it was just a suggestion but it added 2 inches to my hop,but my frame has had the ears chopped off plated with half inch over the barrel and the inside of the barrel has a piece of half inch steel water pipe welded to the top and bottom of the frame(on the inside)to keep the 3 ton coils in place.and the upper control arms are chained to the lower a arms,but i love to weld and if you got the time it adds a few inches with the cut 12s 10s work better but i run#8 hose with all half inch fittings and my dumps are blocked off and bypassed.but then again i run torpedos from showtime with 3/4 top ports.i see what your saying though but ,back in the day 12 or so years ago there were no real custom cylinders,ya had to port em yourself,but if you run bigger than 3/8 all the way from the pump it does work well ,if your that anal like i am lol.
