1. Hydro' s without a doubt, for what you are wanting to do with it.
2. You are gonna need top of the line gear no matter what brand you go with. If you want height and durable then don' t look at anything other then competition models. I would say check the big names like CCE, Pro Hopper, etc., do a google search on hydro kits.
3. The best advice I can give is to re-enforce everything. Just keep boxing frame and beefing everything up. You are gonna have to run chains to stand 3' s.
4. Think about your question. It is very hard on the whole car! A tire is not meant to have 1500 lbs. bouncing on them like that. And I am being nice on the weight numbers.
5. Reliable is gonna differ by quality of install and how well you take care of any make. I run CCE and have had almost no problems with it. My buddy runs ProHopper and has tons of problems, now he hops and I don' t so my system doesn' t get the abuse like his.
6. The best way not to break it is not to do it. But if you must then keep it in mind you will break something. So you have to be ready for it. Just work hard to make your whole car as strong as you can.
7. I have about $1300 all togther in my system. But that was cheap. And that was just the system. Are you gonna install it yourself? If not then double the cost of parts(rough estimate). That is US dollars, where are you at?
8. A HYDRO KIT! [8D]
9. You can fit the stuff in the trunk, you won' t have much of a trunk left though. You shouldn' t have to rip up the interior at all unless you want to. I wouldn' t though. But hopping may bounce out that sunroof you were talking about.
If you want any thing else feel free to post another question or shoot me a PM, I am usually better at answering questions but it' s been a long weekend and I am tired tonight. Sorry
George
