Now, you just have to find yourself a hydraulic motor off ebay. They go for less than $50 from what I've seen. Add a few rubber lines, some hard lines, and a bunch of check valves and you're almost done. If your car needed new shocks, I don't see any reason not to try it.

Now combine that with some 65 psi truck tires and adjust the damping to compensate and you have even more production capacity. :-)
