How to Custom Hydraulic Suspension in GTA Online
To use hydraulics in GTA Online, you first need to acquire a low-rider vehicle. You can then customize the hydraulics at Benny’s Original Motor Works.
Once you’ve chosen your car, you can start installing a suspension kit and play with the controls.
As mentioned earlier, the hydraulics suspension is exclusive to Benny’s Original Motor Works. You’ll need to bring a car that supports this customization to their shop.
Once in the Customizing window, find and select “Hydraulics“, then choose an available and affordable option.
Remember, the more money spent, the higher the vehicle will jump.

Tricks to Use for Hydraulics in GTA Online
Here are 8 tips and tricks for driving hydraulics vehicles in GTA Online:
- Hold “X” to lower hydraulics.
- Pressing the “X” key once will elevate the car to the highest suspension mode.
- To bounce with the whole car, hold and release “X.”
- While holding “X,” start pressing the “A” and “D” keys to bounce to a certain side.
- Repeatedly tapping the “X” key results in small, continuous bounces.
- Using the steering wheel joystick in tandem with the various “X” key tapping patterns results in the car bouncing about its rear axle, front axle and also about its sides.
- To make the front wheels bounce, players must press the “X” key and the “Left Shift” key or the “NumPad 8” key.
- To make the rear wheels bounce, players must press the “X” key and the “Left Ctrl” key or the “NumPad 5” key.
