well I hate to admit it but I went through my "hopping on air phase" and using nitrogen and 1/2" valves was able to get my shop truck ( 92 Crew Cab Dually BBC) to get off the ground with out any damage. I can't say if it was a good idea or not or recommend anyone else try it. Other than a popped bag I've never broke anything hopping. Of course, the kick of doing it only lasted part of one summer and I didn't get carried away with power like some of the air hoppers I've seen.
Here's a pic of the truck:
