out with Hydro

that mini ute is hydraulic, not air bag.
it is to my knowledge imposible to fit 'bags' to a mini. cos they wont fit in a sub frame. there is a guy making a kit for a hydraulic set up in a mini which is going for about $3k sorry i cant be more helpful than that.

If you wanted to do something along those lines, then just modifying the original mini hydrolastic suspebsion to hydraulic would be easy as

sweet as thank you what would have to be done to convert the old system

a small hydraulic pump, a four way valve & another valve for up/down
plus a few hoses & fittings. Not very high pressure (300 - 350 PSI).

You could source these parts from an old wrecked crane - the outrigger control on our old Grove RT58B crane is a joystick-like 4 way valve that would be ideal

Could you run the pump off the Engine?
Copuse that could be Easy..

Yeah, but I think it would be easier with an electrically driven hydraulic pump
just like they use for the tilt on big outboard motors...

What about using a power steering pump, could allow minis to get over speed humps and through puddles

that was my reason for fitting it (if I ever do)
but I think mike is right about the electric pump, no power drain!

No good in a car required to handle properly - everytime you adjust height the camber and caster would go to hell. Might be OK for tootling around town or a show car though.

You would not want it moving anywhere over 60
Could send to the other side of the road
